My podcast, Meet the Gamechangers, is kicking off Episode 3 with a real conversation—and honestly, it’s one we all need.

I sat down with Regisha “Reggie” Rijkaard, founder of Pause 4 Peace, an organization focused on helping teens navigate screen time, social media pressure, bullying, and online harm. What surprised me most is how quickly this became a conversation about all of us.

If you have a phone—or know someone who does—this episode will open your eyes. We talk about how much time we’re actually spending online, what teens are carrying in silence, and how learning to pause, trust our instincts, and set boundaries can change more than we think.

This one is honest, hopeful, and practical. No shaming. Just truth, care, and a better way forward.

In this episode of Meet the Gamechangers, Rev. Kevin Ross sits down with Katie Loncke and Rami Khader to unpack the difference between false peace and real peace. Together, they examine how silence, comfort, and avoidance are often mistaken for peace, while harm and injustice continue underneath. Drawing from spirituality, mental health, activism, and lived experience, the conversation explores what real peace actually requires—truth, courage, and accountability. This episode invites listeners to reflect on where peace has been performed, and where it still needs to be built.

What if feeling off, heavy, or unlike yourself isn’t life falling apart—but grief that hasn’t been named yet?

Grief doesn’t only come from death. It shows up after relationships end, careers collapse, health changes, homes shift—after every loss that wasn’t supposed to happen. When grief isn’t named, it quietly reshapes how life feels, how joy surfaces, and how the future looks.

In this first episode of Meet the GameChangers, Rev. Kev (Kevin Ross) sits down with Melissa Hull, author of Dear Drew, whose son died in an accidental drowning. What Melissa learned from that loss reaches beyond tragedy—it gives language to the everyday experiences of loss most of us have felt but couldn’t put into words.

This conversation doesn’t promise a quick fix or a tidy ending. It meets grief where it actually lives: in the body, in the choices we make, and in the way we learn to carry what’s lost without losing ourselves.

Listeners will hear honest reflection and practical insights they can use in real time to start this year not by pushing pain aside—but by understanding it more deeply and living with it more fully.
