Life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes the only way forward is by leaning on something greater than ourselves. In this episode of Let’s Talk Local, Sarah sits down with her son, Louis, to talk about Future Voices, the weekly column he founded and publishes every Sunday in The Dallas Express.

Louis writes candidly about what’s on his mind and how his faith helps him face life head-on. The conversation also introduces the column’s very first contributor, Cooper Kimosh. At just 14 years old, Cooper shares how prayer guides him through uncertainty and why faith plays such an important role in his life.

Together, they offer a powerful look at life, faith, and perspective through the eyes of the next generation.

Child advocate Jenna Quinn turned her childhood trauma into a nationwide mission to protect kids and educate the adults who care for them. What began with Jenna’s Law in Texas has now become federal law, transforming how America approaches child safety. She’s also created a path to healing for survivors through her ongoing advocacy and support work. Jenna is a true hero, and we’re honored to share her story on this episode of Let’s Talk Local.

Who says Thanksgiving has to mean turkey and dressing? This week, we’re shaking things up with a full-blown Texas-style feast. Think truffle mac and cheese, sweet corn pudding, bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños, and Dr Pepper ribs so tender they barely hang onto the bone.

And these ribs? They’re not just some recipe pulled off the internet. Award-winning cookoff champion Travis Bennett, yes, Sarah’s cousin-in-law, rolled up with his custom grill-on-a-trailer and shared some of his grill-master secrets for getting ribs just right.

If you love food as much as we do, you’re not going to want to miss this episode. This just might be the start to your new Thanksgiving tradition!
