HERE is a new podcast about life stories and lessons learned that asks the question- what got you to the place you find yourself in at this point in your life?
We have all been there, staring at a map wondering where we are, and then we see it- the large dot and the words YOU ARE HERE, and suddenly a sigh of relief because now you have perspective on where to go next. But have you ever spent time processing how you got to the spot in which you stand right now, the journey it took you to get there? HERE with me- Maggie John will take you on that journey with each guest as we hear the lessons they have learned, the journey they have taken and how it has made them who they are today. We are all here for a reason- let’s find out why together.
Maggie John is a journalist who has worked in the industry for 20 years interviewing newsmakers; politicians; celebrities and people with incredible stories. She is known for her personal; intimate style of interviewing and her gift of listening. She has travelled the world telling stories of survival and strength from the 2010 earthquake in Haiti to war-ravaged Uganda and how they have picked up the pieces after years of war.
Peter Mutubazi is a proud foster dad! But his story started out in the depths of poverty in rural Uganda. Raised by an abusive father and a mother who daily yearned to protect her children, Peter ran away from home at the young age of 10. Living on the streets for years, it took a perfect stranger who saw his potential and gave him a future.
This is a story of persistence; grace; faith and love. A true undog story. Peter is a living testimony of someone who was given an opportunity to be more than he ever thought he could ever be.
This is also the Season One Finale of Here with Maggie John!

The Road Away from God with Jonathan Martin
Have you ever walked away from your faith and away from God? Have you ever been disillusioned by your faith? Jonathan Martin has written a new book entitled The Road Away From God and he joins me this month on the podcast. Using the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus he shows how many of us can walk away not knowing like the disciples that there is another person present with us in our pain- His name is Jesus. Church Hurt is real and affects all of us in different ways, how that impacts our relationship with God and others can be hard. This is a conversation all can take something away from.

Reading Black Books with Claude Atcho
The invisibility of black people in Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man; the desire to belong that is displayed in Toni Morrison's Beloved....what do these and other Black works of art tell us about our spiritual beings and what can we learn about ourselves from these literary pieces?
Pastor and teacher Claude Atcho offers a theological approach to 10 seminal texts of 20th-century African American literature. Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and Richard Wright's Native Son; to Zora Neale Hurston's Moses, Man of the Mountain and James Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain and Toni Morrison's Beloved.
While many of these works of art were not written with a spiritual lens Atcho takes the time to study each from such a perspective.
