Painting Hope in Green Bay

Painting Hope in Green Bay

HOWARD-SUAMICO, Wis.– Students in the Howard-Suamico school district listened to a powerful message through a live art performance.

Painting Hope is a program designed to help stop bullying while building personal empowerment. Artist Eric Samuel Timm, a Wisconsin native, uses his words and the canvas to inspire young people.

“Growing up in Wisconsin was probably one of the best things that has happened to me it shaped my life in a very profound way. a lot has changed since then. But pain and hope and students have to chose which force they want in their lives,” Timm explained.

Words can be used as weapons or to make lives better. Timm travels the nation delivering that message.

Listen to our interview with Dan Herod of Youth Alive talk about these school assemblies. You can find more info on Painting Hope and Youth Alive in Wisconsin here and here.

#051: Some Things Don’t Change

Life is so full of temporary things. That’s why when we hope in things that are of this world, the hope only lasts for a short time. As we watch the news and see things like ISIS and other man-hating groups out there, it can be easy to give up hope. Tonight on the show, Jeff, DW, Jason and Terra Kay discuss how we can have an unending hope.
