    172: CrossTalk: Rest For The Rest Of Us

    In this episode of Cross Talk at the Kroc, JonathanRaymer sits down with Lt. Colonel Tim Foley to unpack the often-overlooked spiritual discipline of Sabbath. From ministry burnout to the myth of nonstop productivity, they explore why rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a command and a gift. With wisdom, humor, and real-life stories, this conversation reframes Sabbath as intentional space to reconnect with God, rediscover joy, and serve from a place of wholeness rather than exhaustion. https://linktr.ee/crosstalkatthekroc

    170: Crosstalk- The Salvation Army USA West History

    In this episode of Cross Talk at the Kroc, host Jonathan Raymer heads west to explore the bold, unconventional beginnings of the Salvation Army’s Western Territory with special guest Lt. Colonel Don McDougald. From laypeople launching the Army in San Francisco, to the birth of the iconic Red Kettle, early disaster response during the San Francisco earthquake, and unforgettable ministries like the Charioteers, Alcatraz prison outreach, and courageous legal battles for gospel freedom, this conversation highlights a legacy marked by innovation, holy boldness, and meeting human need wherever it existed. It’s a powerful look at how God used faith-filled pioneers to shape ministry in the wide-open West—and a challenge for today’s Salvation Army to carry that same courage forward. https://linktr.ee/crosstalkatthekroc

    169: CrossTalk- The Salvation Army USA South History

    In this episode of CrossTalk at the Kroc, we dive deep into the rich and often untold history of the Salvation Army in the American South with special guest Michael Nagy, Director of the Salvation Army Southern Historical Center. From the Army’s earliest days spreading through rail lines and port cities, to the formation of the Southern Territory in 1927, this conversation unpacks how faith, grit, and innovation shaped ministry in a region marked by rural life, disaster response, and deep spiritual need. Along the way, we explore the Mountain Mission, hurricane relief, global impact in places like Mexico and Guatemala, and how God has continually used the Salvation Army to meet human need without discrimination. This is a powerful reminder that understanding our past fuels our mission for the future. https://linktr.ee/crosstalkatthekroc
