Making Room by Gather Time: How Perseverance, Love and Community Held Them Together When Incarceration Kept Them Apart w/ Fox & Rob Richardson
This episode is quite possibly the most powerful, eyeopening and heart wrenching that I have hosted yet. As I welcome on our new friends, I found that I quickly realized how little I know about incarceration, the justice system and what families endure going through it. Through this conversation my hope is to give us all a new layer of education, information and hopefully in turn compassion and a call to action as community.
You have have noticed that there were a few weeks off from the show AND if you listen you will hear big news as to why we took an unexpected break in the show!
Through this episode we discussed what Rob & Fox believed about the justice system before their own personal experience and the truths they faced on the other side of them.
Their profound story of getting married, opening a business and the despair that led to taking money by force . All of which led to their arrest and the beginning of their experience with the justice system.
"It is a horrible place when you as an individual feel like you have run out of options". How we can all relate to and have compassion for the human reality of despair.
How community came alongside them in the midst of incarceration and solo parenting. How we as community can come alongside families in similar situations as well.
The truth behind the way Hollywood depicts prison time. The reality of incarceration and why it's important to care.
How a story of despair can be rewritten to a story of purpose and hope
This powerful story makes room for all of us to grow in understanding on a difficult topic, yet, one that is so necessary for us to be aware of as part of community. Be sure to follow them, watch their documentary and purchase their newly released book!
