Listen "The Los Angeles Wildfires"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we talk about the heartbreaking reality of California's wildfires as Pastor Mark is in the middle of the disaster in Venice, CA—& how you can help.
Over 12,000 homes and structures have been reduced to ashes, leaving tens of thousands of people displaced, grieving, and facing unimaginable loss.
Pastor Mark shares raw, personal stories of heartbreak and resilience—from families who lost everything without insurance to the overwhelming community response pouring in supplies, shelter, and love. But the journey to recovery is far from over. The emotional scars, the housing crisis, and financial devastation will linger for months and years to come.
This is a call for compassion and action. As the media shifts focus, these communities still need us. Pastor Mark emphasizes the importance of staying committed to helping, advocating for accountability, and supporting long-term recovery efforts.
“Your life is a better sermon than I'll ever preach. You are living this out—this dependence on God, this trust in Him.” — Pastor Mark

• The scale of destruction and the emotional toll on survivors.
