Here in Canada, we have a food security crisis—and a cost-of-living crisis. While there are many, many factors that are shaping this continued issue across the country, one of the challenges of navigating food insecurity here is that we rely primarily on non-profit food banks to support those in need. One non-profit food organization in Toronto, Daily Bread, is on a mission to eliminate food insecurity and advocate for solutions to end poverty. Daily Bread prepares over 250,000 meals annually, including more than 43,000 heat-and-eat meals delivered through the Red Cross Mobile Food bank to individuals facing barriers like mobility challenges, inadequate housing, or mental health conditions that make traditional food access difficult. In 2024, Toronto food bank visits hit an all time high of 4.1 million, and Toronto declared a state of emergency about food insecurity. In response, Daily Bread has seen their visits increase, with their Food Services Manager Michael Greenberg overseeing a kitchen that produced more than 270,000 meals between 2024-2025. Mike is on the show today to speak about the work he and his team do at Daily Bread to ensure that their food bank kitchen can logistically maintain itself with such high demands, the nutritional and social impact of food insecurity for clients who cannot prepare their own meals, and the vital role food banks play in advancing equity and dignity in food access.

From Walks to Wisdom: Hembo's Journey From Cedarville to ESPNIn the world of sports, stats tell stories — and for Paul “Hembo” Hembekides, they've written a full chapter of his life.Hembo graduated from Cedarville University in 2012 after four seasons of college baseball, where he started 170 games and set the program's all-time record with 128 walks. That patience and discipline at the plate hinted at the steady, focused approach he would later bring to a much bigger stage.After finishing grad school in Philadelphia, Hembo met an ESPN recruiter at a seminar and saw his opening. He followed up, stayed persistent, and eventually earned his shot. Over a decade later, he's one of the network's most trusted researchers and storytellers.On the Cedarville Stories podcast, Hembo looked back on the road that brought him from the batting plate at Cedarville to the studios at ESPN. He shared how the habits, values, and community at Cedarville shaped his thinking and built a strong foundation for life in a fast-paced, high-profile industry. While some of those lessons only became clear with time, they stuck — and they mattered.Today, Hembo wears many hats: researcher, co-author, on-air contributor, husband, and father of three daughters. He sees his work at ESPN as more than a career. It's his calling and his platform. Whether he's teaming up with longtime colleague Mike Greenberg or providing insights to NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky — who shares his Christian faith — Hembo stays rooted in the values that shaped him.He recalled watching Orlovsky pray on live TV after Damar Hamlin's collapse, calling it a moment that revealed the quiet power of faith in the sports world. These days, Hembo sees more athletes, coaches, and broadcasters living their beliefs out loud — and he counts it a privilege to be one of them.Through it all, Hembo keeps showing up with excellence, humility, and purpose. His story reminds us that in the middle of all the stats, scores, and highlight reels, there's still room for faith, family, and calling — and those might just be the most important wins of all.https://share.transistor.fm/s/0db04051https://youtu.be/UHGkR65spdE
