In this tender and powerful episode of Hope Mississippi, I have the true honor of sitting down with “Miss Mary,” a former foster youth who entrusted me with one of the most heartbreaking and hope-filled stories I have ever heard. I cannot tell you how humbled I am that she trusted me enough to share her story, and I do not take that lightly. Mary opens up about how poverty, family instability, and a parent’s illness led her into foster care, and how placement after placement shaped the way sh...
The Henderson family recently gathered to celebrate Easter. Dorothy Henderson (our mom) went "home" three Easters ago so the gathering can be bitter sweet. As we reflect on the past and embrace the present, memories abound. But perhaps the listener will also find comfort in life and death as they talk about the Hope we celebrate at Easter. Please allow me to introduce our family: Dr. Gene Henderson (our Daddy) has been a pastor for 60 years and has lived a life of service which has insp...
When life hits hard, clear help and a steady voice can change everything. We sit down as mother and son to trace Sam’s switch from insurance to the law, why three weeks of practicing together confirmed our purpose, and how the right words at the right time help clients stand taller. You’ll hear what “being a hope dealer” looks like in real cases—calming a room, making choices visible, and walking with people through their worst days until the ground feels solid again. Music runs through our ...
One statistic can stop you cold: one in four Mississippi children lives in poverty, and one in five faces food insecurity. That’s the reality Cathy Clark chose not to look away from. Teacher. Advocate. Pastor’s wife. Law student. She planted both feet in hard soil and decided to move. In this episode, Cathy shares her Hattiesburg roots, the ministry that taught her how to sit with pain, and the moment that redirected her future. In 2021, a family friend was wrongfully convicted and sentenced ...
A quiet Navy office. A Gideon Bible. A young man searching for more. In this episode of Hope Mississippi, Pastor Carlos Wilson shares how a private spiritual awakening became four decades of public service, and a ministry rooted in hope you can actually see and touch. From rural Mississippi to Hattiesburg’s east side, faith looks like fresh paint on a weathered porch, new roofs over old homes, and a park where families gather under open sky. If you’ve ever wondered how calling turns into comm...
Mississippi doesn’t need more silos; it needs a shared table. We sit down with community leader and author Tina Lakey to discuss practical hope and how coordinated mentoring, cross‑denominational partnerships, and consistent prayer can move the needle on poverty, food insecurity, and youth outcomes across the state. From the work at the Methodist Children’s Home to the bold vision of Unite Mississippi, we walk through real models that bring people together and keep the focus on serving childr...
What if the detour is the assignment? In this episode of Hope Mississippi, Dawn visits with Van Jones to trace a winding path—from the Mississippi Delta to Southern Miss basketball, through a career-ending injury, and into a calling that stretches from classrooms to church pews, from an ice-cream counter to a lakeside retreat. The throughline is simple but demanding: excellence, service, and unity. Van opens up about growing up cramped but deeply loved, chasing the wrong heroes until basketb...
