168: CrossTalk- The Salvation Army USA East History

In this episode of Cross Talk at the Kroc, Jonathan Raymer sits down with Rob Jeffery, Heritage Museum Director for the Salvation Army’s Eastern Territory, to explore the bold, faith-filled beginnings of the Army in America. From Eliza Shirley’s courageous launch in Pennsylvania to the Hallelujah Lassies, Slum Sisters, Evangeline Booth’s leadership, and the legacy of the Doughnut Girls, this conversation traces how the Salvation Army met human need with creativity, conviction, and Gospel-centered action. It’s a compelling reminder that our history isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about fueling today’s mission to love radically, serve faithfully, and advance God’s Kingdom where it’s needed most.https://linktr.ee/crosstalkatthekroc
