You know that Sunday morning feeling when your volunteer team shows up, serves faithfully, and then disappears until next week? They're there physically, but something's missing. The connection. The camaraderie. The sense that you're all running this race together. I've been there. I've led teams where people showed up like clockwork but felt more like hired help than family. And here's what I've learned: volunteer teams don't just need coordination: they need genuine, faith-

When the Headlines Feel Quiet Here's an honest truth about this morning: while the world certainly kept spinning: somewhere someone got married, a baby was born, a treaty was negotiated, and bread was broken: the major wire services haven't reported anything that qualifies as breaking news that reshapes our understanding of the world.

Before you spiral into worry or doom-scroll until dinner, let's take a breath together and walk through what's actually happening. Here at The McReport, we believe you deserve the news without the noise: the facts without the fear-mongering. So grab your coffee (or your third cup, no judgment), and let's look at three major stories shaping today w

Every morning, the news cycle hits us like a fire hose: headlines screaming, notifications buzzing, algorithms pushing whatever gets the most clicks. But some of the stories that matter most for our peace and our prayers never make it to the top of your feed. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on three developments from this week that flew under the radar. They don't come with viral videos or celebrity reactions, but they're quietly shaping the conditions for conflict or p
