• In Memory of Pastor Frankie
    2026/04/20

    In this Episode of Straight Talk, No B.S. with Matthew’s Hope, presented by Imagine Marketing we are honoring Pastor Frankie Gallo who passed away in March of this year. Pastor Frankie had been a fixture around Matthew’s Hope for years even while battling illness and he never missed an opportunity to remind all that they were loved.

    We revisit a conversation from Episode 21 featuring Pastor Scott, Shelley and Pastor Frankie. They cover how they met, how they have grown, their triumphs and their heartbreak from roughly a dozen years of friendship and working together to care for those in our communities that are experiencing homelessness.

    Each week, Pastor Scott, Shelley and guests share their experiences from operating a homeless outreach in Florida's Orange and Brevard Counties to raise awareness and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the homeless crisis in America today.
