    Building a Creative Nonprofit with Jacob Niemeier

    Building a Creative Nonprofit with Jacob Niemeier

    "I just felt this itch..."

    Jacob Niemeier had a great, stable life. He had a job in his field that earned him a comfortable wage, a satisfying living situation, and lots of friends with whom he could hang out on the weekends. Deep down, though, something was calling him to do more. To do something scary. To take a risk.

    Jacob was positive that God was calling him to start his own nonprofit and spend his days creating sustainable water solutions for underprivileged communities.  Jacob was NOT immediately positive he wanted to answer that call.

    In this episode, Emmeline sits down with the Founder and CEO of Vera Aqua Vera Vita, Jacob Niemeier, to talk about his path to nonprofit entrepreneurship. Jacob shares the risks he took, the faith he had, and the challenge of answering a call once we feel it. He also has tips for searching for and seizing opportunities! The two also discuss the importance of purpose and community--and lament the limitations of the social definition of "creativity."

    Paul Granger, Where Did You See God? Resilience in Life and Leadership Episode 043

    Paul Granger, Where Did You See God? Resilience in Life and Leadership Episode 043

    Stephanie has a fabulous conversation with Paul Granger. Eye opening and encouraging!

    When asked who he is, Paul likes to say "a child of God and ambassador of Christ",  because he's learned that these elements of his identity supersede and shape the rest.  One of the ways God has invited him to live out the call to "love God and love others" is through the "shepherding gift": providing pastoral support, creating space for conversation and community, and advocating for those that may go unseen.

    Functionally, he has spent the last two decades serving with various ministries, and now serves full time alongside YWAM in loving his neighbors in authentic ways.  He also loves to create, whether it is his podcast "Where did you see God", writings, or videos.  He loves spending time with his wife and kids, and they see their home -- which God gave them in a crazy way -- as an important piece of how they love their neighbors as a lifestyle.

    EP 49: Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Is Fighting For Lyme Warriors with Bennett Nemser

    EP 49: Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Is Fighting For Lyme Warriors with Bennett Nemser

    This week on the Heal Podcast we sat down with Bennett Nemser, the Senior Program Officer at the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, to talk about the initiatives he is working on, how the foundation has dispersed over $60 million dollars in grants since 2015, and his new work on the LymeX initiative. Nemser is the director of the foundation's Lyme and Tick-Borne disease initiative and looks over the grants awarded by the foundation to candidates.

    Tune in to learn how the Cohen Foundation is the #1 donor to the Lyme community, what the LymeX Innovation Accelerator is, and why it's imperative to get better diagnostic and treatment opportunities for Lyme patients. 

    Editor's Note: In the episode, we talk about the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group. The 21st Century Cures Act, enacted in December 2016, authorizes the HHS Secretary to establish a Tick-Borne Disease Working Group to serve as a Federal Advisory Committee.  The Tick-Borne Disease Working Group has 14 members - seven federal members and seven public members - with diverse disciplines and views pertaining to tick-borne diseases. The Act charges the Working Group to provide a report to Congress and the HHS Secretary on its findings and any recommendations every two years.

    This episode was sponsored by Air Oasis. The air quality in your home is worse than the air outside,  As a Lyme warrior, it is important to have clean air in the home. I’ve been using a room air purifier but recently invested in an all-home unit from Air Oasis to combat mold issues. Their air purifiers help fight bacteria, viruses, and mold.
