Welcome to a special episode of the Providence Podcast. Instead of our usual Scripture reflection, we’ll be doing an interview about engagement, service, and working with nonprofits. I know there are a lot of people who want to get involved with making the world a better place, and Godknows we need that! So we’ll be talking about that today – some of the gifts of volunteering and how to follow a call to get involved, whether that’s full time or just the little bit of time you have to give. We’ll talk about how to dealwith overwhelm and burnout, how to figure out what direction to move in, and how service can connect you with a community of other people.
This conversation is part of a larger movement called the Podcast-a-thon. The Podcast-a-thon invites podcasters to interview someone connected with a nonprofitorganization, and so that’s exactly what we’re doing! https://www.podcasthon.org/
For this conversation, I consulted an expert, and one of myown sisters, Sister Alice Gerdeman. Sr. Alice has a background education, community engagement, leadership, and peace and justice work, among other things. She’ll mention the organization Ignite Peace https://ignitepeace.org/ and her work on the Board of Network https://networklobby.org/, among other organizations. She’s a person of many talents, someone who has graced a lot of us with her mentoring and care. I’m sure you’ll appreciate hearing her perspective and her wisdom.
