170: Crosstalk- The Salvation Army USA West History

In this episode of Cross Talk at the Kroc, host Jonathan Raymer heads west to explore the bold, unconventional beginnings of the Salvation Army’s Western Territory with special guest Lt. Colonel Don McDougald. From laypeople launching the Army in San Francisco, to the birth of the iconic Red Kettle, early disaster response during the San Francisco earthquake, and unforgettable ministries like the Charioteers, Alcatraz prison outreach, and courageous legal battles for gospel freedom, this conversation highlights a legacy marked by innovation, holy boldness, and meeting human need wherever it existed. It’s a powerful look at how God used faith-filled pioneers to shape ministry in the wide-open West—and a challenge for today’s Salvation Army to carry that same courage forward.https://linktr.ee/crosstalkatthekroc
