When We Fail

This podcast invites us to look closer at the lives of people around us and to take time to hear their stories. This week I reflect on what happens when we fail to look to see the truth about other people. I challenge all of us to create a common table where we can share our stories honestly and boldly in order to help bring about peace and hope in our hurting nation...a nation grieving over tragedies in our communities.

When Moms Get it Right

Today I’m talking about two groups of Moms who have given me the courage to speak out and to love and to find hope for all people. My silence though the years allowed all of discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community to continue. There is no pride for me in all that I failed to say—didn’t do. For the people I never fought for and spoke up with. I’m so glad the LGBTQ community has never given up the fight even when so many of us stayed silent. I’m silent no more. I’m a proud Mama Bear giving Fre...

Tables or Sides

I used to naively believe that there never had to be “sides.” There never had to be choosing who to stand with because I thought we could learn to stand together. I believed in tables…I believed in conversations. I believed in being willing to hear another person’s voice, to understand another person’s life experiences. But then life taught me that some people are unwilling to come to the table and listen. Come to the table…join the conversations…there’s laughter and joy on the other side of the...

All That is Good

Today I’m going to talk about all that is good. I have thought long and hard about what I consider to be the good in the world…what I will choose to love and be a voice for as much as I am able. I think we all need to use this time to define what we will stand for and what we define as all that is good in this world. Hang on to all that is good. Now is the time to embrace the good, share the love, offer hope, enable healing, and find joy and love and hope for yourself in the process.

A Tear Shed for Me

Today I offer a reading of a Service of Healing originally written for a worship setting in Atlanta, Georgia. This reading reminds us to hang on to hope, to love, and to all that is good as we struggle in these uncertain times.

Even an Accountant Saves Lives

I’m Chris Pepple and today I’m once again going to talk about an individual instead of a nonprofit group. This week, however, I’m not going to talk about a public figure. I’m going to talk about a private individual…a person who could be defined as an average person in America with a career and a family. Today's episode is about a mentor and a financial coach. This is dedicated to all of the quiet heroes among us who often work without recognition. (Bonus poetry reading)

Power of Poetry

I’m Chris Pepple and today I’m going to talk about poetry. April is National Poetry Month, in case you didn’t know. National Poetry Month was inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. So, in honor of this month, I’m reading here several of my poems from my book titled Looking, Seeing published in 2018.

Today Together

In this podcast, I talk about people making one right choice at a time today. There’s a quote from Frozen 2 that says, “When one can see no future, all one can do is the next right thing.” I’m discussing what each of us can do in the moment we are in to not only help others but to also bring joy to ourselves as we do it. There are some wonderful things that individuals and communities are doing to think outside of their own worries and work to help others. (First released in 2020)

Election Day Thoughts

You will be known by your vote...by your love...by your justice...by your wisdom in understanding that we are all lifelong learners...that none of us have all of the answers...that we are better together. Vote like I matter. I will vote like you matter as well. We can sort out the economy and the national debt after we make sure we are all safe...no one wants a weak economy. But no one should vote as if only money matters. People matter.
