In this episode of Unlocked, Savannah sits down with Shelby Houston Brown for a conversation that is heartbreaking, powerful, and ultimately filled with hope. Shelby lost her dad, Officer Richard Houston, in the line of duty when she was just 18 years old. At his funeral, she made the decision to publicly forgive the man who killed him, a moment that would go on to impact millions of people. Shelby opens up about the night she found out her dad was gone, the faith he passed down to her, and what it actually looked like to choose forgiveness in the middle of unimaginable grief. She talks honestly about the days when she questioned whether that forgiveness was worth it, the daily decision it has become, and why forgiveness isn't about pretending something didn't happen or waiting for an apology. Savannah and Shelby also talk about the prison ministry that grew out of her story, her experiences meeting incarcerated men and women, and the incredible moments that have reminded her why she feels called to this work. Shelby shares one especially unforgettable story from a women's prison involving a woman who spoke a powerful word over her future daughter.

This is a conversation about grief, faith, forgiveness, and finding purpose in the middle of pain.

On this episode of Unlocked, Savannah Chrisley sits down with former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom for a conversation that goes way beyond basketball. Enes shares what it was like growing up in Turkey, leaving home at just 17 years old to pursue his dream in America, and the experiences that completely changed the way he sees the world. From hilarious stories about adjusting to American culture to being the first biological male to declare for the WNBA draft, Enes has a story unlike anything you've heard before. But what really stands out is what Enes was willing to sacrifice for his beliefs. He opens up about speaking out against the Turkish government, criticizing China and Nike, and ultimately walking away from millions of dollars because he refused to stay silent. He also shares the heartbreaking reality of being separated from his family for nearly 14 years, the threats he’s faced, and what becoming an American citizen meant to him after everything he’s been through. We also get into some wild stories from his 11 seasons in the NBA, his experience getting kicked out of a WNBA game, and why he believes standing up for what you believe in should matter more than money, politics, or public opinion. This conversation is a reminder that sometimes doing what you believe is right comes with a price.
