    219: When hearts and homes need warming

    In disasters, we often see something remarkable: how communities come together, how neighbors help neighbors, and how hope persists even in the darkest moments. And notably, it’s up to each of us and the little choices we make to keep that spirit of community alive, not just in times of crisis, but every day. Today, I want to share a few stories that capture this perfectly. When we talk about warming hearts and homes, we're talking about more than just physical warmth. It's about creating spaces where people feel seen, heard and cared for. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more. BE AFFIRMED. Get the Good Words email series. JOIN THE HOPEFULS. Get inside the group.

    218: Love Your Nervous System with Dr. Jon Kole

    One of the most powerful tools available to us is our own mindfulness. Dr. Jon Kole is the Medical Director and Senior Director of Psychiatry at Headspace, which calls itself "the mental health app for every moment." From guided meditations to one-on-one coaching, the Headspace team of clinical experts and trained coaches work to offer science-backed care. He’s joining us today to explore how mindfulness and meditation can help us navigate life's challenges, whether we're dealing with disaster recovery or everyday stress. New research shows even small amounts of mindfulness practice can significantly reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Dr. Kole will help us understand the science behind these findings and share practical ways to build resilience through mindfulness. Whether you're processing the trauma of a disaster, supporting others through crisis, feeling very much out in the cold, so to speak, or simply looking for ways to better handle life's daily pressures, this conversation offers hope and practical tools to help you love your nervous system.

    217: A Practical Guide to Family Emergency Planning

    What would you take if you had to evacuate your home?  Are you prepared? A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) found less than half of American households had discussed or developed an emergency plan. After hearing the stories of many families I know having to evacuate with little to no warning, I decided it was time to finally get serious and actually make a plan for our family. And today, we're turning that question into action as we walk through, step by step, the 3P's approach to family emergency preparedness: Plan, Pack and Practice. No fancy gear, no doomsday prepping—just practical, affordable steps that any family can take. Get our Quick Guide to Creating Your Family Emergency Plan here. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more.

    216: Recognizing collective trauma after disaster with Dr. David Eisenman

    In our recent episodes, we've explored what it means to lose home—from the immediate chaos of evacuation to the grief of loss, to the challenging work of supporting a community in crisis.  Today, we're examining the deeper psychological impact of disaster on communities. Dr. David Eisenman has spent more than two decades studying how disasters affect public health and community resilience. As director of UCLA's Center for Public Health and Disasters and a practicing physician, he brings both research insight and frontline experience to our conversation about healing after loss. We discuss how communities can support one another through trauma, what the long-term effects of displacement look like, and how we can build resilience in the face of increasing natural disasters.

    215: Helping Others While Also Experiencing Uncertainty with Captains Nick and Becky Helms

    Help us love beyond disaster at salarmy.us/socalfire. Last week, we explored what home means—those mental souvenirs we collect, the everyday moments that make a space our own, and the devastating impact when that sanctuary is suddenly gone. We heard about The Salvation Army's immediate response to the wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles communities. Understanding, of course, things are changing quickly on the ground—as of this recording, The Salvation Army is serving at multiple area evacuation shelters, meeting physical needs and emotional and spiritual care, or what we like to call a “ministry of presence.” In Pasadena, California, Captains Nick and Becky Helms are adapting to a new kind of ministry. Like many in their congregation, they were forced to evacuate with their four children as the fires approached. As both residents and spiritual leaders in the community, they have a unique perspective on what it means to help others while experiencing the same uncertainty themselves. They join us to share their story and help us understand how we can support those who have lost not just their stuff, but their home. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more.

    214 More Than a House: With Love from Southern California

    Help us love beyond disaster at salarmy.us/socalfire. As wildfires burn across Southern California, The Salvation Army is there. We’re there before, during and after disasters strike and are committed to serving the whole person—physically, emotionally and spiritually. With thousands of structures burned, so many have lost so much.  What would you take if you had to leave?  I’m sure you too have considered this impossible question. Documents. Photos. Jewelry. Medicine. Heirlooms. Clothing. Chargers.  It doesn’t feel like enough. Because there’s stuff, and then there’s home. Yes, the stuff can largely be replaced. What’s not replaceable is home. Come along with me in the back of a Pasadena Police car as we drive through neighborhoods ravaged by the Eaton Fire, and as we consider how we can warm hearts and warm homes in tangible ways for our neighbors in need.  EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more.

    213: How to trust God’s plans for the New Year with Megan Fate Marshman

    What are your plans for the New Year? As we step into 2025, many of us are thinking about resolutions, goals and what lies ahead. But what if planning for the year ahead was less about our own agendas and more about trusting God's plans? In this timely rebroadcast, we're revisiting our conversation with Megan Fate Marshman, who continues to serve as a teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church and the Director of Women’s Ministries at Hume Lake Christian Camps. She recently released a new book, "Relaxed: Walking with the One Who Is Not Worried about a Thing," but her insights from her book "Meant for Good: The Adventure of Trusting God's Plans for You" feel especially relevant as we begin a new year. So listen in as Megan shares in this past conversation how to practically trust God's plans, even when the path isn't clear, and discover why this trust might still be the most important thing you plan for in the new year.

    212 ‘Army of Stars’: A Christmas Time Capsule from 1949

    Welcome to this special presentation of "Army of Stars," a radio program that captured the spirit of giving during the golden age of radio. From the 1930s through the 1990s, this series brought together some of entertainment's brightest stars in support of The Salvation Army's mission. And today, we're traveling back to December 25, 1949, for a particularly memorable Christmas broadcast. Hear from a best-in-class lineup of operatic talent—including Lawrence Tibbett, Kirsten Flagstad, Lisa Albanese and José Berling—a Nativity story reading by Jean Hersholt, beloved by radio audiences as "Dr. Christian," and a message from The Salvation Army's then National Commander Commissioner Ernest Pugmire.   While much has changed since 1949, The Salvation Army's commitment to serving those in need remains constant. So let's return to Christmas Day, 1949, as an Army of Stars salutes The Salvation Army. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more. BE AFFIRMED. Get the Good Words email series.
