Greg and Dan talk to Jon Rocke, Executive Director of Pathways Ministries, about the organization’s mission and its roots in a simple act of kindness that sparked a movement 70 years ago. As Pathways celebrates its 70th anniversary this fall, Jon reflects on how the ministry continues to embody the belief that when people care about people, it humanizes everything - building stronger communities through compassion and connection.
They also discuss the shift in society’s willingness to help others, the importance of community support, and inspiring success stories of individuals who, after finding help, now dedicate themselves to helping others.
Jon also shares details about his upcoming event, “Conversations on a Bench,” happening in conjunction with World Homeless Day from Thursday at 2 PM to Friday at 2 PM - a full 24 hours of meaningful conversations, both planned and spontaneous. The event will be streamed live on YouTube, bringing awareness to homelessness and the power of human connection.
