One week has passed since the second historic hurricane in two weeks hit the Southeastern United States. Much has been done to provide hurricane relief to those most impacted by the storms. But restoration and recovery is far from complete.
In this short video, David Wollen shares what he saw in Florida less than 48 hours after Milton made landfall. While this only shows you a small corner of the devastation left by two of the most powerful hurricanes in recent history, the support you give to Hurricane Relief here reaches far beyond the area surrounding Tampa Bay—you are also providing necessary aid to survivors throughout the Southeastern United States.
Your gift today can help share the hope of Christ tangibly and spiritually.

How Jesus Rescues Us from Our Shame
What are you ashamed of? If you're like most people, a blunt question like this has the power to resurface long-ago-buried memories of wrongdoing. It doesn't even matter whether you were caught or got away with it, shame can stay with us for many years—and yet it is too often ignored and unresolved.
On today's episode of the Great Stories podcast, David Wollen and his wife, Marci, are joined by author and counselor Heather Davis Nelson. In this conversation, they discuss the destructive force shame can have on the life of a believer, how it is as old as sin itself, and how Jesus ultimately redeems us and rescues us.

The Story Behind the Haven of Rest
It all started on an early foggy morning in 1934, when Paul Myers, a former Los Angeles radio personality and station manager of leading radio stations woke up near a wharf in San Diego. Hungover, he heard the sound of a ship’s bell ring out eight times at 4:00 a.m., signaling “all’s well.”
Only one month later, Myers would be back on the radio, but this time, sharing his newfound faith in Jesus. What happened in between is the extraordinary story of how Myers would go on to found a Christian radio program that continues till this day. At that point, it was called “Haven of Rest,” and Paul Myers would endearingly become known as First Mate Bob. Now, 90 years later, that ministry is called Haven Today — the very same ministry publishing this podcast.
Hear Paul Myers tell this story in his own words. It’s also our story here at Haven Ministries. We pray this episode of Great Stories will serve as a reminder that the Lord is in the business of redeeming sinners and using them to go on to do great things for the Kingdom.

Max McLean Gives C.S. Lewis A Voice for Today
"The most important aspect of Lewis's writings is the centrality of Christ.
It all hinges on Jesus. Is He who he says he is? If His statements are false, Christianity is of no importance. If true, it is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important. And that's the central statement that convinced Lewis. The significance of who Jesus is." — Max McLean
