The Voyage Cast
As therapists, we started this podcast because therapy can only take us so far. Throughout history, it was the stories of our lives that connected and inspired us to become who we could be, so we endeavor to do the same. Our stories teach us and show us that our struggles, though difficult, do not have to define or control us. No matter what you think about your story, it matters! It may not be apparent right away but hope is embedded in the nature of every story, and we need hope. So, we are here to share stories from personal to professional. We are here to help inspire change in individual lives because we believe that your story and ours, can help change generations.

INTERVIEW | Micah Maberry's Vision for a Homeless Village: Tackling Homelessness through Relationships and Community Involvement
PART 2 - Our interview with Micah Maberry
In this episode, Micah and our hosts discuss the importance of forming genuine connections with the homeless and providing community-based solutions. They talk about the innovative concept of Front Porch Farms, designed to empower those in recovery centers and sober living homes by building homes and communities together. The conversation emphasizes that government and state services alone cannot provide the healing and support necessary for those in need and suggests creating a volunteer app for people to assist the homeless and create lasting relationships.

'Helping Homeless With Relationships and Homes':
I serve the homeless. I mean, we're called to do those kinds of things, but it's not just about giving a guy a few bucks so that he can have a meal or buy a meal. It's much more than that. It becomes and should become, more of a relational deal as opposed to a transactional deal. I think that is the part that we skip in our world and all of these things are becoming much more transactional. Very quick, the turnover, fast, phone buy, amazon, now! Whatever is seamless and easy and efficient, it's also very distracting.
I try to build homes for the homeless and they don't deserve it. They don't, and neither do I.
'Community-Based Solutions for Homelessness' :
It's our responsibility as citizens to live in that ability and to be called in those desires to help somebody else and really understand who they are. No, they can't just up and go get a job. They don't even have an ID, you know. They're dealing with mental illness, they're dealing with trauma all by themselves, there's no family, there are no friends. If you're homeless, nine times out of ten, probably more than that, you've experienced a profound, catastrophic loss of family - So how do we heal that? Well, we can do the best we can with community, that's what heals it. The government and the state can't provide that. So if we have people that can inspire and empower, people to help the homeless, then let's do it.
