Part Two of Katie's conversation with Carmen Romero dives deeper into APAH's innovative partnerships with local churches to create affordable housing opportunities. Carmen shares details on their recently opened Central United Methodist Church project, co-locating 144 affordable homes with a new church facility, daycare center, and commercial kitchen. You'll hear the powerful story of how this church partnership extended beyond just the real estate transaction, providing critical support like rent relief for residents impacted by the pandemic. Carmen emphasizes the incredible mission alignment and community impact when affordable housing nonprofits collaborate with congregations. The discussion then turns to APAH's bold new strategic plan goals, including tripling their portfolio to 7,500 units within four years to meet the region's daunting affordable housing deficit. Carmen outlines their focus on scaling resident services, piloting programs to break cycles of poverty through savings matches and college funds, and advocating for policies addressing the true scope of need. You'll gain insight into APAH's priorities around being an "employer of choice" by supporting their team's mental health and compensation in this high-stress field. Throughout, Carmen shares her candid perspective on the urgency required and on innovating sustainable solutions as the affordable housing crisis deepens across the region. Tune in for this inspiring example of a nonprofit taking an expansive, holistic approach to the affordable housing challenge.

In this episode of the Means of Grace Podcast, Director of Missional Engagement, Brian Mateer, talks with Rev. Savannah Glover, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church in Concord to reflect on her recent trip to Armenia on the Young Clergy Pilgrimage. They talk about friendships formed on trips like this, the hospitality of the Project Agape Staff, and the impact the trip has on daily life in ministry. 

A conversation about outreach and sharing the Gospel and how we could do it better. We are passionate about evangelism here at the 1M Project. According the the Joshua Project, the United States has 15,178,000 people listed as being unreached.  This same website uses the following term to describe what ureached means according the them;  "An unreached or least-reached people is a people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize this people group without outside assistance. The original Joshua Project editorial committee selected the criteria less than or equal to 2% Evangelical Christian and less than or equal to 5% Professing Christians." Our ministry is based out of Muskegon, Michigan where more than 70% of our population report  being unchurched. Given this percentage, that means that there could be as many, if not more than, 123,000 people in our community who have not heard, or simply do not understand the Gospel.  On today's show we sit down and talk with, Pastor Rob Cook, from Central United Methodist Church. We talk about his own personal journey with faith, the methodist movement, and different forms of evangelism.  Our goal is to unite with our brothers and sisters to evangelize and disciple our community.  Let's Connect!

In this conversation with Reed Howard of the Millennial Action Project we discuss his experience as a millennial who identified as a Republican but then had to figure out how he could move forward in his party in the age of Trump; going to divinity school to study why evangelical voters were so drawn to Donald Trump; the perils of making politics one's religion; how elite level communications tell people how to think and feel about important issues like abortion, same sex marriage and even democracy itself; creating space to have cross-partisan conversations; what Reed really thinks of 3rd party efforts; his concern that if Republicans abandon the Republican Party, it will result in more illiberalism and more of a threat; how folks can get involved in campaigns and their political party; and methods of talking to persuadable voters about supporting candidates and issues they haven't supported in the past.
