ear. shoulder. voice. (ESV) was founded by Keith Litfin, Linda Hake, Brandon Ponke & Nicole Colley after some depression, loneliness and strife had befallen them. The goal was to give a place where you could relate to others and realize you are not alone. They were later joined by many others who related to their situations and had many of their own that they wished to contribute. Together, ESV has grown into a place where any person can discuss any topic no matter how deep or trivial.
We wanted a platform that was not a “Support Group”, “Counseling Session”, or “Psychiatric Evaluation”. We wanted something real. We won’t judge you, we are not professionals, and we do not want to come off that way. We will not tell you what to do, but more ask questions to inform ourselves and others how we/you may have dealt with those situations.
NOTE: We are not an avenue for immediate support. If you require immediate assistance or are dealing with severe situations that may put yourself or others at risk, please find a more highly trained and professional group for help.
New broadcasts air every Sunday & Wednesday live on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter & Twitch at 7:00pm EST. Sundays an Open Forum where we will discuss ANY topic you want to discuss as opposed to our Wednesday Topic shows.
All of our live roundtable broadcasts are raw and unscripted. They are recorded as real people, leading real lives, talking about real experiences. Nothing is filtered, no green screens are used, and conversation is presented off the cuff.
Any person can be a part of each topic by live engaging through chat on one of our video platforms: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter & Twitch with questions and opinions about our topic. As you engage us, we will respond to you in real time.
Engaging through chat is not the only way to be a part of our broadcast and organization. You can also be a panel member by sending a message to ESV on this site, on our Facebook page, through Facebook Messenger, or apply online here. Share a comment about topics you would like to see our roundtable talk about. We will have that topic with or without you on the panel so others can watch, relate and maybe learn a thing or two. You will always be free to comment during the shows.
If you wish to remain anonymous to our viewing audience, simply send a direct message to E.S.V., we will bring up your question or topic whilst still retaining your anonymity.
Want to vote on topics or suggest your own for our panel to discuss? Go to our Topic Poll and cast your vote. You can enter other topics not on the list as well.
We also support one on one support. They are not actual professional advice but someone to listen, empathize and share in your situation. As of now, this feature is limited, although we will try to engage any person who messages us.
