034: Standing in the Gap for People

Do you have a heart for service? Have you been in a place where helping might mean letting go of your own personal biases and privileges? How do you hold onto your calling when it seems like everything around you is conspiring against you? Host Mike Domitrz welcomes CAST member Darren Tipton for a special one-on-one interview. Darren shares his journey from being a 10-year-old boy who wandered into a nursing home after his grandmother died...looking to find other grandmothers to love; to offering no-judgement rides, as a young adult, to spring breakers who were intoxicated; to "standing in the gap" for people as the leader of Project Humanity.
