Season 3, Episode 1 - Detour Home, Part I - The Call to Residential Care

Houseparenting – who wants that job? Lets’ find out by talking to someone who wasn’t so sure at first, the President of St. Joseph’s Indian School. Today we talk with Mike Tyrell. Tyrell is the President of St. Joseph’s Indian School and author of the recently published “Detour Home,” whose name we steal for this series. The novel is a series of fictional stories sewn together to tell a more significant tale. It is loosely based on his experience as a young man who moved with his wife to St. Joseph’s Indian School to become a houseparent. Like the other two parts in this series, it explores the true meaning of the residential setting as a crucible for growth and relationship. Anyone with a connection to the school will listen and enjoy.
