Today, we're getting into the raw, unvarnished terrain of human longing - that aching space where despair meets unexpected grace. I'm excited to welcome back David Zahl on the podcast. He isn't here to offer another self-help platitude, but to explore something far more profound: how we find relief in a world that constantly demands more, faster, better. Imagine grace not as a churchy concept, but as a radical interruption - a surprising breath of fresh air in a culture suffocating on its own expectations. We'll talk about play, productivity, regret, and those moments when God whispers, "You are more than your achievements." This conversation is a map for the weary, a compass for those feeling crushed by life's relentless pressures. We'll explore how grace shows up in unexpected places - through music, through suffering, through the simple act of truly listening. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're perpetually running on an endless treadmill, this conversation is your permission to breathe. To rest. To receive. So join us as we figure out what it means to be human in a world that rarely slows down.David Zahl is the founder and director of Mockingbird Ministries, editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website (www.mbird.com), and co-host of both The Mockingcast and The Brothers Zahl podcasts. He and his family live in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church. Zahl is the author of Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It and Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself). His next book, The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World comes out in April 2025 from Brazos Press.

In this episode of the Valley Today, Janet shares more of the recent conversation with Andrea Cosans, the executive director at Winchester CCAP. The pair explored the types of donations that are most needed at local food pantries. Andrea emphasized that while traditionally only non-perishable items were accepted, these days, many food pantries have the capacity to store perishable items like dairy products, meats, and fresh produce, thanks to grants and improved refrigeration capabilities. Andrea mentioned that there is always a high demand for dairy items such as butter and eggs, which are rarely donated, especially in the winter. She also highlighted the challenges with obtaining produce and meat regularly. Although the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank supplies some staple items, there are periods when essential items like meat and cereal might be unavailable. Pantries now need more than just food donations. Items like laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and personal hygiene products are costly and always in demand. Andrea also noted the necessity of bottled water for clients who may not have access to potable water and to keep volunteers hydrated. Children's snacks, cheese, and even pet food were pointed out as beneficial donations. There's also a strong collaboration between nonprofits in the area, sharing resources and support, which is crucial for operational efficiency. Andrea explained that outdated or unusable clothing should be donated to hospice services for reclamation to avoid wastage. Andrea provided details about how to help and where to drop off donations at CCAP, including their website and hours of operation. Financial donations are also welcome to allow the pantry to purchase needed items directly. In the second segment, listeners were encouraged to support food pantries by donating or volunteering. A rundown of several food pantries in the Shenandoah Valley area was given, with information on their locations, operation hours, and specific needs, emphasizing that local food pantries require continuous community support, especially during the holiday season. This is by no means a complete list. You can access more resources on the United Way NSV website by clicking here. You can download their Community Resource Directory by clicking here.
