The Bridge to Kindness — A Truly Fulfilling Life with Ron Smith

The Bridge to Kindness — A Truly Fulfilling Life with Ron Smith

God invented time. Man invented the watch. And sometimes it takes nine years — and a Kairos moment — for His plan to fully reveal itself. In this episode, Ryan Reichert and Lisa Sander welcome Ron Smith, founder of the Bridge to Kindness and co-director of Neighborhood Bridges — a volunteer-powered movement that has impacted over 634,000 people across 68 communities in four states over nine years. Ron shares the God-ordained story behind his mission: how a single phone call at a fire scene became the spark for a five-step community kindness model that connects nonprofits, businesses, and everyday people through their spiritual gifts. From his parents' quiet acts of generosity to a comedian's nine-year prayer finally answered, this episode is a powerful reminder that our gifts are not just for us — they are someone else's miracle. Tune in to Our Healer, Our Protector, and be inspired to look at your own Kairos moments — and how He is calling you to use them. Subscribe to Our Healer, Our Protector Audio Podcast.

The Two Economies Nobody Told You About (And Which One Is Stealing Your Future) with Ryan Lee

What if money were never supposed to run your life? What if the whole point was to buy your life back? Ryan D. Lee, author of "Retire in 10 Years or Less" and founder of Wealth Outside Wall Street, joins Ryan Reichert and Lisa Sander for a conversation that is as much about purpose and faith as it is about finances. Ryan D. Lee shares his personal journey from high school dropout to financially free, the crisis moment that changed everything, and the simple framework that has helped thousands of people stop trading their time for a paycheck and start building real freedom. They remind us that God did not give us unique gifts so we could spend 40 years working for someone else. Tune in to Our Healer, Our Protector, and be reminded that it is never too late to take control, invest in yourself, and start living the life you were always meant to live.

Inside the Mission Project: What 72 Hours With the Right People Can Do to Your Life

Everyone says they would die for the people they love. But would you live for them? In this deeply personal conversation, Ryan and Lisa Sander open the door on the Mission Project: a community of imperfect, purpose-driven people who have come together from all walks of life — veterans, nurses, teachers, business owners, survivors of addiction, trauma, and loss — to do the inner work, tell their stories, and step into who God created them to be. The Mission Project, founded by Erik Rock, is heading to Cabo, Mexico, for a three-day immersive retreat — breathwork, nervous system healing, community, and real conversations that can redirect the trajectory of your life. Whether you're in a business that's stalled, a relationship that's struggling, a season of isolation, or a battle you've been fighting alone, this is your team.
