Podcasts about The Salvation Army

Is the Bible's central theme best understood as redemption and repair, or is there an even larger story being told? In this episode, Scott Engebretson and I talk with Collin Cornell about his new book God Draws Near. Cornell argues that communion with God provides a unifying theme that stretches across Scripture and helps connect creation, covenant, redemption, and new creation. Together we discuss how this framework complements traditional salvation themes while highlighting God's desire to dwell with his people. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on biblical theology and the overarching narrative of Scripture.Youtube - https://youtu.be/VAcTby8agCQAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4Learn more: God Draws NearIf you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude and Heaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Do we see the poor, hurting, and forgotten around us with the heart of Jesus Christ? Are we willing to surrender ourselves so that God can use us to meet both their physical and spiritual needs?In this episode, we consider the life of Salvation Army founder William Booth through Christ's command to care for “the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind” (see Luke 14:12–14). Burdened by the desperate needs he witnessed in London, Booth gave himself to bringing practical help and, above all, the hope of the Gospel to those society often overlooked. His ministry embodied a simple concern for “others”—feeding the hungry, caring for human dignity, and proclaiming salvation through Jesus Christ. Even through suffering, opposition, and failing eyesight, Booth continued serving with remarkable perseverance. His life challenges us to look beyond ourselves, see those in need around us, and allow Christ to have all that we are so that His love and light might flow through us to others.

As part of RNZ's series - Meth Toll, yesterday we heard about 57-year-old Deeann Herkt, who has now been sober for 11 years. In 2015, she referred herself to the Salvation Army Bridge Programme in Auckland, where she met a counsellor with a lived experience of meth addiction, who became a key navigator in her road to recovery. Emma Hunter, Service Development Lead at Salvation Army spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In this episode of the She Spark Podcast, Breeanya Hinkel sits down with Lieutenant Emily Reed, Corps Officer for The Salvation Army Prescott Corps and 2026 Prescott Woman Awards Rosie the Riveter Award recipient.Recognized for her dedication, hard work, leadership, and commitment to serving others, Emily shares the journey that brought her to The Salvation Army and what it means to lead with both strength and compassion. Together, they explore the needs facing local individuals and families, the work The Salvation Army does beyond the holiday season, and the power each of us has to make a difference in our community.

Who do you say that Jesus is? In this episode, I talk with renowned New Testament scholar Gary Cockerill about his new book, The Jesus Question. We explore the Gospel of Mark as Jesus' first biography and examine how Mark invites readers to encounter Christ through the eyes of his earliest followers. Cockerill explains why the identity of Jesus remains the most important question anyone can answer and how Mark's Gospel continues to challenge skeptics and strengthen believers. This conversation offers rich biblical insight, practical apologetics, and a compelling invitation to discipleship.Youtube - https://youtu.be/aFl0NxQ5_NIAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4Learn more about the book and preorder here: https://www.cokesbury.com/9781496487759-The-Jesus-QuestionIf you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude and Heaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Tonight's tale is Man About Town, O. Henry's wry, wandering search through turn-of-the-century New York for one elusive social type — first published in his 1906 collection The Four Million, long in the public domain, with Porter (1862–1910) having died more than a century ago. For more calming audiobooks and sleep stories whenever you need them, download Anchored, the free companion app to Calming Anxiety, with offline-ready relaxation and Books at Bedtime sessions for any hour of the night.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. In this soothing bedtime audiobook, our curious narrator sets out to finally pin down exactly what a "man about town" is, quizzing a reporter, a bartender, a Salvation Army lassie and a critic along the way, before the city itself delivers the answer in typically O.

Cacey Shorter was selected as a winner of the Wyffels Corn Belt Award because of her involvement and hard work in school, sports, and throughout her community. Cacey is a catcher/utility on her school's varsity softball team and is involved in FFA, the National Honor Society, FCA, student council, and other clubs and leadership activities. Through these opportunities, Cacey has learned a lot about teamwork, perseverance, and how to handle success and failure. She enjoys meeting other people, working together towards a common goal, and serving her school and community. Cacey is very active in her community and believes it's about taking action when you see someone in need. She has volunteered her time with different organizations, such as Toys for Tots, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and Riley Children's Hospital. Cacey has also supported food pantries, tornado relief efforts, and helped with service projects through FFA and her school. To Cacey, agriculture represents family, community, and the work people put in every day to provide food and other resources. After growing up in a rural community and raising equine, she has learned how important agriculture is to the people around her and to everyone's future. She understands that we need to take care of the land and continue to support farmers. Now that she sees farmland being sold off to make room for data centers, she believes learning about agriculture is more important than ever. After high school, Cacey plans to continue her education at Lees McRae University to pursue a degree in physical therapy and join the equine team.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if Moses wrestled with questions about truth, morality, beauty, and the existence of God? Jonathan Lyonhart joins me on the podcast to discuss his imaginative new book, Zeus Was an Atheist. Combining biblical storytelling, philosophy, mythology, humor, and apologetics, Lyonhart presents Moses as a seeker confronting some of humanity's deepest questions. Along the way, readers encounter Egyptian gods, Greek mythology, cosmic battles, and thought-provoking conversations about reality itself. This unique genre-blending work invites believers and skeptics alike to think more deeply about faith, doubt, and the God who revealed himself to Moses at Sinai.Youtube - https://youtu.be/C_yNssezQrgAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4Get the book here: Zeus Was an AtheistIf you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude and Heaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

They called her the Mother of the Salvation Army. She also wrote its theology and drew crowds that lined up around the block just to hear her preach.In this brand-new episode of The Orchard Podcast, Rachel is joined by Danielle Strickland to explore the life of Catherine Booth, co-founder of The Salvation Army, for Heroes of the Faith.Danielle shares stories that reveal a woman who was deeply loved by her nine children, who refused to marry William until he agreed to treat her as an equal, and who was never afraid to challenge the Church or disrupt the status quo. From the moment she stood up during William's preaching because she felt the Holy Spirit saying, "Tell them now," to the time she threw herself in front of a man beating a horse, her courage and conviction are hard to forget.Why does this hero still matter so much to Danielle, and what might she have to say to the Church today?Honest, warm and rooted in scripture.Follow The Orchard Podcast for more conversations like this one.

Theological education is undergoing a major transformation. In this episode, I welcome Dale Coulter to discuss his essay, “The Great Seminary Sorting.” Coulter analyzes the forces reshaping seminaries, including denominational realignment, financial pressures, changing student demographics, and theological identity. He also offers a constructive vision for the future of theological education and the institutions that will thrive in the years ahead.

What does it look like to lead the way Jesus did — through the cross, not around it? Host Joy Fea welcomes Rev. Dr. Nicole Massie Martin, President and CEO of Christianity Today, to talk about her book Nailing It: Why Successful Leadership Demands Suffering and Surrender. Together, they explore what people really need from a leader, why perfectionism isn't the same as excellence, how power works for women with and without a title, and why loyalty can quietly become an idol. Nicole also shares what “cruciform leadership” looks like on an ordinary Tuesday, and what she'd tell her twentysomething self about ambition, insecurity, and calling.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNWhy transparency — not just confidence — is what makes a leader trustworthy, and how naming the “turbulence” ahead of time actually builds a team's confidence rather than undermining it.What Nicole's book title actually means: leadership “suffering” isn't suffering for its own sake — it's dying to ego, control, and ambition so that something greater can be resurrected through you.How to recognize when perfectionism, not excellence, is driving your leadership (and your parenting) — and why anything involving other people can never be perfect.The difference between operating with excellence and operating to prove your worth — and why God's approval, not your output, is the more stable foundation.A framework for understanding power beyond your job title: legitimate, expert, informational, referential, and reward power, and how to identify and use whatever power you actually have.How to tell the difference between healthy, Christ-centered loyalty and loyalty that has quietly become an idol — and why toxic leaders are usually surrounded by loyal followers who are afraid to speak up.What women uniquely bring to leadership when they're free to lead from who God made them to be, rather than compensating for who they're told they aren't.What “cruciform leadership” looks like in practice — a daily, repeated act of surrendering your schedule, your meetings, and your outcomes to God rather than white-knuckling your way through them.How Nicole leads a 70-year-old media ministry without becoming captive to its legacy — maintaining Christianity Today's founding mission while letting its expression evolve.Nicole's advice to young leaders on discerning calling: focus on your strengths rather than fixing your weaknesses, and hold your context loosely — your calling is bigger than any one role.ABOUT OUR GUEST Reverend Doctor Nicole Massie Martin was born and educated in Baltimore, Maryland.

Pre-Order Pete Scazzero's forthcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success, at www.emotionallyhealthy.org/success and get a free chapter.For years, I measured ministry impact by one word: bigger. I remember walking into one of the largest churches in America, watching thousands of people fill the room, and thinking, this is it, this is critical mass. A staff member who'd been there since it was a thousand people told me something shifted at 7,500. Point people in a direction, he said, and it felt like a tidal wave.Jesus never built his kingdom that way. He picked twelve. Pulled three in closer. Sent seventy out two by two. The crowds came last, if they came at all. He called it yeast, a small amount, buried deep, working quietly until the whole loaf rises.In this episode, I walk through the fourth of four reversals from my new book: the move from critical mass to critical yeast. If you've ever measured your ministry by the size of the room, this episode will show you a slower, harder, far more fruitful way to measure it.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

On September 1, the City of Charlottesville is expected to begin clearing out people who have been living in encampments along the Rivanna River and charging anyone who tries to stay with trespassing. September 1 is also the same day that Central Arizona Shelter Services is contractually obligated to begin operating an emergency low-barrier facility at 2000 Holiday Drive.In this edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, you'll hear some of the story of how we got to this point from prior stories that appeared in the newsletter and podcast since September 2023 concluding with an update of where things are before what the city calls a “transition” is expected to occur.If you've never heard one of these podcasts before, this is a good one that includes three years of coverage on this one topic.

I think it was worth it to have gone through all of this, but now I need to get on to a day's worth of travel.Please let me know if you heard it all the way through or if you heard an error. I'm not sure I'll be able to correct it because there's a lot of work to get to this upcoming week.Please also share the link with others. This is a public episode.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 162 is the first of two episodes with Allyson Deraps, our new key team member in Farella's exempt organizations practice. In part one, Allyson will talk about her background and her experience with the Burning Man organization and the nonprofit volunteer model, including issues related to classification, liability, and insurance. In part two, episode 163, we'll focus more on practical tools and day-to-day program design, including documentation, screening, training, supervision, and other takeaways for nonprofit leaders with volunteer programs. Show Notes: Allyson Deraps, Special Counsel, Farella Braun + Martel Spilman v. The Salvation Army, 117 Cal. App. 5th 913 (2026) (adopts a two-part test for distinguishing nonprofit volunteers from employees under California law: (1) the person freely agreed to serve for a personal or charitable benefit rather than compensation, and (2) the arrangement is not a subterfuge to evade wage laws) Volunteer Protection Act of 1997, 42 U.S.C. § 14501 Department of Labor Fact Sheet #14A: Non-Profit Organizations and the Fair Labor Standards Act DOL Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under The Fair Labor Standards Act DOL Opinion Letter FLSA2007-3NA (addresses stipends paid to volunteer firefighters and articulates the "nominal fee" standard) Cal.

Community leadership requires more than just goodwill—it demands sustainable mental health practices, actionable outreach, and local support. In this episode, host Bry

In any given year, leap or otherwise, August 22 is almost but not quite two-thirds of the way through the year. For this year, the exact tally is 64.1 percent. In 2028 that number will dip slightly to 63.9 percent. One unwritten style note of Charlottesville Community Engagement is that the percentage sign is to be avoided.A perhaps gaudy style note is to use these podcast editions to inform newer readers (and listeners) of previous editions from this day. The archive is free for all to review because the point of this entire endeavor is to connect people to things they may want to know.* August 22, 2023: Piedmont Housing Alliance selected to develop Piedmont site at UVA; SELC files suit to keep Virginia in RGGI (CCE-568, a podcast version as well!)* August 22, 2024: Two-thirds of the Albemarle Electoral Board express concerns about ranked choice voting (CCE-722, after the decision was made to not make a podcast every time)These podcast editions also serve as a way to put out a “week in review” with links to the stories covered. This time around, two of the stories debut in audio form first before their publication in print. This audio version also went over the radio airwaves on WTJU at 6 a.m. If you weren't up then, take a listen and see what you can learn if you open up your ears a bit.In this edition:* Charlottesville continues to prepare to move people from Rivanna River encampment while some residents call for a halt (read the story)* Council allocates $3 million more to Salvation Army's Center for Hope (read the story)* A representative of the Central Arizona Shelter Services gives more details about the organization (print story coming on Monday)* Albemarle County Supervisors review planning department's work plan (read the story)* Charlottesville City Council agrees to hand over a narrow stretch of land to a local developer (print story coming on Wednesday)* A very brief preview of the Week Ahead that comes out tomorrow (self-explanatory)A sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. As a natural burial ground just outside Charlottesville, we offer families an alternative to traditional burial that honors both the people we love and the land that will carry them forward.Whether you are planning ahead, navigating a recent loss, or are just curious about natural burial, we welcome the conversation. We host regular tours and community events throughout the year. At Panorama we are building new ways of understanding death, land, ecology, ritual, memory, and community. We believe that building community around death care helps us all to live fuller lives. We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!Notes on CCE-1111ANow that title sounds like a Federation starship's designation. The numbers are part of a structure I've put in place over time to help me know what I wrote when. I looked back at the two previous August 22 editions and my only thought is whether there may be a WAN version from August 22.Thanks to a spreadsheet I keep, there is!* Week Ahead for July 4, 2022: Fluvanna to ponder new name for Palmyra district; Louisa to further discuss library name-change, how to celebrate America's 250th in four yearsI really want to keep doing this. I seldom stop and look back, but this new habit of tying podcasts to earlier versions of the newsletter helps me do so. Can the editors of other information outlets do the same thing? I'm here to document and hundreds of you are paying me to do so.To what end? For me, I want to keep writing these stories. For one story today, I did about two hours of research into City Council minutes and my own reporting to try to fill in context. All of this material is out there for people to review, but how can anyone figure it out?That's where Charlottesville Community Engagement hopes to come in. I encourage everyone reading to click on source materials yourself and see what I'm reporting from.Photo gallery of flood pictures This is a public episode.

In this episode of More to the Story, I welcome Dr. Matt O'Reilly (Lead Pastor of Christ Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and Director of Research at Wesley Biblical Seminary) for a timely conversation about the upcoming Global Methodist Church General Conference.The gathering will take place August 30–September 5, 2026, in Johannesburg, South Africa. We discuss the major issues expected to arise at this historic meeting, with particular focus on one of the most important questions facing the young denomination: how GMC polity will find a healthy balance between local church autonomy and connectional unity.Join the conversation as Matt and I explore what it will take for the Global Methodist Church to remain both faithfully Wesleyan and truly global.Youtube - https://youtu.be/APb-6fUQrRYAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Pre-Order Pete Scazzero's forthcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success, at www.emotionallyhealthy.org/success and get a free chapter.  For my first seventeen years in ministry, I led for Jesus without listening to him. My prayer life was mostly a list of requests. When a door opened, I walked through it and called it faithfulness, following my best ideas and telling myself it was discernment.In this episode, I walk through the third of four reversals from my new book: the move from our best ideas to discerning God's voice. Even Peter, James, and John struggled here. Peter watched Jesus transfigured on the mountain and responded with a plan: let's build three shelters. God interrupted him mid-sentence. "Listen to him." Not "help him." Not "build for him." Listen.If you've ever assumed your best idea for God was from God, this episode will show you a better way. Discernment isn't a bonus skill for the spiritually elite. It's the difference between leading for Jesus and actually listening to him.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

In this episode, I sit down with Rev. Dr. Chris Ritter, chair of the Global Methodist Church's Global Episcopacy Committee, to explore the next chapter for bishops in the GMC. For the first time, the church will elect a regular slate of full-time bishops at its 2026 General Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa (August 30–September 5).Ritter walks us through the carefully designed process: annual conference delegations nominate candidates, eight international episcopal areas are formed, Area Committees on Episcopacy interview and rank nominees, and the full General Conference elects one bishop per area by a 60% threshold. These bishops will serve six-year terms as general superintendents—globally focused, term-limited servant leaders charged with guarding, teaching, and proclaiming the apostolic faith from a Wesleyan perspective.We discuss the shift from interim and part-time leadership to a more stable, full-time episcopacy, the theological and practical reasons behind restoring election to General Conference, and what this means for the church's mission to make disciples and spread scriptural holiness across the globe. A clear, hopeful conversation about accountable leadership in a global Methodist movement.Youtube - https://youtu.be/FSijf2TcYU4Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

National Vinyl Record Day Top 5; Getting lost tubing; Florida Man's Lousy Speeding Excuse; Pull Up Your Pants controversy; Someone's missing their sex doll; Lighting Strikes; Snakes in a helmet; Wing It Wednesday with The Salvation Army

Rhino Records co-founder Richard Foos reveals how a scrappy record shop invented reissue culture, chasing master tapes, getting arrested for selling bootleg records, memories of Frank Zappa, Darby Crash and more. Topics Include: Foos discusses being called originator of reissue culture, credits early employee's phrase. Started as a Los Angeles record shop in 1973. Recalls how scarce and cheap rare records were before collecting culture existed. Describes hunting records at warehouses, swap meets, and Salvation Army stores. Notes punk rock's DIY ethos sparked broader music fandom and collecting. Rhino's shop became a punk hangout; Darby Crash was banned for chaos. Explains how punk bands pressed 45s since albums were too costly. James Brown's out-of-print catalog became Rhino's breakthrough first major reissue. Details licensing process: major labels' passive licensing departments simply approved requests. Rhino insisted on original master tapes, never secondary sources or stampers. Engineer Bill Englott restored recordings purely, never altering original mixes. Some projects stalled without usable masters, like a punk box set. Nuggets compilation missed "96 Tears" for years due to licensing issues. Foos explains Rhino's sequencing philosophy: welcoming newcomers, not strict chronology. Doo-wop box set, initially unpopular internally, became Rhino's best-selling release. Discusses 20-25 year nostalgia cycles driving collectibility of past decades' music. Notes scarce 2000s vinyl pressings now make that era highly collectible. Rhino focused on best listening experience over rarities for rarity's sake. Foos recounts pre-Rhino bootlegging ties and friendship with bootleg artist Bill Stout. Reveals he was arrested for selling bootlegs during a warehouse sale. Discusses how record labels misunderstood fandom, limiting artist output and bootlegs. Reflects on vinyl's spiritual appeal despite many records never being played. Compares cassette-era scarcity to streaming's shifting availability of licensed content. Predicts streaming remains the future, praises YouTube's vast musical accessibility. Doubts catalog values will keep rising, questions which artists endure historically. Criticizes a post-Rhino "L.A. Nuggets" box set for prioritizing rarity over listenability. Recalls Kinky Friedman rejecting a hits compilation over disliking his originals. Explains publishing hurdles licensing music for Freaks and Geeks and WKRP DVDs. Describes working with Frank Zappa on Beat the Boots and elaborate packaging. Shares current work: Shout Factory, wife's Narrative Method, and a new podcast.

Hannah Eisenberg joins us on ABQ Connect to discuss The Salvation Army's ongoing flood relief efforts in Zuni Pueblo following the devastating flooding of July 22, 2026. The Salvation Army is serving more than 100 first responders each day, including police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and tribal workers, while also providing meals, emotional support, and spiritual care to those working on the front lines of recovery. Hannah shares how flooding has impacted homes, roads, and community buildings throughout the Pueblo, and how listeners can help support recovery and rebuilding efforts through the Zuni Pueblo Flood Relief Fund.

The Salvation Army is seeing greater numbers of young people turn to them for help - as today's unemployment figures show nearly 96,000 aren't in jobs, education or training. The NEET rate for 15 to 24 year olds is now at 13.8 percent. Unemployment has risen to an 11 year high of 5.6 percent. Salvation Army Principal Policy Analyst, Paul Barber spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Pre-Order Pete Scazzero's forthcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success at www.emotionallyhealthy.org/successFor most of my early ministry, I led from my gifts. Teaching, vision-casting, faith, I had those in abundance, and little else. So I built my leadership on them, hid my weaknesses, and made sure no one saw me struggle. Then a painful church split exposed the whole thing. I spiraled into a two-year depression before I hit rock bottom, and found Jesus waiting for me there.In this episode, I walk through the second of four reversals from my new book: the move from charisma to weakness and limits. Jesus was born to a peasant girl, lived thirty ordinary years, and refused the power offered him in the desert. Paul, facing leaders with every credential he lacked, chose to boast in his weakness instead. "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness."If you've been measuring your ministry by the world's scorecard- gifts, platform, impact- this episode will show you a better one. Weakness isn't a hindrance to what God wants to do through you. It's the doorway.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

A collective of charity op shops has banded together to shout about their significance to New Zealand. ReUse Aotearoa was launched last night at Parliament. Habitat for Humanity, Hato Hone St John, Hospice NZ, Red Cross, Salvation Army, SPCA and St Vincent de Paul are all involved. Their aim is to highlight their impact on the economy, community and environment. Gareth Marshall is the ReUse Aotearoa collective chairperson, he's also The Salvation Army Family Store's National Manager, he chats to Jesse.

A new report suggests a growing number of people are finding themselves homeless for the first time. The snap shot prepared by the Salvation Army and Community housing Aotearoa says the profile of people with nowhere to go is changing. The Salvation Army's principal policy analyst Paul Barber spoke to Lisa Owen.

Rob Scheer was thrown out at 18 with a trash bag. He was the youngest of 10 children. His mother was married six times. His father beat him and his siblings, punching him in the bladder so repeatedly that by the time Rob joined the Navy, it ruptured. He had spent his senior year of high school homeless — sleeping in the bathroom of the taco restaurant where he worked, on beanbag chairs in the public library after closing, and on the floors of friends' homes. He barely graduated. He had no family to go back to. He had no picture to put on his bunk in boot camp except one of Tina Turner. Then he became one of the most successful mortgage bankers in the country. On Episode 237 of Fine is a 4-Letter Word, Rob Scheer sits down with Lori Saitz to share the full arc: the teachers who believed in him when no one else did, the Navy discharge that sent him hitchhiking down Route 7 with a Salvation Army suit and a fabricated resume, the mortgage industry boss who ripped that resume in half and told him he was the most honest person he had ever met, the 28-year banking career, and the moment he looked at his four children in designer clothes and realized he had raised entitled kids who had never learned empathy. That realization led to Comfort Cases — a nonprofit that packs backpacks filled with brand-new essentials for children entering foster care on their first night. No more trash bags. Over 320,000 cases delivered to all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. Three-month waiting list for volunteers. Published by Derek Jeter. Featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Rob also shares what it means to be a foster and adoptive father to five sons, including one adopted at 18 in an adult adoption. He talks about why empathy is not in our DNA and must be taught, what leadership actually looks like outside of a job title, and why a five-year-old named Grayson was the one who understood from the very beginning that every backpack needs a blanket.

San Francisco's drug and homelessness crisis is impacting everyone, and the community is sounding the alarm. As San Franciscans raise issues of safety, over the last 5 years the city has lost more than 4,500 people to fatal overdoses. Although San Francisco has poured billions of dollars into proposed solutions, our public health systems continue to fail the community. Many people continue to deny the link between addiction, homelessness, and crime, while others with lived experience are calling for balanced, common-sense strategies. The Way Out is a recovery-focused homeless initiative of the Salvation Army at the intersection of drug addiction and homelessness, grounded in the belief that people recover when given the right support, structure and opportunity. Built on an abstinence-based model (including medication-assisted treatment, or MAT), The Way Out provides real-time access to services and a clear pathway from the streets to stability and independence. Delivered through a comprehensive Recovery System of Care, services include a recovery-focused shelter, stabilization, and withdrawal management; residential drug treatment; recovery housing and independent living; workforce development and life skills, and an alumni support network.  A Health & Medicine Member-led Forum program. Forums and Chapters at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics. Learn more about our Forums.

Free Resource: Craft a Rule of Life for Emotionally Healthy Leaders → emotionallyhealthy.org/ruleIn 2004, I stood in front of a building we couldn't afford to renovate, a staff team with the wrong people in the wrong seats, and a list of problems that all traced back to my own failures as a leader. I thought about resigning. I thought I'd taken the church as far as I could.Most of us know that feeling. Not enough hours. Not enough margin. Not enough emotional or spiritual energy for one more thing. And under that kind of pressure, we get reactive, anxious, driven.This week, I go back to 701 BC and a king named Hezekiah, surrounded by the most powerful army in the world, with no way out. What he does under that siege is still exactly what we need today. Four practices, not theory, that show you how to find rest when the pressure won't let up.This isn't about managing your calendar better. It's about what you do the moment the walls close in.Listen now, and grab the Rule of Life resource above to start building this into your own life.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Phil to unpack the simple habits behind five decades of work in human behavior, why anxiety is fear without a real threat, the four questions he asks himself to stay honest, and the one exercise he says rewires your brain.
