No Brian, No Problem
Description
Our guests are Jaime Buxton, Anna Nagirnyak, and Jen Andrews from The City Mission (thecitymission.org).
What does volunteering really look like? And what are the myths we need to leave behind? The team from The City Mission joins us to talk about meaningful, healthy, and impactful ways individuals, families, small groups, and entire churches can serve neighbors experiencing homelessness.
We unpack what volunteering is—showing up consistently, building trust, meeting real needs—and what it is not—savior complexes, quick fixes, or checking a box. Jaime, Anna, and Jen share powerful insight into how everyday people can make a difference, how to get started, and how to serve with dignity, empathy, and purpose.
