Ever feel like the world’s moving fast… and losing its grip on truth? Jeff Lawrence is one of those voices that cuts through the noise — not with volume, but with vision.

🎥 Filmed at Canon Coffee in Apopka, this episode of Winter Garden Coffee + Collab dives into how we equip the next generation to not just believe the gospel, but think critically in a noisy world.

Jeff Lawrence, Director of Spiritual Development at Foundation Academy, is helping students do exactly that — teaching them to defend their faith, think logically, and spot truth in a culture that’s constantly shifting. With 30+ years in ministry and deep roots in both music and apologetics, Jeff brings clarity, wisdom, and storytelling that hits home.

What we talked about:
🧠 How critical thinking combats a culture of confusion
🎶 Why 1980s Christian music still matters
⛪ Gen Z’s return to reverence and liturgy
📱 Ditching smartphones for landlines and flip phones
📚 How Foundation Academy is raising truth-equipped leaders

Whether you're a parent, teacher, pastor, or someone who simply cares about the future of the Church, this one will ground you, challenge you, and encourage you.

Ever wonder what happens when a kid with a big heart and a mom who actually says yes team up to serve their community?

🎥 Filmed at Canon Coffee in Apopka — huge thanks to this warm and welcoming local spot for hosting our coffee and conversation!

Danielle Newbold is the Founder & CEO of Miles To Go, a nonprofit born in the front seat of a car when her then 9-year-old son, Miles, asked, “Why don’t we help him instead?”

From that moment, they launched a movement — one thoughtful bag at a time.

Today, they've distributed 12,000+ Miles To Go bags filled with essentials for people experiencing homelessness. But the real magic? The hand-signed card inside each bag reminds the recipient that they matter.

We talked about:
❤️ How a 4th-grade question sparked a nonprofit
🧼 Why socks, sunscreen, and toothpaste matter more than you think
🚐 Danielle’s dream to launch a "loud and random kindness bus" (and yes, she’s serious)

And hey — Miles To Go's biggest fundraiser of the year is coming up! Join the MTG5K (https://runsignup.com/Race/FL/Orlando/5KMilesToGo) on September 20, 2025, at Bill Frederick Turkey Lake Park.

🎥 Filmed at Foxtail Coffee on Plant Street in downtown Winter Garden — shoutout to this cozy community spot for being the heart of our conversations.

In this episode of Winter Garden Coffee + Collab, I sit down with Dr. Elyse Saltalamachia, Chiropractic Internist and Facility Director at Lakota Wellness, for a refreshingly honest (and often hilarious) conversation about pain, healing, and taking your health back into your own hands.

We talked about:
🌀 Why pain is often the last thing to show up, not the first
😴 How real healing starts when people finally sleep through the night
🧠 The misunderstood signals your body is screaming at you
🥤 Why hydration might be the missing link in your back pain
🧘‍♀️ The truth about posture, perimenopause, and deep breathing
🐾 And yes, what carrying lots of grocery bags at once says about your life choices 😆

Dr. Elyse’s approach to whole-body care is more than just chiropractic — it’s about helping people feel seen, heard, and empowered. She’s not here to mask your symptoms. She’s here to help you regain your health without pain and live fully pain-free.

📍 Filmed at Foxtail Coffee on Plant Street in Winter Garden, this episode of Winter Garden Coffee + Collab features Amy W. Edwards, former Chief Financial Officer turned Certified Image Consultant and Financial Coach, who helps professionals align their image with their impact.

Over coffee and a game of Jenga (yes, seriously), Amy shares:

• How a closet full of clothes and credit card debt led to a full-blown transformation
• What her favorite color magenta really means (it’s deeper than style)
• Her “style statement” framework that reconnects people with their purpose
• Why women so often lose their sense of identity—and how to get it back without a shopping spree

If confidence has felt out of reach lately, this conversation is the invitation to take it back, one bold outfit at a time.
