What happens when thousands of older adults across America are forced to wait for something as basic as a nutritious meal and a caring visit?

In this important conversation, Loretta McNary sits down with Josh Protas, Chief Advocacy & Policy Officer for Meals on Wheels America, to discuss the growing challenges facing seniors, including hunger, isolation, rising costs, and the increasing demand for services in communities across the country.

Together, they explore the national End the Wait® campaign, why federal support matters, and how each of us can play a role in ensuring our older neighbors are seen, valued, and cared for.

This episode is more than a discussion about food. It is a conversation about dignity, connection, and the responsibility we share to care for one another.

Join us for a thoughtful conversation that will inform, inspire, and remind us that sometimes the most meaningful act of kindness begins with simply showing up.

Guest: Josh Protas, Chief Advocacy & Policy Officer, Meals on Wheels America

What do you do when God’s promises seem delayed, your prayers feel unanswered, and your circumstances challenge everything you believe?

In this powerful message, Loretta McNary explores the Hebrew word QAVAH, a biblical concept that goes far beyond waiting. QAVAH means to hope with expectation, to remain intertwined with God, and to trust Him even when the outcome has not yet appeared.

Through scripture, storytelling, and practical faith principles, you’ll discover how to remain steadfast during seasons of uncertainty, strengthen your faith while you wait, and find purpose in the process.

Featuring powerful biblical examples including Caleb, Hannah, Simeon, Anna, Joseph, and the Woman with the Issue of Blood, this message will encourage you to keep believing, keep preparing, and keep moving forward.

The waiting is not wasted.

The delay is not denial.

God is still working.

Scripture Focus: Isaiah 40:31

Key Takeaway: What God does in us while we wait is often as important as what we are waiting for.
