Link Together and Share!

What can happen when churches, nonprofits, businesses, volunteers, and individuals link together to serve their community?

In this episode of Let's Share, Leigh Byers welcomes Wanda Keegan, Director of Community Engagement for Love in the Name of Christ of the Heart of Florida (Love INC). Wanda shares how Love INC brings churches and people together to respond to real needs while helping individuals and families move toward greater stability, dignity, and hope.

The conversation goes beyond simply giving something to someone in need. Leigh and Wanda explore the importance of thoughtful benevolence—walking alongside people, building relationships, identifying underlying needs, and creating opportunities for long-term transformation.

Wanda shares how Love INC Heart of Florida's Connection Center works with local churches to connect people with resources; how the Journey program brings participants, volunteers, and churches together; and how programs such as Work Life help people develop skills and prepare for meaningful employment. The ministry also provides practical assistance, including furniture and household necessities, while creating pathways for people to become stronger and more self-sufficient.

The conversation also highlights an important part of sharing that can easily be overlooked: the person who gives often receives, too. Volunteers of different ages find purpose, connection, relationships, and opportunities to use their gifts while serving others.

Whether you have a need, have something to give, want to volunteer, or simply want to learn how communities can collaborate more effectively, this episode is an invitation to consider where you might link together with others and share.

Because none of us knows when we may be the one giving—or the one receiving.

Giving + Receiving = Sharing.

In this episode of the Let’s Share Podcast, host Leigh Byers, Founder and President of Have A Need A Ministry (HANA), is joined by Becky “Baby” Hudson—musician, arts and health practitioner, and Board Director of Art in Health Ocala Metro—for a powerful conversation on the healing role of art in people’s lives.

What begins as a local story in Ocala, Florida quickly expands into something much bigger.

Becky shares her journey from lifelong musician to serving in arts and health, where creative expression is used intentionally to support emotional, mental, and physical well-being. From working with healthcare environments to engaging individuals through organizations like The Arc Marion, this episode highlights how art creates connection, dignity, joy, and healing across diverse populations.

A central insight from this conversation is simple yet profound: Art is a bridge between body, mind, and spirit—and it has the power to help people feel better and heal.

While this work is happening in one community, the impact and opportunity extend far beyond. Arts in health initiatives are growing across the state, the country, and globally—creating new ways for individuals and organizations to serve others through creativity.

This episode is both an introduction and an invitation.

In this episode:

• How art supports healing across body, mind, and spirit
• The real impact of arts in health within a local community
• Why creative expression matters in challenging life situations
• A model that can be replicated in other communities
• Simple, accessible ways anyone can engage in art for well-being

Whether you are:

• A community member looking for encouragement
• An artsy person looking to share their artistic talents in their community
• Someone navigating personal challenges
• Or simply curious about the connection between art and healing

…this conversation offers insight and inspiration you can apply wherever you are.
