Responding to Natural Disasters: 2025 LA Fires

In this episode, the Salty Talk team dives into what it really looks like when churches come together to respond to crisis—specifically wildfires in Southern California. Guest Paula from Shepherd Church shares how her team mobilized local churches, nonprofits, and even government leaders to serve families affected by the fires. The conversation explores the beauty and challenges of disaster relief work and how critical pre-existing partnerships are when quick, coordinated responses are needed most.

This isn’t just about rebuilding homes; it’s about reimagining how the Church collaborates, leads, and serves in times of real need. From fundraising miracles to humanizing relief efforts, this episode offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a glimpse into how churches across all sizes and denominations can work together as the hands and feet of Jesus.
