Why hope? Because we have no other choice. A few years ago, Amber Haines entered a season of pain and despair when she resigned from her role as church curate and walked out those doors for the last time. Since then, she and Seth have been learning that hope requires a recognition of the deep-down things.

We talk a lot about The Salvation Army's fight against hunger, homelessness, against poverty. You might remember back to our series on the Pathway of Hope, episodes 88-93. In that series, we explored in depth The Salvation Army's initiative to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability for families—the effort to meet immediate needs and have a lasting, intergenerational impact by addressing the root causes of poverty and helping a family find a new path. So what does it look like in action? Today, I'm sharing the story of Ruth and her family. When Ruth left an abusive relationship, she found herself the single mother of six children, and she was struggling. Then, she met The Salvation Army and finally found hope. Listen in to hear Ruth and her family tell their story. We originally told this story in video so you can also watch it. Just head to the show notes for today's show. EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  Read more.

Have you wondered how a humble pipe cleaner could be a helpful tool when working towards inclusion in your church services? Or have you ever felt concerned for people in your own community who couldn't afford necessary therapies for their children? Our guest today has a solution! Dr Naomi Graham shares her passion for providing professional therapy and help through her charity, Growing Hope. You might be surprised to hear where the clinics are always set up. Maybe you'll even feel the nudge to get involved in one yourself? In this edition to coincide with World Mental Health Day, Naomi encourages us to think outside of the usual box of Sunday school toys and tells us about how we can improve our welcoming skills when considering children who have additional needs; she shares about a powerful, free, and easily accessible tool that Naomi and all her therapists use when spending time with their clients; and we discuss how this tool is something we can all use with our friends and family as we share our Christian faith in our everyday lives. Whether you have specific skills in therapies for people with additional needs or not, make sure you listen to find out how we can help encourage and love families of children with additional needs, in the name of Jesus. Learn how you can make a difference for people in your own community as we learn how to reveal God through some very ordinary questions. Presented by Sharon Tedford. Produced by Gary Dell.

Dr Naomi Graham is the founder and CEO of the Christian charity Growing Hope - providing free therapy for children with additional needs, and support for their families. She believes that churches are ideally placed to become truly inclusive and accessible places for everyone, and can help to meet the shortfall in mental health provision, which means children, young people and their families have to wait too long for the help they need. Find out more as we talk with her on the programme this week. Her website is https://growing hope.org.uk And Rev'd Richard Littledale returns, with another in the series 'What happened next?"

We were so honoured this week to chat with Dr Naomi Graham, occupational therapist and founder of Growing Hope, a charity which offers free therapy to children with additional needs, as well as support to their families, all through the local church. We all seek parental love, comfort and protection - but sometimes there are challenges to experiencing that. Naomi chats about these challenges, as well as the huge lessons to be learnt from our children about how we relate to God and seek his love too. Like all our episodes this season, today's conversation is loosely based around a chapter from Anna's insightful new book, Being God's Child.

Welcome to our chat from the screen porch about garden and nature stories that help heal and grow our lives.In this episode, we chat about The Book of Hope by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams. Essentially the inspirational book is a dialog with Jane Goodall about her reasons for hope despite the world's increasing troubles. The subtitle— A Survival Guide for Trying Times, but merely surviving seems sad. I like to think of it as A Guide to Growing Hope instead.Most known for her study of chimpanzees and her mission to protect them by protecting their habitats, Goodall's words will assure you that we still have time to save the natural world and improve the environment. She explains that each of us can make a difference by taking action. And by doing so, you'll inspire others to do the same.Link to the related column - Growing Hope-The Book of HopeLink to Jane Goodall Institute https://janegoodall.org/and Roots and Shoots https://www.rootsandshoots.org/ I look forward to sharing more stories that come from you, kind listeners.

Rev. Tom continues looking at the measures of success for Christians that are written in God's word. This week, what does it mean to have hope - and how do we get more of it? Do you know the promises of God that will help you through a rough time in your life?

After years of traveling up and down the west coast (Oceanside, CA to Port Angeles, WA and back) on surfing and skateboarding adventures since 2004 and visiting farms along the way, Luke Girling got the bug to learn about organic farming. Eventually Luke had the opportunity to attend UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems. After he graduated, he had a vision to come back to his hometown in Oceanside and create a farm. Cyclops Farms was born in Oceanside California in 2014 by The Girlings (Luke, Frances, Josie and Falcon). They operated in Oceanside until 2020 and after the Girling’s were able to purchase their own farm land in Fallbrook, and the farm was transferred there. They specialize in growing lots of cut flowers, strawberries and mixed vegetables. They are a family run 4 acre operation.

SHOW NOTES Today's episode is really special for two reasons.  First, it has the potential to be very impactful on the FFA.  Second, 80% of the world's hungry people are farmers.  But, unlike U.S. farmers, they are subsistence based and less sophisticated.  But programs like Growing Hope Globally are taking farming expertise and productivity from the U.S. and exporting it to these struggling farmers. On today's episode Alex Morse will join us to explain what Growing Hope Globally's mission is.  He will talk about helping farmers in many poor countries throughout the world and how you can get involved.  He will also discuss how his organization developed a curriculum for FFA students to help they contribute to worldwide agriculture through their supervised agricultural experiences. Alex specializes in helping farmers in Central America, and he has traveled to small holder's farms all throughout that region.  He has even taken FFA students with him to see who they were impacting with their efforts.  He has some amazing stories to share, and he describes people trying to farm in conditions that no American farmer would ever consider.

In the last 50 years, Canada's food system has come to be all about efficiency, quantity, and economy - not health, employment, environment, and self-reliance. The response of our communities to this threat, while admirable, is wholly unequal to its magnitude. As a special food system issue of the Centre for Community Enterprise's (CCE's) quarterly Making Waves, Canada's community economic development publication invites readers to identify the real issues, the real opportunities, the real difficulties - and to start building a real food system. The edition is titled Growing Hope, and will act as a resource to stimulate discussion on the National Practitioners Dialogue - a web board "discussion" designed to gather input from now until March 2007. This discussion will be melded into a draft agri-food policy document to be distributed for comment to web-board participants, Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet) members and members of allied community networks across Canada. From this feedback, a polished draft will be debated at the CCEDNet conference in April 2007 in St. John's Newfoundland with other national stakeholders in attendance. The final version will be promoted by CCEDNet and partner organizations in the national dialogue process to take place in Canada in 2007 running up to new Agricultural Policy Framework legislation expected in 2008. This project represents the future of sustainable agriculture and food policy in Canada. Guests Frank Moreland and Sandra Mark - Edible Strategies Enterprises Ltd.
