"B Inspired" with Pastor Bob Aids Charles Haddad in Passing the Torch

by Jane Stahl

Several days before he passed, Charles Haddad called to say he was willing to record a "B Inspired" podcast with me and Pastor Bob Machamer.

And so, shortly after Charles' Celebration of Life, In a wide-ranging conversation, Bob Machamer, pastor serving Charles' beloved St. John's Lutheran Church in Boyertown, shares his understanding of Charles' as community leader, role model, and personal friend.

Pastor Bob illuminates Charles' vision of the community's future, his earnest hopes that young leaders would emerge to further the mission he had spent his life supporting: nothing less than the unconditional acceptance of all members of the community working together to improve its infrastructure, maintain quality education, and strengthen its support of the arts, history, and cultural opportunities.

Too much to say in 30+ minutes, we'll catch up with Pastor Bob on his own sometime soon.

"B Inspired" can be found on your favorite podcast platform including Spotify, Google, Castbox, Breaker, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and RadioPublic, and Apple.
