Tony Carter: Going Beyond: A Fire Chief’s Journey of Faith, Service & Black Brotherhood

In this heartfelt episode of YANA – You Are Not Alone, host James Trice sits down with lifelong St. Paul native and retired Assistant Fire Chief Tony Carter, a man whose journey embodies service, faith, and community. Tony shares his powerful story—from growing up in St. Paul to serving 30 years on the fire department, rising through every rank, and eventually stepping into leadership as Assistant Fire Chief. But his service didn’t stop at retirement. Today, Tony and his wife lead Beyond New, a grassroots ministry providing clothing, furniture, dignity, and hope to people who need it most, including those re-entering society after incarceration.
