048: Joe Winters: Pave the Path for Youth

048: Joe Winters: Pave the Path for Youth

Joe Winters founded Pave the Path on February 23, 2017. It all started in 2010 when Joe Winters Jr. met a man by the name of Bryan Levrets who is a Younglife leader. Younglife is a group of leaders going to where kids are, winning the right to be heard and sharing the gospel. That is exactly what Bryan did from the day that he walked into Joe's life. It was Bryan Levrets who introduced Joe Winters Jr. to life beyond the small community he grew up in with the word of God, club, missionary trips to camp in Colorado and more. Due to Joe losing his mother at a young age, in 2011 when Joe graduated high school because of his living conditions, he didn’t know how he would afford college, living, or transportation to college. In this critical moment of his life Bryan helped him with the steps, discipline, tools, and accountability to enroll in college and obtain a degree.
Pave the Path is a group of college students and community leaders who are adamant about being a resource for all kids and their future. Pave the Path was built on the foundation to help kids that come from limited resources excel in their daily lives by discussing important topics as well as being mentors and leaders that walk the walk.

041: Tonya Carter: Breakup to BreakThrough

Tonya Carter launched MsTonya Speaks LLC, in August of 2016. Her goal is to help divorced women & single mothers discover their breakthroughs by targeting what’s holding them back in their lives to create forward living for their lives. Being a single mother of two, Tonya realized that she allowed her circumstances to hold her back from discovering her true life’s purpose. Experiencing divorced, five job losses in four years, unhealthy relationships, financial hardships, health setbacks and balancing single motherhood really took its toll mentality, emotionally, & physically. But she decided to stop being the victim and become the victor of her life and she wants the same for other women. WHAT IS BREAKUP TO BREAKTHROUGH? Breakup to BreakThrough is about moving forward to the next chapter in your life after divorce or breakup. Many times when divorce takes place, we get stuck! We feel uncertain about who we are and have trouble getting back on the right track to find ourselves again. Divorce is a painful process that's not easy even if walking away was the best solution. The goal is for women to not just survive but thrive by healing and becoming their best selves in ALL areas of life.
