Loneliness, trauma, abuse, and addiction are among the few problems that millions face on a regular basis. Today we invite Sharon on the Collage Podcast, who shares how she keeps going when she feels the world has failed her.
Most people would willingly volunteer to help someone who is temporarily misplaced by having their home destroyed in a storm. But when someone is homeless a result of abusive relationships, financial hardship, addiction, or mental health disorders, many are not willing to help. Jeff and Nancy discuss how homelessness and poverty, like a natural disaster, are dire emergencies that require help from our entire community. They also go over a tonal shift at "Feed My Sheep" regarding how we approach long-term aid for individuals.
If a homeless friend suffering from a drug addiction asks you for $20 to make it through the week, will your $20 fully address their needs? The truth is that a financial contribution is only a small part of the help they need. An effort to help members of our community should be unselfish and Christlike. Jeff and Nancy, along with a new guest, Chris, share their interpretations of John 21:17, the core principle of Feed My Sheep, and how we can implement it into service of people below the poverty line.
Jeff and Nancy recall experiences with friends they have made through serving at Feed My Sheep.

Today we sit down with members of Leadership Temple, an organization devoted to service, helping people become leaders in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

So we assess the difference between good and bad leaders, and what we need to do to better ourselves for leading.
Making difficult decisions is part of leadership. Sometimes we face situations that seem like there may not be a solution, or at least a positive one. So what do you do?
