Praise in Action with Juliana Stachurski of One Generation Away

Two of Juliana Stachurski’s boys needed service hours for school. Juliana found the perfect non-profit to take them one Saturday that would meet the exact requirement, so they could check it of their list and be done. Little did Juliana know that her life would be forever changed.

Juliana is now on the board of One Generation Away after joining the team every Saturday to distribute food since 2016. She shares stories of heartbreaking joy and the clear call to serve (and receive abundantly in return).

Juliana encourages listeners to do "praise in action" and be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. Serving another is always a good thing and invites the Holy Spirit to transform and work through us. 

One Generation Away helps remove food insecurity through food rescue, food distribution and disaster relief. They pick up good, unexpired food and redistrubute it to families in need. Their vision is "to wipe hunger off the face of America by teaching people to love one another through service." Learn more at: https://onegenaway.com.

Reaching for Relationships with Erin McCole Cupp of Filled with Good

Erin McCole Cupp shares her journey with food addiction--she began using food as her primary coping mechanism in dealing with childhood trauma.

Erin experienced profound healing through Catholics in Recovery and JP II’s Theology of the Body. It was then that Erin began to reach for relationships rather than food. 

In addition to her own food addiction, Erin explores the many things we reach for compulsively that lead to isolation. Erin encourages us to reach to God and safe relationships to satiate the deepest needs of connection that God designed us for.

Erin’s great personal healing has also had a positive impact on her relationships with her family—Erin focuses on engaging in quality time and communication with those she loves. 

You can reach Erin at erinmccolecupp.com and learn all about her program, Filled with Good.
