Episode 34 - Poverty, Pregnancy Centers & Lasting Help with Nathan Mayo

What if helping someone today could also help them build a future where they no longer need the same help?In Episode 33 of Lifeline for Leaders, we sit down with Nathan Mayo, Vice President of Programs at True Charity, to explore the connection between poverty, ministry, and the work of pregnancy care centers.Nathan shares why ministries can sometimes become focused on crisis relief without creating a pathway toward long-term development. He explains True Charity’s approach to helping people move toward dignity and lasting stability—and why relationships, accountability, measurable outcomes, and strong community partnerships matter.We also talk about the connection between chronic poverty and abortion, how pregnancy resource centers can address deeper issues without losing their core mission, and why they don't have to do everything themselves. Sometimes the answer is building the right partnerships and connecting people to resources already available in the community.Nathan leaves us with a powerful question: “How are we helping them not need us in the future?”Connect with True Charity: https://truecharity.us/🎧 Listen to Lifeline for Leaders on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.▶️ Subscribe on YouTube for new episodes and leadership insights.💼 Follow Lifeline for Leaders on LinkedIn for resources, encouragement, and conversations that equip leaders to serve with courage and compassion.
