In the very first episode of Courageous Conversations, hosts Ray Jarrett and Gary Kendall pull back the curtain on the story of Unite KC and why this podcast exists. Born out of a desire for racial healing after the death of George Floyd, Unite KC has become a movement to love your neighbors at all costs and live into the vision of Uniting People, Uniting Neighborhoods, Uniting KC.

Ray and Gary share their personal journeys, the merger of Love KC and Unite KC, and how simple steps like "Do One Good Thing" and tools like the BLESS app are helping people build bridges across divides. With honesty, humor, and hope, they show how courageous conversations can transform hearts and cities.
