213: How to trust God’s plans for the New Year with Megan Fate Marshman
12/30/24 • 35 min
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.

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.
