Reformers Collective

Host Becky Hennesy brings on a new friend and reformer to the podcast. Her name is Deja Ard and her journey to launching a life-changing childcare center is incredible. It's a unique facility because it is specifically designed to assist children diagnosed on the Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Deja is all too familiar with this special needs world after her own son was diagnosed with ASD at age 2. At first she struggled to find answers to help her son's behavior/speech development. Deja explains to Becky how she went through a series of emotions such as denial, depression, stress, defeat, confusion, guilt, anger, helplessness and most of inadequacy. But her determination and perseverance paid off. Plus, a divinely-inspired mission trip to Costa Rica where she met a host of other parents with special needs children. Deja returned from that trip with a vision to not just help her own son, but hundreds of other families experiencing the same challenges she had. The result was brand new childcare facility called Spectrum of Love Childcare Center located in Duncanville, Texas. As all true reformers do, Deja worked tirelessly to build relationships with others around her. Specifically, she connected with local Independent School Districts, non-profit organizations, and local governmental officials to give her guidance on how to base her programs on the development of functional skills so that children will be successful and independent in school, at home, and in life. Spectrum of Love Childcare Center classrooms are setup to model a structure vital to teaching functional skills within that academic environment. With Behavior Technicians leading classes and using Applied Behavior Analysis Techniques, Deja says unique students will be better equipped for a successful school year and home life. Some of the activities at the childcare center include: - Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner - Occupational Therapy Techniques with arts, crafts, music and movement - Circle Time - Potty Training Assistance - Functional Life Skills station using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Techniques - Functional Social Skills station using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Techniques - Nap time - Behavior Technician Guided outdoor play to cultivate friendships - Speech Development and Sign Language - Academic Stations using Montessori Techniques Contact Deja at: Deja@SpectrumOfLoveChildcare.com The Reformers Collective podcast is part of the expanding Charisma Podcast Network (CPN).

Host Becky Hennesy welcomes America's favorite public school assembly speaker Reggie Dabbs to the podcast. Since the late 1980s, Reggie has been a familiar name for many teenagers who have heard him speak in hundreds of school systems, churches, youth camps and other events around the nation. His impact for the Kingdom is so broad and wide it's nearly impossible to measure. He and Becky share about his latest move to the Dallas/Ft. Worth Texas region, where he's joined the Trinity Church pastoral staff. They also dive into how his role in the Kingdom has reformation roots that run deep into the hearts of America's youth. Links to Reggie's website: reggiedabbsonline.com Born to an unwed teenager, Reggie was raised by foster parents until he was in the fourth grade, and then they officially adopted him and gave him the Dabbs name. As the Dabbs’ reared Reggie, they instilled in him strong moral values, for which he is genuinely grateful. They also ingrained in him the fact that in every situation he faced, he had a choice. What he did with those choices was entirely up to him. In the sixth grade, Reggie began playing the saxophone and hated it. At the insistence of his parents he continued to practice and to play. Not until his freshman year in college did he actually enjoy the instrument, and today, he plays with fervor and expertise. After graduating from college, Reggie began his public speaking. During one speaking engagement, his host asked if he would be interested in addressing a high school assembly. From that small beginning in 1987, Reggie has become a popular public school speaker. When addressing a school assembly, Reggie talks to the kids in a humorous style about choices each of them has when faced with drugs, alcohol, suicide, etc. Reggie gets in kids faces and tells them that he never smoked a cigarette, never did drugs, never drank alcohol, because he chose not to. He assures them that they can make the same kinds of choices. Reggie talks to kids about family and how thankful they should be that they have families. Most of all, Reggie drives home the fact that “You can never change your past, but you can change your future!” The Reformers Collective podcast is part of the expanding Charisma Podcast Network (CPN).

In this special episode of Reformers Collective, host Becky Hennesy takes her listeners inside the recent launch meeting for a new mid-week gathering called Reformers 101 at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill, Texas. The main speaker for the launch event was Dubb Alexander (who was Becky's in-studio guest two episodes ago). Dubb spoke to several hundred Christians who sense they have been specifically assigned to a particular sphere of society as reformers and influencers for the Kingdom. They came to hear how Dubb's overview of his School of Kingdom teaching series. The School of Kingdom is a training center designed to equip and release followers of Christ into practical skillsets and eradicate false religious mindsets. In the days following this message, he and Becky began leading nearly 200 people at Trinity Church for the Reformers 101 Wednesday night training sessions. Credentialed by the United Nations, Dubb travels the world working with multiple presidents and other heads of state around the globe to bring Kingdom solutions to nations. In 2018 encouraged by his spiritual father in the prophetic, Dan McCollam, Dubb began training other Kingdom minded world changers to do what he has done so effectively; to infiltrate the highest spheres of influence and covertly implement the strategies of heaven into the systems of the world. When Dubb is not traveling he can be found in Amarillo, TX loving life with his beautiful wife of 18 years, Beth, and his 10 year old daughter Cinda.

It's happened again! Another friendly takeover! Host Becky Hennesy's good friend Jamie Lyn Wallnau walked into the Reformers Collective Podcast Studio, grabbed a mic, and then proceeded to insert herself as the question poser for this episode. What nerve! Last time they broke down the Reformers Collective conference held back in October 2021. This time they discuss what makes Becky tick as a world changer herself and how she branched into this new realm of reformation. Plus Jamie Lyn realizes during the show how Millennialls and Gen-Zers like herself can learn key life tips from the (slightly) older generation. :) Becky also reveals her secret to how she made the transition from being a self-proclaimed quitter to becoming a champion in the reformation business. It's a trait Becky says she's also observed in every other great reformer she's met. Check out Jamie Lyn's own podcast!

Becky Hennesy introduces her podcast audience to another one of her new fast friends she has met in the past few months. His name is Dubb Alexander...and his life journey is almost too incredible to believe. His parents were ex-hippie atheists who later accepted Christ..but then joined a cult, got kicked out of the cult, and then started their own off-shoot cult from that cult. Crazy but true. That's why it's easy to see why Dubb says he has personally experienced the chains of twisted religious beliefs. Today, he is on a mission by God to reach his generation with the authentic and authoritative power of true Kingdom living. One of the ways he is seeing this come to pass is through launching School of Kingdom, an online training center designed to equip and release followers of Christ into practical skillsets and eradicate false religious mindsets. Credentialed by the United Nations, Dubb travels the world working with multiple presidents and other heads of state around the globe to bring Kingdom solutions to nations. In 2018 encouraged by his spiritual father in the prophetic, Dan McCollam, Dubb began training other Kingdom minded world changers to do what he has done so effectively; to infiltrate the highest spheres of influence and covertly implement the strategies of heaven into the systems of the world.

Host Becky Hennesy sits down with a new kindred-spirit friend Trog Trogdon. They met in 2021 at a chance encounter at Bonton Farms, an urban ministry located in Dallas, Texas. Trog went on to attend and participate in Becky's first ever Reformers Collective Conference later that year in October...and they have been fast friends ever since. Trog has dedicated his life to building the kingdom of God by doing a lot of small simple acts of love and kindness...over and over again. He is the kind of man that just looks and sounds like he could have been one of the 12 disciples following around Jesus! His passion to see others find the Truth in Christ is refreshing, attractive and encouraging. After graduating high school, he earned his BBA and MBA from Campbell University in North Carolina. Following his degrees, Trog came to Texas for what he thought was a business opportunity, but the Lord had different plans. For almost 20 years, Trog has served in leadership roles for multiple ministry endeavors, such as being a Cares Team with Apartment Life Ministries, helping plant 1042 Church in Frisco, and being a Discipleship Minister with Christ Church Plano. Just before launching Kingdom Focus Coaching, he served as an urban missionary and VP of Discipleship with Bonton Farms where he invested his time making disciples. Trog is married to a beautiful woman named Mendi and has three children, Sevyn, Rok, and Truth. He is passionate about helping the poor, sharing his faith in Christ, encouraging and equipping people to be all Jesus has called them to be. Among his various nuggets of wisdom and stories, Becky and Trog also discuss his journey into ministry that began in Bolivar, Missouri...and they learn during the podcast of their shared common roots in the Ozarks where both spent time in school and training.

Annabelle Wallnau has mastered the secret of mixing her Christian faith with action..and she is using simple household items like mattresses and couches as her ticket to demonstrate the tangible love of Christ. Host Becky Hennesy brings Annabelle onto the podcast to learn more about how this tour-de-force lady has impacted literally hundreds of hardship families (mostly single mothers). What started as an inconvenient water leak under a bathroom sink in Annabelle's home has transformed into a flood of generosity across the north Texas area. That heart to help bring reformation in people's lives is called Furnishing Families of Texas and she's become 'Exhibit A' of how everyday people can help match an available resource to a real need. "In March 2018, we had a water disaster in our home that required us to remove the contents of a bedroom and give the furniture away," says Annabelle. "I called our local Rapid Rehousing program at The Center For Transforming Lives and within minutes they gave me the name of a woman who needed the bedroom set who was just moving into her first apartment." Annabelle and a friend with her that day soon found out that the woman's 7-year-old son didn't have a mattress and had actually never slept in a bed in his life. Annabelle and her friend responded by saying "not on our watch!" Within a day the boy was sleeping in his very first mattress. Since then Furnishing Families of Texas has either purchased or negotiated the donation of over 300 beds, bedding, and housewares for single mothers and their children. What makes Annabelle's story even more amazing is that she operates strictly by a simple website and word of mouth to locate families who need helping hand with basic home furnishings. According in her website, the DFW Metroplex has one of the highest homeless, single mother family populations in the nation. Furnishing Families of Texas is committed to breaking the cycles of homelessness and generational poverty through teaching and experiential learning. Furnishing Families of Texas partners with local charities that help desperate families get a roof over their head. Many have nothing and will sleep and eat on the floor. The ministry works to provide beds, bedding, tables, chairs and other basic home necessities to these Moms and their children – at no cost to them. For many this will be their first kitchen table or first bed. Annabelle is no stranger to effective ministry originating from the DFW area. Her husband, Lance Wallnau, is a well-known prophet, speaker, author and TV host. He also hosts his own podcast/YouTube show called The Lance Wallnau Show Links from episode Furnishing Families of Texas The Reformers Collective podcast is part of the expanding Charisma Podcast Network (CPN).

Has host Becky Hennesy finally met her match in conversational enthusiasm? Guest Jackson Sandefer gives her a run for her money as they discuss how God is using him to revolutionize and reform the way local churches and ministries can reach the youth of the DFW area. During his time as youth pastor at Crossroads Church (Duncanville, Texas), Jackson began to work with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization. The favor he received from teachers, administrators, coaches--and most importantly students--opened the door for Jackson to lay the groundwork for students to launch their own outreach on public school campuses. He simply called them Jesus Clubs and they have struck spiritual gold across several campuses in the DFW area, including Duncanville High School, the largest high school in America. Jackson currently serves as the Director of Youth Alive Ministries (affiliated with the North Texas Assemblies of God District) where he plans to take the Jesus Club concept well beyond the scope of the DFW area.

Becky Hennesy's podcast has been hijacked! In this episode, prior guest and good friend Jamie Lyn Wallnau bursts into the Reformers Collective Podcast studio and takes over the host duties. She turns Becky into a guest on her show as they review the highlights from the first ever Reformers Collective Conference held back in October 2021 at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill, Texas. Aside from the conference, Becky gives an update to some amazing changes happening in the South Oak Cliff school system and how local reformers recently fought for massive physical upgrades to the tune of $70-million dollars. According to what Becky has learned from school officials, it's made a tremendous difference in the atmosphere and attitudes of both teachers and students. (Side note: could there be a correlation between this local transformation and the fact that South Oak Cliff's football team just advanced to the state title football game in 5A Division II?) They also discuss the small ways that anyone can begin the process of reformation in their own communities. Did you know that even serving as a substitute teacher can be a seed of reformation where you live? What about serving the homeless? Or being a foster parent for a few months? Or prayer walks/runs around your local schools and city government buildings? Check out Jamie Lyn's own podcast!

Are you old enough to know the name The D.O.C.? He's a famous 80s rapper and songwriter and he joins podcast in this episode with host Becky Hennesy! This conversation was recorded on-stage at the recent Reformers Collective Conference at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill, Texas. Their conversation reveals how The D.O.C. (Terry Lynn Curry) is currently experiencing a personal reformation on a spiritual level with God. In fact, he says something in this podcast that he had never publicly shared before concerning his new mission in life. (You'll have to listen to find out!) He and Becky talk openly about how God's mission for Terry never wavered even though he wasn't actively serving Him until very recently, when a divine revelation of who He is radically changed Terry's entire perspective on life. The D.O.C. was on his way to becoming a household name in the emerging rap culture in the late 1980s. But in November 1989, he was involved in a near-fatal auto accident. Curry was thrown out the rear window, slamming face-first into a tree. His injuries required 21 hours of plastic surgery, and he spent 2½ weeks in the hospital. He could not speak for about a month, and he was left with a different, raspier voice. It also altered the course of his musical career. No longer a primary voice on albums, he transitioned to becoming a song-writer for many of the most famous artists in American rap culture. Over the past 30 years, the D.O.C. has been widely recognized as one the OGs (original gangsters!) in rap music, even though he only produced a few minor albums after his accident. And for those who are curious: The D.O.C. stands for Dallas Oak Cliff! The Reformers Collective podcast is part of the expanding Charisma Podcast Network (CPN). Click here to visit the CPN main page.
