In this heartwarming episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes certified fundraising dynamo Jennifer Oyer, CFRE, MA, Founder & Chief Joy Officer at Community Impact Advisors. Joy lives and breathes The Fund Raising School's signature mantra: Fundraising is the gentle art of teaching the joy of giving. Broadcasting straight from her home base in Honolulu, Jennifer shares how that single sentence flipped the script on her entire career, and why she's made it the bedrock of her consulting practice at Community Impact Advisors. Spoiler alert: this isn't your average donor pitch session, we're talking full-on joy engineering. Jennifer recounts her early days trying to connect with attorneys who treated meetings like billable hours: short, sharp, and transactional. But when she embraced the idea of inviting them to campus events as guest lecturers or moot court judges, something clicked. By showing, not telling, them the impact of their philanthropy, she turned six-minute chats into six-figure donations. “Fundraisers are creative and innovative,” she explains, “and a mission experience doesn't have to break the bank, it just needs to be meaningful.” The episode dives into a real-world example from her time at the Salvation Army, when a lava disaster on Hawaii Island inspired her team to fly major donors to the site. The result? A powerful, immersive experience that led to transformational giving, and stories still being shared years later. For Jennifer, these aren't just field trips, they're masterclasses in stewardship. As she puts it, the magic happens when you stop chasing revenue and start cultivating relationships that spark joy on both sides of the giving equation. Bill and Jennifer also touch on why this mindset is more vital than ever in today's uncertain times. Whether it's economic anxiety or post-pandemic fatigue, fundraisers must resist the urge to go silent. Jennifer's advice? Never assume your donors are too busy, too broke, or too burdened to care. Instead, bring them into your mission with courage, clarity, and compassion. Because when you help donors align their passions with your purpose, you're not just raising funds, you're delivering joy.

Our world today is in a time of great upheaval. From Russia and the Ukraine, Israel and the Middle East, Iran and North Korea, China and Taiwan, there is intensifying political, military, economic and social instability, as well as in South Africa and the U.K. So where is God when it seems the very foundations of whole nations are shaking? Is there any hope when everything seems hopeless? And how do we cope in times of great change in our personal lives especially when people we knew and loved are no longer with us?   Only this week we in King's Church International have faced a moment of irreversible transition with the passing of one of our well-loved and most faithful pastors. A former atheist, Pastor Terry Beasley served in countless roles for over six decades since becoming a Christian at the age of 16 until his death this week at the age of 79. For so many people, both locally and in other nations, he was part of the ever-dependable fabric of our lives, always willing to help people spiritually, practically and emotionally. He was a wonderful husband to his equally faithful wife Margaret for almost 57 years. He was a devoted father and grandfather, a wise community and church leader and not least he was our Senior Pastor's closest friend since school days and an ever-dependable supporter who helped him through many seasons of life and ministry.    When we lose such sincere, life enhancing people like this, when we see the state of the world around us, it's like experiencing an earthquake when the very ground we have stood on is being shaken. And yet it is at such times that we can find a sure foundation and hope for the future by discovering God and His unshakable kingdom.   Isaiah 6:1-8 begins ‘In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord.' Uzziah, also known as Azariah, was one of Judah's greatest Kings who reigned for 52 years. In the earlier part of his kingship, under the influence of his godly advisor Zechariah, Uzziah was faithful to God and did right in the Lord's eyes. However, Uzziah's success made him proud leading to his downfall and death around 740 BC.   `Pastor Terry in contrast remained faithful to the Lord all his life but now he too has suddenly gone. Yet we, like Isaiah in the time of the removal of someone who had always been part of his life, can also experience what happened to Isaiah. For it was in the very season that the old had ended, something new was happening. In a season of death, new life was emerging. In the time of great darkness, there came new light. What Isaiah experienced in a year of major change gave him a whole new perception of the condition of his own life and about the future direction of his life.  1. He had a new vision of God (Isaiah 6:1; Job 26:9; Psalm 9:4-7; Lamentations 5:19; Ezekiel 1:26; Daniel 7:9; Revelation 4:1-11; Isaiah 6:2-4) 2. He had a life changing encounter with God (Isaiah 6:5-7; John 16:8; 1 John 1:9) 3. He received and obeyed a strong call from God (Isaiah 6:8-9) Apply  1. He had a new vision of God. He had a vision of God who is high above everything (Isaiah 6:1). The God of the Bible is far above every other power and ruler. He is God Almighty, the ‘great God' that Handel said he glimpsed as he wrote The Messiah. This awesome God is the ultimate and eternal authority over all creation: the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Like Isaiah, many people in the Bible who had a vision of God in heaven spoke of God's throne (Job 26:9; David in Psalm 9:4-7; Jeremiah in Lamentations 5:19; Ezekiel 1:26; Daniel 7:9; & the Apostle John in Revelation 4:1-11). Isaiah may have been depressed or discouraged because a great leader of Judah was no longer on the throne. But then Isaiah had a vision of God in heaven. Despite Uzziah no longer being on his throne, God was still on His. And that remains true today in every changing circumstance of life. For always the Lord reigns over all. He also had a vision of a Holy God (Isaiah 6:2-4). Isaiah had a revelation of heavenly beings who constantly spoke of the holiness and glory of God. The name seraphim means “burning ones.” Holiness means that God is set apart from any other being by His perfection and purity. Holiness in the Bible refers to a majestic God whose character is without any flaw and whose awesome presence changes everything and everyone who experiences it. Just one experience, even one glimpse of a holy God, will change your whole life and perspective, just as it changed Isaiah's.  2. He had a life changing encounter with God. He saw what a sinner he was (Isaiah 6:5-7). When Isaiah saw the intense brightness of a holy God, he suddenly felt very dirty. Any self-righteousness he may have had was immediately stripped away. He felt that he was ruined because he was so unclean and living among people who were so unclean. This awareness and confession of sin is essential if we are to find God, and is one of the roles of the Holy Spirit (John 16:8). You cannot find God when you try to make out how good you are, but only when you recognise how bad you are and how great is your need of God to make you clean. In the same moment Isaiah admitted how sinful he was, he discovered how God could remove his sin, and experienced great forgiveness and cleansing (Isaiah 6:6-7). Isaiah had a powerful experience of being forgiven and freed from guilt. He discovered what the Bible calls grace. That's why Jesus, God in human form, came to shed His pure blood so that we could all be cleaned up on the inside and come to know friendship and fellowship with a holy God (1 John 1:9). Not only can we be washed clean by the blood of Jesus, we can also be touched in our lives and the words of our lips by the fire of the Holy Spirit just as the first disciples experienced on the Day of Pentecost. William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, prayed ‘God of burning cleansing fire' give us ‘strength to ever do the right and power to walk the world in white.' The Salvation Army logo has long been Blood and Fire. Every one of us needs a pivotal encounter with God that William Booth and Isaiah experienced.  3. He received and obeyed a strong call from God. He heard God calling for people to represent Him (Isaiah 6:8). God was looking to recruit Isaiah to represent Him and to go and speak to his generation for Him. Isaiah was given the clear and tough task of proclaiming coming judgement to a rebellious and God-rejecting nation. It was a far from popular message, but God wanted to give every opportunity to those who would listen and repent. Isaiah's response to this great challenge was positive, deciding to obey the call of God on his life (Isaiah 6:8-9). Isaiah made himself totally available to God, committing to be sent, to go, do and say what God wanted. Today in this turbulent moment of history in our nation and in the nations, God is calling to every one of His followers to be fully dedicated to Him. Will you be a man or woman to answer the call of God? Will you as young people become unashamed ambassadors to your generation? Will you stand in the gap to carry the gospel torch that Pastor Terry has now laid down? Will you faithfully tell the good news of Jesus? Will you be a preacher, teacher, pastor or evangelist? Will you be His representative in your home, neighbourhood, workplace and society? Will you say ‘Lord here I am, send me'?

The Minnesota Twins and The Salvation Army today are announcing plans for an in-game radiothon benefitting the non profit. Dan Furry details what is ahead and how you can help.

Today, we're covering one of America's most pressing challenges: homelessness. But this isn't an episode drowning you in statistics. Instead, we're going to explore real solutions happening right now across the western United States—ways The Salvation Army is helping to truly change lives, one person at a time. Of course, the numbers are sobering. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, homelessness increased by 18 percent between 2023 and 2024. That's approximately 770,000 people experiencing homelessness in our country. But behind every statistic is a person's story, and that's what we're focusing on today. Christopher Hogan, The Salvation Army's Territorial Social Services Director for the Western Territory, puts it perfectly: addressing homelessness requires "programs of excellence" that combine spiritual care, best practices, clear purpose, strong operations and meaningful outcomes. He wrote a piece on how The Salvation Army is ensuring excellence in our recent issue of Caring Magazine, themed “Hope in Action,” which you can find at caringmagazine.org/hope. So what does it look like in practice? Let me take you on a journey from Alaska to Arizona, showcasing nine different approaches that are working. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more.

We start in 2 Timothy 1:5: “…when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.“Today in South Africa, we remember National Women's Day. I want to pay tribute today to the women. Lois and Eunice are not names that are used a lot in this day and age, but Lois was Timothy's grandmother, and Eunice was Timothy's mother, and these two ladies had a profound influence on the apostle Timothy's life. Installed by the power of the Holy Spirit, Timothy had faith, so much so that the great apostle Paul mentioned it. He said, “That faith is also in you.”I want to say today to the men, we need to love our women. In fact, that's what the word says. It says, “Women submit to your husbands, but husbands, love your wives.” We need to treat them in a very special way because we need to respect them as handmaidens of the Lord. You know that Mary Magdalene was a huge influence on Jesus' life. She was so faithful. She remained faithful to Jesus when all the disciples ran away and forsook Him. She never left His side.I want to tell you a little story. My mother told me that when I was a newly born baby, I don't think I was two or three months old, I had a digestive problem where the food could not go into my stomach. She took me to the doctors. They put me in hospital. Eventually, I lost so much weight that I was skin and bone. The doctor said to my mother, ”Take him home because there's nothing more we can do for him. Take him home to die.” But my mother persisted, she never gave up, she prayed. She kept on putting those bottles of milk into my stomach and I kept bringing them up until one day, and she'll never forget it, she gave me a bottle of milk and it never came up and that was the beginning of the rest of my life. My mother, what a wonderful woman of God. I had the privilege of leading her to Jesus Christ. Women have incredible resilience, strength, and determination.You know the founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth said, ”My best soldiers are women.” Today ladies, we want to respect you, honour you, and tell you that we love you and that we could not live without you.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

In this episode, we speak with two leaders in philanthropy. Lee Ernst is Chief Executive Officer and Senior Consultant at Johnson, Grossnickle and Associates, where she leads strategic partnerships and new product development while advising nonprofit clients across education, the arts, and social services. Her career spans major institutions, including a leadership role at the University of Chicago during the institution's $2 billion campaign, and the Salvation Army's Chicago Division. She is a past chair of The Giving Institute's Summer Symposium and a member of the Communications Task Force for The Generosity Commission. Ted Grossnickle serves as chair of the JGA board of directors, as managing counsel to several clients, and as a mentor to staff. He has received numerous honors and awards for his achievements, including the Henry A. Rosso Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Ethical Fundraising. He currently serves as a member and is a former chair of the Giving Institute, is counselor to The Generosity Commission, and is past board chair and current member of the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy Board of Visitors. In this conversation, we explore their careers, their shared values, and their vision for the future of philanthropy—and along the way, discover a personal connection that makes this story even more meaningful.

[DONATE] This episode of The Collective US podcast from Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency focuses on the devastating March 2025 ice storms in Northern Michigan and the community's response. Hosts Erica Austin and Ryan Buck speak with Emmet County Emergency Management Coordinator Matt Blythe, Emmet County Recycling's Lindsay Walker, and NMCAA Housing & Energy Efficiency Services Director Tish Stave.The guests describe how advance warnings from the National Weather Service prompted limited pre-storm coordination with partners like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. The first wave seemed typical, but a second wave brought heavy ice, high winds, massive tree loss (millions in Emmet County), widespread power outages, and dangerous road conditions. Nearly 88% of roads closed, critical facilities like hospitals and jails lost generator power, and fuel shortages forced emergency vehicles to refuel far from the county.Response efforts included opening 11 shelters (including the casino), conducting wellness checks, clearing roads for medical transport, and coordinating food and water distribution. Volunteer amateur radio operators provided field reports when other communications failed. Walker's role focused on debris management, securing contractors to process wood waste for biomass energy, and exploring better food waste recovery methods. Stave described flexible local grant funds that helped residents with uninsured or underinsured losses, from roof and window repairs to replacing a broken well pump or car windshield.Long-term recovery needs include homeowner debris removal support, better generator access for critical facilities, stronger communication systems, and planning for food preservation during extended outages. Guests emphasized Northern Michigan's resilience, neighbor-to-neighbor help, and the value of partnerships between local government, nonprofits, faith groups, businesses, and volunteers. They also urged residents to prepare with basic supplies, communication plans, and a willingness to seek available help.Months later, debris cleanup continues, biomass facilities have reached capacity, and grant programs remain open for affected households. The episode closes on the importance of improving preparedness, strengthening recovery systems, and mobilizing community volunteers to restore parks, trails, and natural areas.

In the lead-up to the Defeat of Jesse James Days, each year we have the opportunity to meet with the Ambassador candidates. About the Program:The Defeat of Jesse James Days Ambassador Scholarship Program is designed to provide young people an opportunity to learn lifelong skills of public speaking, interviewing, volunteering, networking and learning a lot about Northfield's favorite celebration! The three ambassadors that are selected spend the entire year making over 100 appearances throughout Southern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. Their “job” consists of 1) promoting and raising wareness about Northfield and DJJD by attending other festivals, coronations and parades, 2) promoting volunteerism at organizations such as Salvation Army, Feed My Starving Children, and Special Olympics as well as many local groups such as Laura Baker Services Assn, Three Links Care Center, Give Cancer The Boot, and Northfield Retirement Community, and 3) making valuable networking associations with other communities while developing as leaders that serve as positive role models. At the completion of their year, each will receive a $2,500 scholarship, and one will be selected to spend a weekend at St Paul Winter Carnival and then almost a week at Minneapolis Aquatennial, vying for a title which is also an educational scholarship opportunity with a deep commitment to community & volunteerism.

Lately, here on this show, we're exploring what happens when hope moves from feeling to doing, from possibility to practice. And today, we're continuing our journey inside one of The Salvation Army's recent transformations: Hope Markets. As we covered in our recent “Hope in Action” issue of the magazine, these aren't your typical food pantries. In Hope Markets across the Northwest, people don't receive pre-packed boxes—they shop for their own groceries, selecting fresh produce under gentle misters, browsing grocery-style shelves and building relationships along the way. It's meeting need in a more personal way when the need is great. Right now, more than 47 million people in the U.S. face hunger, including 1 in 5 children, according to the USDA. And in one recent year alone, more than 50 million people turned to charitable food assistance for extra help. Across the Northwest Division, Hope Markets served more than 457,000 people in 2024.   But to understand the real impact of this model, we need to talk with someone who's lived both sides of the experience. Stacy Bleuel is the Social Services Coordinator at The Salvation Army in Puyallup, Washington. Years ago, she arrived at their doors—not as an employee, but as someone seeking help. Homeless, grieving and struggling to care for her three children, Stacy came through a state assistance program. Today, she runs the Hope Market in the very place that once helped her rebuild her life. And her journey from Salvation Army food recipient to janitor to program coordinator isn't just inspiring—it's a living example of what's possible when we create spaces where hope is both given and received.

A housing spokesperson warns homelessness is the worst it's been in several years. The Government is seeking urgent advice as communities report rises in rough sleeping across the nation. Auckland outreach providers alone reported a 90 percent spike in homelessness. Salvation Army Senior Policy Analyst Paul Barber says it could come from issues with both resourcing and delivery. He suggests a solution could be re-investing the hundreds-of-millions of dollars taken out of emergency housing support. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we're heading to Long Beach, California, to talk to someone with a unique perspective on youth programming. Captain Jared Arnold runs The Salvation Army Red Shield Community Center, and he recently caught my attention when he said, "Summer is our Christmas." Now, when most of us think about summer, we might think about vacations, beach days or maybe just trying to keep the kids entertained. But for Captain Arnold and his team, summer represents something much more profound. While school is out and many families are scrambling to figure out childcare, the Long Beach Red Shield becomes a hub of activity serving kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. Their summer day camp runs from June through August, providing not just a safe place for children, but a launching pad for growth, learning and character development. But this isn't just about keeping kids busy. The Red Shield operates year-round programming that includes everything from homework assistance and technology labs to 3D printing classes and partnerships with the LA Rams for flag football. They're serving multiple generations—from young children to seniors—creating what Captain Arnold calls a truly intergenerational community space. Serving communities that include Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, Hawaiian Gardens and Avalon, they've made their programs intentionally accessible to diverse neighborhoods with varying needs. So I wanted to understand: How do you create programming that truly serves everyone? What does it mean when summer becomes your Christmas? And what happens in the daily life of a community center that's touching multiple generations? Today, we're getting an inside look at the energy, the programs and the victories—from puzzles to pickleball, from senior programming to youth development, and how one community center is working to ensure that every person who walks through the doors knows they matter.

SALVATION ARMY LT. SEAN PEASE TRT: 19:04 SUMMER CAMP

Want to hear some encouraging news that's emerging from communities across America? After years of declining volunteer participation—a trend that accelerated during the pandemic—researchers are documenting what they're calling a "volunteer rebound." The numbers are striking. Nearly 30 percent of Americans formally volunteered from 2022 to 2023, contributing almost 5 billion hours of service. That's a return to pre-pandemic levels, and in some places, volunteer participation is reaching heights we haven't seen in years. But this isn't just about getting back to where we were. Something deeper is happening. We're seeing new forms of volunteering emerge—virtual opportunities that make service accessible to people who couldn't participate before. We're witnessing dramatic growth in some locations, like one Salvation Army center that saw a 162 percent increase in volunteers across three years. And perhaps most meaningfully, we're seeing more people who once received help returning to serve others. To help us understand what's driving this volunteer rebound and what it means for communities across the West, I'm joined by two guests today: Hillary Jackson is the Managing Editor for Caring Magazine, and recently reported on this trend, and Adriana Thiele is the Director of Volunteers and Community Engagement for The Salvation Army in San Diego.   We'll explore not just the numbers behind this rebound, but the stories—how volunteering is becoming a pathway to healing, how people are finding new ways to serve and how communities are becoming more resilient as a result. We'll also look at some innovative approaches, from disaster response training to virtual volunteering opportunities that are expanding who can participate in meaningful service. Whether you're already volunteering, thinking about getting involved, or simply curious about this trend that's quietly on the rise, this episode will give you insight into how people just like you are choosing to be part of extraordinary change.

It won't come as a surprise to you that hundreds of thousands of veterans across America are affected by trauma—some from their time in military service, though not all—and yet, their needs remain deeply misunderstood by many of us who haven't served. Not all veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder, and yet many do—in fact, some 29 percent of veterans who served in Iraq experience it at some point in their lives. Others face issues similar to those of the general population, from mental illness to substance abuse and even childhood experiences. The need is not one-size-fits-all or even most, and the path to healing looks different for everyone too. That's what Chaplain Nate Lyons from The Salvation Army Veterans and Family Center in Beaverton, Oregon, helps us understand on this episode. As an Iraq war veteran himself, Nate now serves as chaplain and activities coordinator for some 72 veterans and their families who are on their own journeys toward healing. And today, Nate is taking us inside this special place of veteran care.  Whether you're a veteran yourself, love someone who has served, or simply want to understand how some approaches to trauma recovery are changing lives, this conversation is going to challenge how you think about healing, hope and the power of community.

Is your PlayStation 5 about to break? Probably not, but speculation is increasingly circulating suggesting that the old run of PS5s -- pre-Slim and pre-Pro -- may start running into a 'liquid metal' problem that's causing issues for some players.

Then: The other news of the week, including Hellblade II's PS5 release date, rumors of RPG progression systems in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, PlayStation Plus turns 15, SEGA accidentally leaks a ton of sales data, and more.
