Ep 4. In this uplifting podcast episode, Jeff celebrates the powerful creative partnership his team at Scott Allen Creative had with Mary Buikema, former Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Kent County. From the deeply moving “I See a Castle” campaign, inspired by the words of a young girl seeing her Habitat home for the first time, to the transformative “Building Blocks” campaign, this episode highlights the impact these various projects had throughout their beautiful partnership. Other projects shared in this episode include branding for the ReStore retail outlets, radio ads, volunteer campaigns like “Brush with Kindness,” and creative, story-driven marketing materials that empowered Habitat for Humanity to connect with donors and the community on a deeper level.

Mary’s vision and willingness to speak from the heart, combined with Scott Allen Creative’s thoughtful, value-driven creativity, sparked a multi-year partnership that helped Habitat for Humanity gain the recognition it needed and deserved to help expand its mission of transforming lives and neighborhoods.

Ep 3. In this episode, Jeff shares the powerful story of Rev. Dr. Judy, who answered God’s calling to leave a life of wealth and comfort to serve the vulnerable in the Kibera slums. What began as a small act of compassion for four women in need, has now blossomed into Home Care Spiritual Fellowship, a ministry serving thousands through education, job training, and Bible Clubs.

Jeff also shares the story of Samuel, a young man born with a disability and raised in poverty, who became the first in his family to graduate from high school through child sponsorship.

Through stories of women learning dressmaking skills and children being fed and taught through Bible Clubs, Jeff reflects on how God is using these ministries to bring hope and healing.

Additionally, Jeff shares the awe-inspiring moments of his safari, which helped him reconnect with the wonder and joy of God's magnificent creation.

✨ Highlights:

• Dr. Judy’s faith-filled leadership and resilience
• The ripple effect of Bible Clubs and job training ministries
• The reminder of God’s beauty in both creation and people
