Often the biggest transformations we undergo don't arrive as lightning bolts, but as quiet shifts we've been preparing for all along. For John Fox, the transformation from a 25-year career in high finance to becoming a chaplain wasn't sudden at all. It was a slow burn—shaped by loss, reflection, community, and a deep desire to live a more meaningful life.John's successful finance career spanned decades. To the world, he was thriving, but internally he yearned for fulfillment no paycheck could give him. After losing his mother, questioning the purpose of work, and rediscovering his spiritual roots, he began to sense that his life was preparing him for a very different kind of service. That path eventually led him to the Peace Corps, seminary, and finally chaplaincy—where he now spends his days sitting with people in hospitals, jails, shelters, and hospice care.In this conversation, John shares how you can slowly build a new life, why most of us struggle to talk about things we can't fix, and the human need to be seen by others. We also talk about community, discernment, loss, faith, and the power of listening without trying to change anything.His story is a reminder that life's meaning often reveals itself slowly… and that the pivots that change our lives most profoundly are the ones we've been preparing for all along.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To learn more about the Union Rescue Mission, visit their website at www.urm.orgAnd to check out John's congregation, head to www.newcitychurchla.com

New Jersey faces a critical afterschool programming crisis, with demand far exceeding availability. While 85% of parents recognize these programs build essential social skills and keep children safe, only a fraction of families who need them have access. This gap leaves working parents scrambling for childcare and kids without structured environments to learn and grow. Host Aaron Turner, Chief Philanthropic Officer at the Community Foundation of New Jersey, sits down with three leading advocates—Ebony Grace of the NJ School-Age Child Care Coalition, Rosie Grant from Paterson Education Fund, and Louise McCants of Capital Area YMCA—to explore solutions to this mounting challenge.Learn more about the guests' orginizations : NJSACC: https://www.njsacc.orgCapital Area YMCA: https://capitalymca.orgPaterson Education Fund: https://paterson-education.orgAnd here are additional materials:Child care costs consume 19% of N.J. family budgets, survey finds- https://www.nj.com/mosaic/2025/11/child-care-costs-consume-19-of-nj-family-budgets-survey-finds.htmlAmerica After 3 PM NJ survey data - https://afterschoolalliance.org/AA3PM/data/new-jersey/demandWallace Foundation Report- https://wallacefoundation.org/report/responding-reimagining-realizing-out-school-time-coordination-new-era-out-school-timeMott Foundation Research- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MC5DhlG0XAP8Tmik-hTGt6SWI4CTjMf6/view?usp=sharing

We're coming upon the season of giving — the period when Americans' generosity pours forth. According to Charity Engine, about one-third of the $590 billion given to charity each year occurs in December.In this episode, Crows Feet explores an innovative charitable giving platform, Giving Multiplier. It combines heartfelt, personal donations with making it far easier to have an impact on some of the world's most pressing issues: global health and poverty, animal welfare, and climate change.The Giving Multiplier concept of “bundling donations” emerged from charitable giving research at Harvard University by Dr. Joshua Greene and Dr. Lucius Caviola. They found people were incentivized to give when they could combine their personal interests with global concerns.Giving Multiplier adds to your gifts to both the local and global charities by up to 25% (30% for Crow's Feet listeners), depending on the allocation. Listen to this interactive episode, then return to it on your laptop to follow along with the tutorial. It can be found at 8 minutes in. Links and further information: www.givingmultiplier.org/CROWFor more information about Dr. Joshua Greene and Dr. Lucius CaviolaIf you'd like to inquire about supporting Giving Multiplier, please contact Matt Coleman, at matt@givingmultiplier.orgAnd check out the insightful daily perspective by Crows Feet writers at www.crowsfeetlifeasweage.com.Support the showSupport the show
In this episode, Jeremy is joined by Greg Stier, founder of Dare 2 Share, to talk about what happens when evangelism becomes part of the culture of a youth ministry. Drawing from new research involving hundreds of youth groups around the world, Greg explains the difference between a “typical” youth group and a gospel-advancing one. What would it look like to see leaders model faith-sharing, students trained to share the gospel relationally, and new believers intentionally discipled? The results are striking, but the heart of the conversation goes deeper: when students put their faith into action, discipleship accelerates. This episode will challenge and encourage you to see evangelism not as an extra program, but as a key leverage point for spiritual growth and long-term impact Check out the research at dontmissit.report and watch Greg talk more about it on YouTube.Learn more about Dare 2 Share at dare2share.orgAnd if you are looking for a clear way to start a faith conversation remember: Ask, Admire, Admit…Have a question or want to dig deeper?
