Rhythm of Life & Church Part 1B

This is the second episode of part one of our new mini-series that focuses on finding a healthy rhythm in our lives. (Make sure you listen to the previous episode before this one!) We are again joined by Jeremy & Danielle Rowland and Melissa Powell as we talk about creating a healthy rhythm in our lives. How do we balance family, work, and volunteering at the corps? What are key things we need to do to ensure our spiritual walk is healthy and strong? How do we get past the ‘shame game’ (shaming ourselves) when we know we need to take a step back or simply say ‘no’? How do we give enough of ourselves to our family, our job, and our church?

We are starting a new mini-series that focuses on finding a healthy rhythm in our lives. The first part of the series is broken into two episodes, and this is part one. We are joined by Jeremy & Danielle Rowland and Melissa Powell as we talk about creating a healthy rhythm in our lives. How do we balance family, work, and volunteering at the corps? What are key things we need to do to ensure our spiritual walk is healthy and strong? How do we get past the ‘shame game’ (shaming ourselves) when we know we need to take a step back or simply say ‘no’? How do we give enough of ourselves to our family, our job, and our church?

Resources for Every Season

In this episode we talk about a bunch of new resources that are available now (or coming soon) from the THQ youth department! Specifically, resources for Valentine's Day, Lent & Easter, and VBS! We are hoping to make your life easier by giving you tools that you can use in your corps or unit. You don't want to miss all of this information!

Red Shield Youth Centers

New Year, Same God

Happy New Year! In this episode the entire THQ Youth Department joins us as we offer some words of wisdom and encouragement at the start of 2025!

All Is Calm

Merry Christmas! On this episode we are joined by two very special guests - Commissioners Kelly & Donna Igleheart. They share a Christmas message with our listeners.

Naughty or Nice?

In this third and final episode of our 3-part mini Christmas series we are talking about Christmas movies! We look at the top ten movies, as well as the ones with the terrible reviews. Our guests this week are Major Matt Satterlee and Chris Flanagan - who are both movie experts! You don't want to miss this episode - there are definitely some controversial opinions. As Major Matt quotes (he thinks from a president), "Opinions are like armpits, everyone has them but some of them stink!" Enjoy!

Deck the What Now?

In this second episode of our 3-part mini Christmas series we are taking a look at Christmas decorations – the ones we love and the ones that should never have been invented. Majors Jay and Jamie Spalding, the Divisional Youth Secretaries from the North and South Carolina Division are our special guests. We have a lot of fun talking about the most popular decorations, as well as those that people really can't stand! We also talk about how we can be intentional about including Christ in our décor.

Fa La La La La

This is the first part of our 3-episode mini Christmas series! We are having some fun talking about Christmas music – what we love, what we don't love... debating the top 10 list. We are joined by three of our awesome DMD's - Matt Broome (TX), Darryl Crossland (FL), and Daniel Meeks (GA). We are also reminded about the important role music plays during the Holiday season - especially as we witness to others and share the story of Christmas.

Eye Rolls Prohibited

In this episode we talk about creative ways to engage teens in programs and activities throughout the holiday season and the entire year. How do we make authentic connections with our teens? How do we ensure that we are being inclusive (and not only focus on the younger children and assume teens will enjoy the same activities)? We offer suggestions on how to make sure they stay connected to the corps, and how to build lasting relationships with them.
