Millions of people today face dire medical and mental health challenges. What role should the church play in foreign humanitarian aid to address starvation and deadly illness? In this episode, Eric Ha, CEO of Medical Teams International, joins Mark Labberton for a sobering, hopeful conversation on global humanitarian crises and the role of the church in responding to both the physical and spiritual needs of those who are suffering. Drawing from his years at International Justice Mission and now at Medical Teams International, Ha shares vivid accounts from refugee camps in East Africa and migrant communities in Colombia. He reflects on the collapse of US foreign aid, the limits of humanitarian response, and the urgent need for churches to reclaim their historic role in caring for the vulnerable. Ha wrestles candidly with the calling of Christian communities to embody God's expansive love even amid staggering need. Episode Highlights “These humans that bear the image of the divine and the eternal, and the holy and the sacred.” “Last year, Medical Teams staff helped deliver fifty thousand babies—that's a delivery every ten minutes, somewhere around the world in these extraordinarily harsh settings.” “Finding the thread and kernel of hope is actually a lot more challenging.” “For thousands of years prior to the UN, the infrastructure and ecosystem for the care of refugees was the church. It was God's people.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation.… It is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need, and to see the presence of God.” Helpful Links and Resources Medical Teams International International Justice Mission UNHCR: The UN Refugee Agency PEPFAR—The US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Clinton Global Initiative About Eric Ha Eric Ha is the chief executive officer of Medical Teams International, a Christian humanitarian relief organization providing life-saving medical care for people in crisis worldwide. Before joining Medical Teams, he served more than a decade in senior leadership roles at International Justice Mission, advancing global efforts to combat human trafficking and slavery. A lawyer by training, Ha brings a deep commitment to justice, compassion, and the mobilization of the church in service of the vulnerable. Show Notes Global Humanitarian Crises and Refugee Care Eric Ha shares his journey from law and IJM to leading Medical Teams International Medical Teams founded in response to Cambodia's killing fields, continuing nearly 50 years of healthcare missions Primary healthcare for refugees: maternal care, vaccinations, mosquito nets, antimalarials, antidiarrheals, and mental health Serving 9 million people in East Africa, including Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Sudan Refugee camps lack electricity, clean water, and adequate shelter—average displacement nearly 20 years Medical Teams delivers maternal care that dramatically reduces mortality, helping deliver 50,000 babies last year Healthcare and Human Dignity The crisis is not statistics—it's humans bearing God's image, glimpses of laughter, joy, and resilience Colombia: working with Venezuelan migrants amid drastic cuts in U.S. aid (down to 10% of prior levels) Withdrawal of foreign aid leaves communities devastated and forces NGOs to scale back Transition from justice work at IJM to medical humanitarian work brings both immediacy of impact and insufficiency of resources Hope and Despair in Humanitarian Work Theories of change at IJM allowed for hope in systemic reform; displacement crises feel harder to solve Challenge of holding onto hope in the face of preventable death and suffering Churches historically provided refugee care before the UN; today, withdrawal of aid exposes the need for church re-engagement Need to reimagine church-government partnerships in humanitarian response Empathy, Collaboration, and Mental Health Empathy as essential orientation in humanitarian work, easily lost without intentionality Competitiveness and survivalism among NGOs risks eclipsing empathy Mental health needs are massive: trauma among children in refugee camps threatens future stability Clinton Global Initiative highlights Medical Teams' commitment to expand mental health care for children in Sudan Training local health workers and communities to recognize trauma and create safe spaces for children Invitation to the Church and Listeners The gospel calls us outward, not inward—expanding our experience of God's vastness through engagement with suffering Churches must discern how to integrate humanitarian concerns without distraction, embracing their historic role in refugee care Prayer requests: for hope, for patience to wait on the Lord, and for wisdom in making hard decisions “We are invited into a different orientation—the empathy piece is so critical because it is the thing that allows us to engage.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/despairWhy do “real sinners” like us so rarely experience real change? Could self-confidence be blinding you to your need? What if the doorway to joy actually runs through despair—seeing yourself as God sees you, then collapsing into mercy? In this powerful message, Pastor Jackson walks us through Deceived → Despairing → Delight without getting stuck in shame. He'll walk us through how Paul's journey—from “I persecuted the church” to “I'm the foremost of sinners”—teaches us about humble joy and lasting transformation. Grab your Bible, grab a pen, and lets dive in!

While all suffering is painful, some suffering seems worse than others. We particularly struggle with suffering that lasts a long time, and can even extend to years. This type of long suffering can sometimes cause discouragement, depression, and may even lead us into the sin of despair.

The chaos of the world can lead us to feel hopeless or disconnected from our purpose. Today I want to share some tools and spiritual practices that I use to help move me through hopelessness and despair.   Right now, many of us are experiencing being cut off from the love and energy of the Earth. It feels as if there's a layer of debris cutting us off from our natural grounding and nourishment. This disconnection feeds despair, but it doesn't define who you are.

Julia is joined by genius mind P.E. Moskowitz for a conversation about their new memoir Breaking Awake, which chronicles the mental breakdown that drove them to experiment with drugs, reckon with trauma, and draw meaning from suffering. From Klonopin and SSRIs to ketamine and LSD, they consider what our reliance on substances reveals about our modern world. Are drugs soothing us, transforming us, or just reflecting our pain? Digressions include P.E.'s commandment to “go out and get weird with it,” the dark headspace where internet mantras start to feel profound, and the unfortunate but honest truth that the only way out is through. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and edited by Livi Burdette.  Check out P.E.'s book Breaking Awake: A Reporter's Search for a New Life, and a New World, Through Drugs and their Substack Mental Hellth.

What a gut-punch of a game— the Packers dominated defensively but imploded offensively in a shocking loss to the Browns, turning undefeated dreams into a frustrating reality. Host Ryan Schlipp vents his raw emotions, from stages of grief to questioning coaching decisions, while dissecting how penalties, injuries, and a brutal interception handed away a winnable matchup. Despite the misery, there's hope in the defense's shutdown performance and upcoming reinforcements. Unpacking the offensive disaster: Jordan Love's inexplicable pick, endless penalties (including Jordan Morgan's three alone), and a line ravaged by injuries like Zach Tom's re-aggravated oblique. Defensive bright spots: Xavier McKinney's interception, Rashan Gary's two sacks, and holding the Browns to minimal output despite Flacco's pressure heroics. Caller reactions and historical parallels: Fans weigh in on the self-sabotage, comparing it to past Packers rollercoasters under Rodgers. Teasing the rebound: Optimism for beating Dallas, getting Watson and Reed back, and navigating a tight NFC North race. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Join Sandra for a deeply moving and hopeful conversation with Dolores Cruz, a certified grief specialist, author, and dedicated leader with the wonderful organization Helping Parents Heal. Dolores's journey began after the sudden, shattering loss of her 24-year-old son, Eric, in a car accident. Raised with a belief in the afterlife but never having experienced a direct connection, she immediately began speaking to her son, asking for a sign and a hug when she needed it most. In this episode, Dolores shares the beautiful and undeniable signs that Eric immediately began sending to prove he was still right by her side. Hear the incredible stories of how he appeared in a dream to his cousin, sent a meaningful message through a stranger's dog named "Cruz," and orchestrated a hug from a young man who looked just like him outside a grocery store. Dolores also describes the moment she saw Eric, clear as day, in her peripheral vision at a party, a phenomenon many grieving people experience. Discover the powerful message behind her book's title, "Look Around"—a phrase Eric used to say that has become a sacred practice for being in the present moment, where the divine and our loved ones can be found. Dolores offers profound wisdom on navigating the brutal pain of grief, the importance of community, and how honoring our loved ones through service, like the music scholarship she founded for Eric, can transform our deepest despair into a life of renewed purpose and hope.

While often being considered the leading nation in the world, the United States increasingly finds itself on the cutting edge of cultural upheaval, political polarization and increasing violence that includes mass shootings and politically motivated killings. The recent tragedy of a political activist being shot and killed by a radicalized young man, while appearing distinct in the sense of being a political assassination, can also be seen as part of the larger tragedy of young men acting out cultural violence.     Whether we like it or not, young people tend to manifest, express and even act out the psychological and emotional symptoms of the culture in which they must grow. In particular, if young men are not fully invited into social life and given a genuine sense of meaning and purpose, something volatile and potentially destructive inside them can drift towards the darker areas of the psyche and in the modern world, can pull them into the darkest parts of the world wide web.     While specific causes and motivations for shootings by young men are complex, there are familiar patterns to the trajectory that leads to acting out violently. Research indicates that there is often a strong sense of grievance that comes from a disconnect between the lives they actually lead and the lives they think they should have. This inner disconnect can lead to fantasies of having unlimited power along with intense desires for recognition and admiration. Aided by the extremes of social media, their sense of grievance and their violent visions take up more and more of their mental and emotional lives.     While modern societies lack clarity, understanding and wisdom when it comes to issues of men and violence, traditional cultures developed rites of passage in order to directly engage and temper the wild energies of youth and the reckless urge to battle with both life and death. For, there is an inner volatility that cannot be denied or be ignored without consequences that can turn inward as depression and self-harm or erupt outwardly in violence and destruction aimed at the society that failed to recognize, accept and include them.     It seems to me that in this group, we also have to include those who appear to be grown men, but who demonstrate untempered emotions, reckless immature attitudes about violence that contribute to the tearing apart of society. In many ways, we are all in the midst of a collective rite of passage that requires that we awaken to the deeper issues that can turn a society against itself, while leaving young people in growing gaps of isolation, alienation and despair.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.
