This week, we're taking the podcast on the road! Emma Edelman is on location at Camp Grandview, sitting down with members of the summer conservatory staff, Caden Thomas and Tatyana Cummings, for a fun and encouraging conversation about camp life and camp ministry.

From lighthearted rapid-fire questions and favorite camp snacks to heartfelt conversations about why they chose to serve and what they hope campers experience this summer, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the people investing in the next generation.

Whether you've spent years at camp or have never experienced it yourself, this episode is a reminder that camp is so much more than games and cabins—it's a place where lifelong friendships are formed, faith is strengthened, and lives are transformed through the love of Jesus.

In this special solo episode of Youth Down South, Emma Edelman shares encouragement for youth leaders, camp staff, officers, volunteers, and ministry teams serving throughout the summer. Whether your days are packed with camps, VBS, and activities or your schedule feels a little quieter, this episode is a reminder that ministry continues beyond programs and events. From staying connected to young people during the summer months to recognizing the value of everyday conversations and unexpected moments, Emma reflects on the many ways God works through faithful service. Join us for a timely reminder that the seeds you plant today can have an impact for years to come.

In this episode of Youth Down South, host Emma Edelman sits down with Major Anne Westmoreland and special guest Alina Pawar to discuss the exciting new 24/7 Territorial Prayer Initiative launching at Commissioning. Together, they explore the vision behind this territory-wide movement of prayer, its purpose and goals, and how Salvationists of all ages can participate as we journey toward the Territorial Centennial. Listeners will also hear personal insights on the importance of prayer, practical encouragement for helping young people develop a meaningful prayer life, and ways youth leaders can inspire the next generation to seek God faithfully. Whether you're a youth leader, volunteer, officer, parent, or young person, this episode is a powerful reminder that prayer is not just something we do—it is the foundation of everything we are called to be and do.
