We're visiting with Teddy Feldmann, the Community Outreach Coordinator, at CityTeam in Oakland, CA. Teddy has been telling us about the services and programs they offer to those in need on the streets, and how they change lives, as he was helped, as well!

Janet Michael welcomes listeners to another episode of The Valley Today, featuring Christa Shifflett and Celeste Brooks from the Warren Coalition. They discuss the upcoming Warren County Unplugged event, which encourages the community to put away their phones and engage in various activities to improve mental health and social well-being. Christa, the Executive Director, and Celeste, the Community Outreach Coordinator, share insights about the Global Day of Unplugging, for which Warren Coalition was recognized as an unplugged village. The event's goal is to help individuals, particularly youth, reduce screen time and its negative impacts, such as depression and anxiety. This year's event includes various activities, starting with a Youth Unplugged Party (YUP) on the evening of March 7th at the 15th Street Gym. YUP features a range of enjoyable tasks, from cornhole and volleyball tournaments to arts and crafts and interactive games. Celeste emphasizes the importance of offering fun ways for kids to connect offline, noting that excessive screen time has led to detrimental effects on teenagers' social skills and sleep patterns. Janet, Krista, and Celeste discuss the broader implications of screen dependency, including its impact on workforce readiness. Celeste explains that many young adults lack basic social skills as they enter professional environments due to their reliance on phones. During the event on March 7th and 8th, multiple community organizations and local businesses will participate by hosting unplugged-friendly activities, providing discounts, and offering prizes. Activities range from free pizza and popcorn to backyard games, foam archery, and resilience bingo. Celeste also highlights the Hyper Bowl party at the local bowling alley and several unplugged activities on March 8th, like an art exhibit at Samuel's Library, nature expeditions at Shenandoah River State Park, and scavenger hunts at the 4-H Center. The trio emphasizes the importance of creating awareness about phone usage and how it affects daily life, encouraging families to engage in screen-free activities. Celeste provides details on how to participate and win prizes by simply letting the Warren Coalition know they are unplugging for the event. Christa and Celeste further share details about the ongoing Edward Jones 5K, a town hall meeting on underage drinking, and other educational initiatives by the Warren Coalition aimed at improving community well-being. Listeners are encouraged to visit warrencoalition.org for a complete schedule of events and to support the sponsors and local businesses that make Warren County Unplugged possible.

Aizaz Gill, candidate in the GOP Primary in the 172nd District joins Dawn LIVE! GILL JOINS DAWN TO SHARE PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT HE WOULD OFFER VOTERS IN THE 172ND DISTRICT... WHAT ARE CITIZENS IN THIS REGION CONCERNED MOST ABOUT? ESPECIALLY FOLLOWING THE TRAGIC SEPTA SHOOTING THAT MADE NATIONAL HEADLINES....  PER HIS WEBSITE -Aizaz Joseph Gill's life has revolved around the core value of service to America, our communities, and our people - something instilled in him throughout his upbringing in Northeast Philadelphia after his parents immigrated to Pennsylvania from South Asia when he was nine years old. Whether at St. Cecilia, Father Judge High School, or Chestnut Hill College, where he earned his bachelor's degree, Aizaz was schooled in the value of helping others - and chose to follow that path in his professional life upon graduation from college. Gill spent years working for City Commissioner Al Schmidt (now Pennsylvania's Secretary of the Commonwealth) as a Community Outreach Coordinator where he spearheaded outreach efforts to educate voters on the use of a new voting system in Philadelphia, battled misinformation as a frontline election worker, and strategically engaged community, local, state and federal institutions to collaborate on voter outreach and education. He was the first multilingual Asian-American hire for the Philadelphia City Commissioners, helping usher in more language accessibility Gill previously served as the Pennsylvania Policy Director for Business for America, a corporate alliance dedicated to strengthening democracy and facilitating a healthy business climate to foster job creation for American families. In that role, Gill's focus was to build coalitions with business leaders to expand a multifaceted education and advocacy campaign centered around developing civic engagement, increasing political stability and reducing polarization. Most recently, Gill served as manager for Philadelphia City Councilman Brian O'Neill's re-election campaign, helping develop the strategy and infrastructure that led to the incumbent's landslide victory this past November. Gill's work helping our families extends beyond the professional.  Along with giving time and energy to local charities, he currently serves as president of the Burholme Townwatch and Civic Association. Tune in weekdays 10 AM - 12 PM EST on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT; or on the Audacy app!

Our conversation today welcomes back Robyn Miller, Executive Director for WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter) and her Community Outreach Coordinator, Cindee Steele to talk about their Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk happening on Saturday, February 24, 2024. The Coldest Night of the Year is a family-friendly walk in support of people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. This is WATTS' second year hosting the event for Winchester to benefit their guests and bring awareness to their experiences. Their goal is to reach 700 walkers. The pair provide an overview of WATTS and its low-barrier shelter operations, as well as the day program they offer. Cindee emphasizes the importance of the event as a fundraiser for the shelter's services and explains participation options and logistics of the event. Robyn tells us about the speakers while Cindee gives the various ways to support the shelter, such as donating or volunteering. We also highlight the need for affordable housing and the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. Robyn & Cindee encourage listeners to participate in the event and show support for the cause. Register a team or walk as an individual, make a donation to an existing team, or sign up to volunteer here: https://cnoy.com/location/winchester  Learn more about WATTS on their website: https://watts-homelessshelter.org/  WATTS mission is to break the cycle of homelessness one life at a time. They empower individuals to re-enter the workforce and connect individuals to the resources needed to be as self-sufficient as possible while providing a safe, temporary shelter during extreme weather. In 2009, a group of faith-based leaders recognized there was a population of homeless adults who did not qualify for admission to other local shelter programs. Realizing these folks would be sleeping outside during the coldest weeks of winter and seeing a solution with their warm church buildings which were empty at night, WATTS was born. Since that time, WATTS has grown and expanded to meet the needs of homeless individuals in our area. Today, they provide 21 weeks of overnight shelter from November to March, along with a daytime Warming Center in the winter, and a daytime Cooling Center in the summer. They've also added a Transition Out of Homelessness Program, with staff members who work year-round to assist guests in ending their homelessness.

In this episode, you'll also hear:Ann's definition of emotional intelligence, and why she says everything Jesus taught leads us to itWhy Ann says a believer's born-again process follows the classic Hero's JourneyQuestions to help shape your identity after God's purposes instead of after what the world says you should beWhy Ann says losing a month's worth of edits on her first book was an “act of God”The problem with jumping into Christian leadership too quicklyAnn's advice for the aspiring author who struggles to find the confidence to finishEmotional Intelligence for ChristiansAnn Lenaers packs a ton of valuable information into her first book, Perfect Love: A Hero's Journey, but two words stand out from the rest: emotional intelligence. Or, as she puts it, “a smart heart.” Ann explains that throughout the Old Testament, the Israelites are described as having hardened hearts. As a result, God communicated with them through rigid rules and structure. But when Jesus came, He taught discipleship that focuses on what's happening inside of our hearts instead of outward actions alone. “In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus took it out of your head and put it in your heart,” Ann says. “It's not ‘an eye for an eye,' it's ‘turn the other cheek,' because there's more to it.” In other words, to have emotionally intelligent “smart hearts,” we must “know the word in our heads and teach it to our hearts.” While the work of the Holy Spirit is essential to the process of growing in Christ, Ann believes the church has an important role to play in discipling new Christians so they can learn to let Christ reign over their hearts and live emotionally intelligent lives. Faith & the Hero's JourneyAlthough Ann grew up in the church, there was a time when she temporarily walked away from Christianity. “I got to this point where I knew I needed something in the spiritual understanding of my life,” she recalls, “and I'd grown up feeling like the church didn't give me answers. So I started looking everywhere else.”After getting involved with the New Age movement for a few years, however, Ann found her beliefs being challenged to the point that she realized she needed to know who Jesus was. So she cried out to God, and after fasting for three days, she encountered the glory of God. Ann compares her experience to the biblical accounts of Paul's experience on the road to Damascus and the transfiguration of Jesus: “It was just this brief moment standing in the light and presence of God… There are not enough words in eternity to try and explain it. But I tell people that the feeling it gave me was like if I could shove my hand in my chest and rip my heart out, I'd be looking at what love is. Because that's how it made me feel.”That was the beginning of Ann's born-again journey, and she says it really was like starting life over. As God guided her in growing spiritually, He also guided her in writing Perfect Love to share her journey with others. In the book, Ann also compares the journey of being born again to the classic “Hero's Journey” structure found in many works of fiction. “It's not like God was trying to give us this list of hundreds and hundreds of rules we had to follow,” she explains. “He was trying to help our minds be pointed in the direction of love, which is Him.”Although Ann admits that writing this book was an ambitious undertaking, she also says that once God had placed the idea in her heart, there was no way she could keep it to herself — she had to share the fullness of God's amazing love with everyone, however she could. Four Identity QuestionsA huge part of Ann's born-again journey was reshaping her identity to build on her new foundation of faith. To find this identity, she says it's crucial to understand the importance of our relationship with God, others around us, and even ourselves — and to understand who we are in relation to all three.So in Perfect Love, Ann asks readers to answer four key questions:Who am I to myself?Who am I to others?Who am I to God?What needs to change about my answers?That last question is especially important, because we as humans are always going to make mistakes and have lessons to learn. “What I thought I was is not the same as what I actually am,” Ann says. The more we learn to conform to the image of Christ — and to shape our identities according to who He made us to be — the more assuredly we'll be able to stand on the foundation of our faith. A Month of Editing… LostEven after deciding to write her book, Ann wrestled with doubts about whether she was qualified or if anyone would listen to what she had to say. But when she finally surrendered to God's calling and started to write, the words poured out of her.“Once you know that God has called you into something, once you're ready to start, there's nothing that can stop the floodgates from opening up,” she says now. In a matter of months, Ann wrote the entire first draft of Perfect Love. But after she had spent a month editing — and changing parts of it that she now realizes she shouldn't have changed — her laptop crashed. Ann lost all of her edits. But in losing that work, she learned that she had been heading in the wrong direction.Ann returned to her first draft, but this time the only edits she made were to improve the grammar and structure of the writing itself, not to alter the content. “I think losing the edits was an act of God,” she says in retrospect. “Making the edits was Satan messing with my head.” Ann's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes what we think is the work of the enemy is actually God redirecting us to follow His original design. That's why it's so important that we partner with the Holy Spirit, so He can guide us and keep us from straying too far from His plan. Trust & ConfidenceAnn's journey certainly has not been an easy one. And chances are, yours hasn't been easy, either. No matter where you are on that journey — whether you're just starting out, working on putting the message God has given you into the right words, overthinking how to edit your book, or unsure if what you've written is good enough — you're not alone. Ann advises starting by finding and solidifying your identity in Christ, and everything else will follow as you learn to stand on your faith. “If you're standing on a solid relationship with God, there's nothing you can do that would be really wrong,” she explains. “Either it will be exactly what He's guided to you, or He will correct you if you're on the wrong path, and He can use it for your good because He called you.”Ann defines faith as a combination of trust and confidence. When your trust and confidence are 100% rooted in God, you'll be able to follow where He leads and to fulfill the purpose He has placed in your life. Stay close to Him, listen for His guidance and correction, and He'll show you the way.  BIO:Ann Lenaers is first and foremost a loving mother to Ava and a guardian to Hazel who likes to call her fairy godmother.

The LGBTQ+ population is three times more likely to engage in survival sex when compared to their cisgender and heterosexual peers, yet these cases go highly unreported. (Loyola University) We invited Melinda Sampson, Community Outreach Coordinator for NC Stop Human Trafficking to shine light on some the root causes as to why this population is disproportionately affected, and to discuss the need for a big picture shift to help support all marginalized populations. She also shares the importance of addressing demand and how showing "simple but not simple acts" of kindness and making human connections goes a long way in helping victims find the help that can change their life trajectory.

Today, we return to once again to the state of Alabama to speak with Stacey Fuller and Kathleen Henderson. If you will recall, Stacey joined Hunter in his conversation with Leah Nelson to discuss the fines and fees that keep Alabamans from accessing a meaningful second chance. At the end of that episode, Stacey mentioned the Felony ID card the state required her always have on her. That conversation plays directly into this one as we examine the other onerous conditions the state of Alabama places on those returning from incarceration. Join Hunter, Kathleen, and Stacey as we wade through the minefield that the formerly incarcerated must navigate to avoid returning to jail.   Guests: Stacey Fuller, Community Outreach Coordinator, Tennessee Kathleen Henderson, Re-Entry Case Manager, Alabama Apple Seed   Resources: Alabama Appleseed https://alabamaappleseed.org/ Alabama Driver's License Bill https://www.al.com/news/2023/05/lawmakers-pass-bill-to-limit-drivers-license-suspensions-for-unpaid-fees.html Alabama Prison Funding https://alabamareflector.com/2023/05/02/alabama-crime-victims-compensation-commission-gets-less-than-it-sought-in-general-fund/ https://www.al.com/news/2023/03/alabama-governor-wants-100-million-of-school-funds-for-prison-construction.html https://www.al.com/news/2023/03/alabamas-billion-dollar-no-bid-prison-disaster-is-only-the-beginning.html   Alabama Trial Penalty https://www.al.com/news/2023/04/whitmire-alabama-lawmakers-trial-tax-bill-will-cost-us.html Alabama Inmate Frozen to Death https://www.cbs42.com/regional/after-release-of-video-lawsuit-claims-alabama-man-froze-to-death-in-police-custody-was-likely-placed-in-jail-freezer/   Contact Hunter Parnell: Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN  

Blue Ridge School graduate, Retired Sergeant in the U.S. Army, stay-at-home dad turned Community Outreach Coordinator and Student Recruiter for the University of Illinois Chez Veterans Center tells his story of a post-September 11th war with humor and zero regrets. Listen as Garrett talks about 130-degree days in full body armor, marrying his now wife of 17-plus-years on a whim just days before deployment, trying to build relationships with Iraqis while never knowing a good guy from a bad guy with an AK-47 and how it wasn't uncommon for women and children to literally become human bombs in the name of their religion. In a few months Garrett would see and experience more pain than most will see in a lifetime, yet he lives with no regrets. He lights up when he talks about coaching at area schools, his daughters and his wife, local attorney, Sami. He tears up when he talks about a fellow soldier and friend who could never recover from the injuries that Garrett sustained in an ambush—a severely broken jaw and a lost arm. His friend, Sonny, blamed himself to the point of no return. Through all this pain and remembrance, he still maintains a positive disposition as he recounts the way he always has to face the door at a restaurant in an effort to maintain vigilance. As Memorial Day approaches, think of Garrett and all other soldiers who fought for our freedoms—some returned forever changed and some never returned. Across the Counter Across the Counter exists to create space for real people to have honest...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyI'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Michelle's Bridal & Tuxedo in Urbana.
