Nashville Rescue Mission CEO Launches Real Hope Podcast

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nashville Rescue Mission president and CEO Rev. Glenn Cranfield have launched a new interview-style podcast titled Real Hope, featuring a diverse lineup of guests discussing the real problems behind homelessness and the leadership needed to solve them.

Each episode spotlights someone with a unique perspective on creating sustainable change and cultivating hope in their communities. From organizational presidents to country music stars, Cranfield interviews various leaders who are passionate about caring for the homeless community and finding long-term solutions for homelessness.

"Real Hope is a way for more people to discover what it's like to be homeless in today's world, what the homeless community needs right now, and what we can do to create transformative, lasting change," says Cranfield. "I believe hope is the through line. It's what everyone needs, no matter our circumstances. These podcast episodes are a way to share stories about what a difference hope-infused leadership can make and encourage listeners to sow real hope in their communities as well."

Recent guests of Real Hope include New York Times bestselling author and speaker Bob Goff, Los Angeles' Union Rescue Mission CEO Andy Bales, country superstar Tracy Lawrence, and Citygate Network President John Ashmen.
