Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 459: Christy Staats Ukrainian Refugees and Beyond
Christy Staats is from Stow, Ohio, and went to Miami University receiving a BA in Communications, and BA in Comparative Religion and minor in Sociology. She worked with Cru for 15 years, 11 of which were in the UK and is now affiliate staff. She created Crossings in 2015 for her church in Northeast Ohio to encourage Americans to welcome and come alongside newly arrived refugees in partnership with resettlement and community development organizations and led a similar work with Cru nationally. She was invited to join the Bibles, Badges and Business work of the National Immigration Forum in 2018 and has been organizing and speaking with faith, law enforcement and business leaders about the need for immigration reform since. She is the chair and helped launch the Akron chapter of the AND Campaign and loves helping Christians think of civics and politics as a way to love their neighbors. She is (finally) finishing her Masters in Theology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School this spring.

Episode 456 - Micah McElveen - Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 456
 
 
 
Through his near-death experience in 1995, Micah McElveen's eyes were opened. An aspiring athlete, the then teenager had his life in front of him. But it came to an abrupt pause after a surfing accident broke his neck and placed him in a wheelchair. However, this would not be the end and would ultimately be the catalyst for him walking again as well as experiencing a spiritual transformation that would impact others globally.
 
In his debut release, Dying for Purpose he delivers a fresh perspective on pain, purpose, and mission and how it can be channeled to create a life focused on helping others.
 
Highlighting the trials and tribulations of starting a fledgling ministry in his car, maintaining faith when circumstances seem insurmountable, and remaining spiritually grounded. He writes. “Life can be a puzzle. We begin our journey with an idea of how things are supposed to be–only to one day find unrecognizable pieces lying across the floor of our lives.” McElveen adds, “Amid the most tragic time of my life–when I considered life in a wheelchair. My near-death was designed to bring life to others.”

Spend Groundhog Day with Guest Stephen Tobolowsky - Episode 453 Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 453
Stephen Tobolowsky is one of the leading character actors today. He has appeared in over 200 movies and television shows. Here is the list: Stephen Tobolowsky at IMDB for credits.
He has played everything from Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day to Sandy Ryerson in Glee. He has appeared almost naked as Stu Beggs on Californication and has worn the same suit for seven years as Principal Earl Ball on The Goldbergs. Stephen currently appears as Dr. Leslie Berkowitz in the new generation remake of Norman Lear's One Day at a Time. Seasons 1-3, at present, are still available on Netflix.  PopTV and CBS aired Season 4.  Hopes are high for more episodes as soon as safe filming practices can be set in the pandemic era!
Please read here for the One Day at a Time journey.
Stephen has always been a storyteller. In sixth grade he won his school’s storytelling contest and over that summer won the award as best storyteller in the City of Dallas (13 years old and under division.) That impulse led him into writing. He wrote the screenplay for True Stories with David Byrne and Beth Henley.
He wrote and performed his storytelling films Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party and The Primary Instinct.
His labor of love has been The Tobolowsky Files, created with producer David Chen. What began as a behind-the-scenes movie podcast has become a sometimes funny, sometimes compelling portrait of a human life - as described by Miles McNutt here.
“The Tobolowsky Files” is available at tobolowskyfiles.com and on Apple Podcasts. Early episodes were also previously broadcast on KUOW 94.9 in Seattle, on WFPL in Louisville, KY and many stations through Public Radio International (PRI).
He has two books of stories published by Simon & Schuster: The Dangerous Animals Club and My Adventures with God.

Episode 452 - Ian Zumback - Hey Jerry

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 452
Ian Zumback
Sometimes we all need an unexpected word from an unexpected wise man. Much like the subject in Ian Zumback‘s new single, “Hey Jerry,” sometimes it takes someone from outside of our own little bubbles to bring a much needed perspective. While we revolve around ourselves in our own worlds, there’s a world of things—and people—with highs, lows, and the in-between happening all around us, all of the time. This is a beautiful, story-telling sonic reminder of this principle, all set to a catchy song.
