Chris Holman welcomes Ken Estelle, CEO, Feeding America West Michigan, Kentwood, MI. This episode of Michigan Business Beat features an interview with Ken Estelle, CEO of Feeding America West Michigan, a food bank headquartered in Kentwood that serves 40 of Michigan's 83 counties — primarily rural areas on the west side of the Lower Peninsula and the entire Upper Peninsula. Estelle reports that the organization is currently seeing more people seeking food assistance more frequently than at any point in its 40-year history, a trend he attributes largely to inflation driving up the costs of food, rent, utilities, and medications while incomes have not kept pace. Retail partners like Meijer remain among the organization's largest donors by weight, though supply chain fluctuations have at times reduced incoming donations, forcing the food bank to purchase more food than ever before. Estelle encouraged the business community to get involved by raising awareness among employees, volunteering at food bank facilities, and making financial contributions to help sustain operations. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Coming to you from Steubenville South 2025, we've got two of our buddies back on the mics with us--Trey Holmes and Logan Simon. What a gift is was to catch up with these guys as they share their desires for holy matrimony with us, the strength and struggles of vulnerability, and life after seminary. Y'all enjoy!Jesus, thank you for sharing your good and holy sons with us!......
What does it actually mean to be holy—and is it even possible? John Mark explores the biblical meaning of holiness, and how we grow in it. He invites us to begin the journey toward holiness not with striving, but by recognizing our powerlessness, listening for the Spirit's quiet invitations, and taking one small step at a time.Key Scripture Passage: Philippians 1v1This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
