In Episode 7 of the Crossed Lines Podcast, we look ahead to the annual luncheon at First Baptist Madison on October 13 and the meaningful stories behind an event that has brought people together for years.

Kristi Horne, Madison County Realtor and longtime volunteer, reflects on nearly a decade of co-hosting the luncheon and the relationships, memories, and successful moments that have grown from it.

Kristi shares the heart and history behind the event, the impact of showing up for others, and why this year’s luncheon carries such special meaning.

In Episode 6 of Crossed Lines, Vicki DeMoney sits down with Steve Pickett, whose 30 years of public service have included law enforcement, work with the courts, and several years as chairman of the Mississippi Parole Board.

Throughout his career, Steve’s mission has remained centered on helping others, from protecting and serving his community to giving second chances to those who earned them while protecting the public from those who remained a threat.

Today, that commitment to service continues through his work in Vicksburg, where he helps support housing for veterans and other nonprofit programs.

Vicki and Steve discuss a lifetime of public service, leadership, second chances, and the importance of continuing to make a difference in the lives of others.
