Of course, you will remember meeting Commissioner James Betts in our first episode of the year, in which we introduced him as the new Territorial Commander in the West. Today, we're sharing a message from him, delivered just recently during the Welcome and Installation service held February 14 at the Tustin Ranch Corps in California. Drawing from Romans 12, Commissioner Betts challenges us to move beyond forgiveness alone and into a life of daily surrender—a life shaped by unity, holiness and transforming love. In a world quick to divide and slow to trust, this message calls us back to the refining fire of God's mercy and the joy that comes from laying our lives fully before him. As you listen, we pray you would be encouraged, challenged and renewed—and that the joy of the Lord would strengthen you for the season ahead. Here now is Commissioner James Betts with his message, "Transforming Love." EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more. BE AFFIRMED. Get the Good Words email series. FIND YOUR STORY. Get the email course.

A father of four says words cannot describe the relief he felt having a stable roof for his family after they spent a month living in a van before moving to emergency housing. His family is among those who have moved into 41 new homes at a Salvation Army social housing development in south Auckland. Amy Williams went along to the opening and filed this report.

In this second episode of a two-part series, (for part 1 click here) we explore The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God's authoritative and trustworthy revelation.Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.To guide the conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Matt O'Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years. Together, we walk through the text, highlight its insights, and consider why Wesleyans should be familiar with this important articulation of inerrancy.In this episode:Why the Chicago Statement remains influentialHow it reflects the classical Christian approach to ScriptureWhy Wesleyans benefit from engaging itGuided reading + theological commentaryHow inerrancy fits within a broader doctrine of revelationYoutube - https://youtu.be/5dgCFypDxogAudio - 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.

When everything feels uncertain—where you'll live, how you'll provide, what comes next—stability can change everything. In this episode, Lt. Nick Carillo shares his journey through housing insecurity, recovery and faith—and how receiving help became the turning point that reshaped his future. Lt. Nick opens up about what it's like to live in survival mode, why simply having a safe place to be restores dignity and hope, and how that stability eventually led him from shelter resident to shelter manager—and now to serving others as a Salvation Army officer. This is a story about housing security, but even more, it's a story about the ripple effect of stability—how being helped can plant the seed to help others, and how joy grows when it's paid forward.

In Wellington, failure at the Moa Point wastewater treatment plant has led to millions of liters of wastewater being sent into the Cook Strait.  The incident has shed light on what scientific experts have been saying for years — that water infrastructure in New Zealand is out of date and incapable of handling the growing effect of climate challenges without deeper investment. The Salvation Army released their State of the Nation report which has found an increase in issues across the justice system, child welfare, and poverty contributing to declining social equality in Aotearoa. As well, NZ First leader Winston Peters is campaigning on a referendum on Māori seats in New Zealand. Wire Host Sara spoke to National MP Ryan Hamilton about all of these topics, starting with Moa Point.

Hollywood and Horsepower Show with Mark Otto Guest, John Barbour of Talk Movies and John Barbour's World https://johnbarboursworld.com/ Hollywood Legend John Barbour: The Bumpy Road from Canadian Dropout to Reality TV Pioneer John Barbour: Hollywood & Horsepower The Bumpy Life of the "Father of Reality TV" & Sinatra's Secret Writer Editorial Abstract Core Narrative From a Salvation Army charity ward in Toronto to the heights of Hollywood, John Barbour's career was built on "accidents" and raw wit. A high-school dropout and former Vegas gambler who became a 5-time Emmy winner. "Television is the only industry in America where competition does not improve the product." KEY MILESTONES • Created Real People (1st Reality Show) • 4.5 years as Sinatra's private writer • Directed definitive JFK documentaries • Discovered/Mentored Pat Morita LIFE PHILOSOPHY • "Better to be liked than talented" • Atheism at 12 (The "God's Will" debate) • Success through accidental timing The Inner Circle FS Frank Sinatra "The Chairman" & Employer JG Jim Garrison JFK Investigator & Mentor RF Redd Foxx Lifelong Friend & Mentor FEATURED WORK "Your Mother's Not a Virgin" The definitive autobiography of a Canadian dropout. #RealityTV #JFKConspiracy #Sinatra Interview Date: Feb 12, 2026 • 105 min read This interview explores the extraordinary life of John Barbour, the "Father of Reality TV," tracing his journey from a dysfunctional childhood in Toronto to the heights of Hollywood success. Barbour shares candid anecdotes about his "accidental" career, his time as Frank Sinatra's private writer, and his groundbreaking work on the first reality show, Real People. The conversation also delves into his deep involvement in investigating the JFK assassination alongside Jim Garrison. Detailed Summary 1. Roots of Resilience: A Troubled Beginning John Barbour's life began in a Salvation Army charity ward in Toronto in 1933, born into a severely dysfunctional environment. His father left to fight in WWII when John was six and never returned, later surfacing as a successful advertising executive in Scotland. Raised by an alcoholic mother in an abusive household, Barbour found refuge in two places: the local hockey rink and the cinema, where he developed a lifelong love for storytelling and movies. His early life was marked by poverty and minor delinquency, including stints in jail, which he balanced by spending his free time in libraries. 2. The Accidental Path to Fame Barbour attributes his greatest successes to "accidents." At 17, he became a professional gambler after memorizing books on dice and cards, eventually winning enough to buy a suit and a bus ticket to the United States. A train delay led him to Lake Tahoe, where he witnessed the arrival of Frank Sinatra and mobster Sam Giancana—a precursor to his future role as Sinatra's private writer for four and a half years. After moving to Hollywood, he transitioned from gambling to comedy, inspired by the conversational wit of Jack Paar. The "Accidental" Career Timeline 1933: Born in Toronto charity ward. 1950: Moves to US; witnesses Sinatra in Tahoe. 1960s: Mentors Pat Morita; breaks into stand-up comedy. 1979: Creates Real People, the first reality TV show. Present: Investigative documentarian (JFK/Jim Garrison). 3. Mentorship and the Comedy Scene Barbour played a pivotal role in the careers of other icons, most notably Pat Morita. He encouraged Morita to embrace his Japanese heritage in his act, providing the specific cultural jokes that helped Morita find his unique voice in comedy. Barbour also shares a deep, lifelong friendship with Redd Foxx, whom he describes as his mentor. Despite his success, Barbour remained a "controversial" figure in the industry, often clashing with network executives and fellow hosts like Johnny Carson over creative integrity and political outspokenness. 4. The JFK Investigation and Jim Garrison A significant portion of Barbour's later career has been dedicated to the JFK assassination. After reading Jim Garrison's Heritage of Stone, Barbour became a close associate of the New Orleans District Attorney. He produced definitive documentaries on the subject, arguing that Garrison had essentially solved the case in 1967. Barbour remains a vocal critic of the official Warren Commission narrative, a stance that he admits has occasionally made him persona non grata in mainstream Hollywood circles. Key Industry Connections John Barbour's influence spanned multiple generations of talent. Frank Sinatra: Private writer for 4.5 years. Pat Morita: Gave him his "Japanese comic" concept. Redd Foxx: Lifelong friend and comedy mentor. Jim Garrison: Partner in JFK investigative media. Key Data Birth Year: 1933. Sinatra Collaboration: 4.5 years as a private writer. Peak Earnings: $23,000 per week during the height of Real People. JFK Special Date: November 22nd, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM Pacific Time. To-Do / Next Steps Read John Barbour's autobiography, Your Mother's Not a Virgin, available on Amazon. Tune in to the live two-hour JFK special on November 22nd via BBS Radio/TV. Visit John Barbour's website to view archival interviews with Redd Foxx and Frank Zappa. Research the "No Fallen Heroes" foundation to support veterans and first responders. Conclusion John Barbour's story is a testament to the power of storytelling and the unpredictability of life. From a "Canadian dropout" to a television pioneer, his career has been defined by a refusal to compromise his wit or his search for the truth, whether in comedy or in the investigation of American history.

The Salvation Army is warning that families are starving and is calling on the Government to urgently increase food aid. Its latest State of the Nation paints are dire picture of worsening child poverty and unemployment, rising family violence and stubbornly high cost of living pressures. Penny Smith was at the launch of the report.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Ali Jones and Allan Blackman. First up, the Salvation Army's nineteenth annual State of the Nation report says family violence is at it's highest point in eight years, and more kids are going hungry. The Panel talks to one of the author of the report, Paul Barber. Then, the new granny flat rules have been touted as a win for property owners and housing supply. But Karel Boakes, president of the Building Officials Institute of NZ says they may be easier to start now, but far easier to get wrong.

There is a theory that both the next podcast edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement as well as the next written version might be delayed out of some sort of concern about whether the internal numbering system is equipped to deal with the impending approach of the 1,000th edition. At least, that is one possible explanation of why it has taken so long to produce these older stories from the last week. There was a slight disruption in the routine which sometimes results in delays. I'm Sean Tubbs, and I look forward to sorting it all out.Audio versions of stories previously sent out in the newsletter: * Charlottesville City Council agrees to reallocate funding intended to run low-barrier shelter (read the story)* Charlottesville's finance director presents more details on city's $8.5 million surplus (read the story)* The 700 block of Charlottesville's West Main Street is now known as “Mel's Walk” (read the story)* Albemarle's Economic Development Authority agrees to spend $500K on Boulders Road Extension (read the story)* Supervisor Mike Pruitt shares information on CARTA with fellow elected officials (read the story)* The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission will try again for federal funding for design of Rivanna pedestrian bridge (read the story)Charlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication.

As I was producing stories last week, I did produce the audio but I did not post them to the Information Charlottesville website. Somehow I forgot that finished audio segments had been made and it felt like a slog to have to do the audio again.This is because the radio version did not air last week and so I didn't feel the same pressure to follow all of the steps. This week there will be a radio show and I have enough material that I am considering slowing down a little this week to focus on business and administration things.Also, it is going to be in the fifties later and I want to go for a walk and watch the ice and snow melt. So I am going to aim to have the next newsletter out tomorrow. That will be #999 and after that will be #1000. No comma. I think that's how I'll get through adding a fourth digit.Another reason things were difficult this week is that my copy of Adobe Audition reset and a lot of my bookmarks disappeared. Because I could not see the recent links to session files, I assumed I had not produced them.I'm writing this as I produce the podcast and also missing are my links to various sound files I use as punctuation in between stories. Youngers versions of me used to love playing around with audio production. I still do, but these days the need to produce takes the capacity away from being creative.Which is why this may be a week I listen to my brain and take a slight reset. All I know is that I'm very glad to have this edition done and to have a few hours off away from writing. There are many stories to tell, but there are also days I need to do a little more.Oh! Another reason this week is weird. For some reason, the gain on the headphones for my recording set-up is really low so I can't really hear myself while narrating. This is an annoyance but also causes issues. Perhaps I'll spend the rest of the day setting up a new place to work! This is a public episode.

Housing instability remains a major barrier for many in the Salvation Army's State of the Nation report. The key findings show child poverty and material hardship are rising, cost of living remains high, and unemployment's increased. It's found unaffordable rents and rising homelessness are disrupting education, employment, and wellbeing. Salvation Army Analyst Paul Barber told Mike Hosking 25% of people's incomes in rent is considered affordable, but this isn't the case for many. He says some people are paying up to 40% of their incomes on rent. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why was Jesus baptized? And what does it mean that the Holy Spirit descended on him? In this episode of the More to the Story podcast, I'm joined by Steve Blakemore, theologian, and Murray Vasser, New Testament scholar, for a conversation about one of the most intriguing moments in the Gospels. Together, we explore why Jesus, who Christians confess as sinless, submitted to baptism, and how the Spirit's descent at the Jordan reveals key aspects of Jesus's identity, mission, and relationship to Israel and the Father. This episode invites listeners to move beyond familiar answers and into the deeper theological and biblical meaning of Jesus's baptism, and why it still matters today.Youtube - https://youtu.be/4_OWvi3PkfwAudio - 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.

Sharing joy isn't just a phrase. It's not a slogan. It's a lived experience. It's what happens when someone who once received help becomes someone who helps. It's what happens when hope doesn't stop at relief—but continues through healing, takes root, and then moves outward. Help. Healing. Hope. Helping. That full circle—that's what this season is about. Over the coming weeks, you'll hear stories from people who know that circle intimately. People who came to The Salvation Army at moments when life felt overwhelming, uncertain or broken. People who were met with care, dignity and compassion—and who are now giving back in meaningful, often very ordinary ways. These aren't glossy stories. They're honest ones. Stories of second chances that took time. Stories of dignity restored slowly. Stories where joy didn't erase the hard parts—but grew alongside them. And that matters, because joy isn't about pretending life is easy. Joy is about meaning. It's about discovering that even in the middle of difficulty, something good can take root.

In this podcast, Dr. Chris Lohrstorfer joins me to unpack a frequent misunderstanding in Wesleyan theology: the idea that we simply “have a free will” in the doctrine of salvation.John Wesley and the Methodist tradition do affirm human responsibility and the ability to respond to God—but not through an inherent, independent free will untouched by sin. Instead, Wesley emphasized that sin binds the human will, rendering us unable to turn to God on our own. This is where prevenient grace comes in: God's initiating, enabling grace that goes before us, restoring a measure of freedom so we can graciously respond to His work in Christ.Chris and I walk through this doctrine carefully, aiming to bring clarity to what it truly means to have a grace-enabled response to God's actions on our behalf through the person of Jesus. We address the common error of overemphasizing “free will” without anchoring it in divine grace, and explore how this fits into the broader Wesleyan understanding of salvation.Whether you're exploring Arminian theology, wrestling with questions of predestination and choice, or simply want a clearer picture of Methodist beliefs on freedom and grace, this episode offers thoughtful, biblically grounded insight.I think you'll enjoy this one—tune in for a clarifying discussion on one of the most debated topics in soteriology!Youtube - https://youtu.be/WkN-wqTUTcEAudio - 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.

Send us a textWhat does it take to lead at home when your day job means leading a locker room under stadium lights? We sit down with Coach, Mike Holmgren—legendary coach of the Packers, 49ers, and Seahawks—to talk about love, honesty, and what it really means to leave work at the door. From meeting his wife at 12 to raising four daughters and now cheering for nine grandkids, Coach Holmgren opens up about rhythms that kept his family grounded through late nights, missed holidays, and cross-country flights.Coach shares vivid stories: walking through Lambeau's tailgates, learning to respect a whole state's passion without letting it rule the household, and choosing faith over a city tennis final as a teenager. He breaks down the “coach-to-dad” switch with simple practices—family dinners, a five-minute huddle with his wife before the kids pile in, and a commitment to listen without turning feedback into pressure. We dig into youth sports, the infamous car ride home, and a better script: “I love watching you play.” Along the way, we revisit the sting of injuries and the quiet courage of getting back up when dreams bend, not break.If you're a parent trying to juggle ambition and presence, this conversation gives you a clear playbook: lead with love, tell the truth, ask better questions, and let your kids choose their passions. We also highlight causes close to Coach Holmgren's heart—the Salvation Army's community work and Circlewood's blend of faith and care for the land on Camano Island.

As we begin a new year, we're sharing the joy of a new chapter in the Western Territory. Commissioners James and Sue Betts have stepped into leadership as the new Territorial Commander and Territorial President of Women's Ministries for The Salvation Army's USA Western Territory. After nearly three decades of ministry together—in corps, divisions, the Adult Rehabilitation Centers, and most recently in national leadership—they bring a wealth of experience, a deep love for people, and a contagious joy for serving the Lord. Married for 33 years and officers for 29, they're the proud parents of three adult children—all active in ministry themselves—and grandparents to three energetic grandkids who keep them smiling. Sue holds degrees in psychology and intercultural studies, and Jim in communication, ministry, and business, plus three years of service in the U.S. Army Band. They're loyal Cleveland sports fans, passionate about raising up Christ-centered leaders, and committed to helping people experience the transforming love of Jesus. Today, we'll get to know the Bettses as leaders and as people—hear about the lessons that shaped them, their hopes for the West, and the vision they carry for 2026 and beyond.
