Episode 51 hosts a roundtable discussion with laity and clergy from four UMC conferences across three states who rolled up their sleeves and gave of their time and hearts tohelp with a short-term Emergency Response Team (ERT) trip in Georgia after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

ERTs exist for members to use their gifts and skills to assist after a disaster, providing emotional and spiritual support as an outgrowth of our discipleship. 

“You need some people on the team that know what to do and how to do it and can teach someone else. But anybody can join in doing what we do,” said Pastor Pete Elliott, who serves in the West Ohio Conference and was a member of the team to Georgia.
