S22 Ep309: Interview: Rev. Dr. Keith Haney ~ Our Voices Can Heal Worlds!
<div> <p>Hi all! My guest this time, Rev. Dr. Keith Haney, shares a story that reminds us all that our voices are so much more powerful than we can imagine!<br>It all happened one day when Rev. Dr. Haney was asked to pray for a young woman in the hospital, and help with her transition as everyone expected her to die! Rev. Dr. Haney was astounded-how could he help her with this? How was his voice going to matter? But then...the miracle! I'm not going to ruin it for you but suffice it to say that that day changed worlds, and made this podcaster so very happy!</p><p>To check out my guest's podcast, "Becoming Bridge Builders" <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/becoming-bridge-builders/id1527559732">click here!</a><br>His Insta, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bkeithhaney/">click here!</a> And last, Rev. Dr. Haney's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVm86Zz-qorSD4YDx-0wnvQ">YouTube!</a><br>And finally, because Rev. Dr. Haney is so creative, his book, "Guided by Grace: A Narrative to Lead Organizational Change."

It would mean the world!</p><p>Your bit of beauty is this: I was lucky enough to attend an event at Northwestern featuring indigenous photographers. Breathtaking, heart-breaking and challenging, indigenous photographers are asking us all to take a step back and view the world through their eyes. This YouTube states, "Native people and cultures often conceive of the living world holistically, choosing to act with deep respect for all forms of life and an appreciation for their interconnections.
