Transcript: Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. Representative John Lewis was a legend in his time and one of the most important civil rights leaders of ours. As a young man, he led the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the group responsible for organizing the numerous student-led sit-ins against racial segregation. At just 23 years-of-age he joined Martin Luther King on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial as one of the youngest organizers and speakers at the 1963 Civil Rights March. Later in 1965 he helped lead the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. Sadly, this event became known as Bloody Sunday, because John Lewis and his followers were attacked and brutally beaten. Lewis himself suffered a cracked skull. You do not need to agree with every aspect of John Lewis's politics to appreciate his towering presence over the past 60 years. What strikes me most about John Lewis is his optimistic courage and gentle patience, even with those that hated him. Lewis refused to be sucked in by hate; rather he sought to overcome hate with truth and love. He famously said: “You never ever hate. You must never ever become bitter or hostile. You must be hopeful. You must be optimistic. Never, never give up.” Now, what would give one such courage and patience? I think that answer is simple. Lewis, like his mentor Dr. King was a Baptist minister. He grew up in a Christian home. From his earliest days his imagination was animated with the optimism of the gospel of Jesus Christ, even preaching that gospel to the chickens on his family farm when he was just five. Here's the point: Those whose imaginations have been captivated by a God who loved us when we hated Him, died for us when we were His enemies and yet rose victorious over our sin and guilt, have a resilience that this world cannot easily shake. It does not conform to this world; it overcomes it. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:58 (ESV)

This week we look back on the 57th anniversary of the Civil Rights March on Washington at a time when marches for racial justice are demanding change. We learn about zoos reopening from the pandemic and 11-year-old Gui Khury who became the first skateboarder to land a 1080-degree spin during quarentine. For student reflection: Do you think public marches are effective tools for advancing social change?

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Washington DC demanding racial justice and equality 57 years after the original civil rights march headed by Martin Luther King. We hear from Edith Lee Payne, who was there as a 12 year old and whose photo is one of the most iconic ones taken at the 1963 march for jobs and freedom. Also on the programme, we go to New Zealand, asking how the county is faring as they come out of a second coronavirus lockdown and deal with what appears to be a four-day cyber attack on their stock exchange. Plus, as workplaces begin getting back to a new normal, experts say there’s an opportunity to completely rethink how we care for family members in order to benefit them and the wider economy. And, the Central Bank of Jamaica have released a song about price stability. Tony Morrison, their songwriter and director of communications, explains why. How organisers of one of the world's biggest street parties - the Notting Hill Carnival - are determined the show will still go on, despite coronavirus.

Amy is a total badass who sets audacious goals and exceeds them. She targeted 50 marathons by age 40 and already has 53 at age 38 and, naturally, is now shooting for 60! For the past 5 years, she’s been a member of the Air Force Marathon Team and qualified to run in the prestigious World Military Games in China. She slipped a disc in her back the day before flying 14 hours to China and it seemed unlikely Amy would race, but after a “forced taper” and a little sports chiro care, she was able to line up for the US squad and ROCKED a 2:53 PR performance! Amy tackled her first Ultra in a deep and meaningful way, completing the Civil Rights March route from Selma to Montgomery in under 8 hours! She then stood on the Capitol steps with her husband, daughter, and running community and cried. We rounded the conversation out talking about homeschooling, haircuts, and healthcare fundraising in these unprecedented pandemic times. I see BIG things ahead for Amy (like an Olympic Trials Qualifier...*wink wink*) Please take a listen and hear Amy’s awe-inspiring story! If you enjoyed the conversation, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the episode or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on. Amy and her husband have also started a side hustle and are now in the coaching game (Natural Athlete Training Systems), so be sure to check out their links below!

The Living Full Out Show with Nancy Solari encourages its audiences to pursue their passions. Everyone has something that they excel at or just love doing. Passion can give our lives substance and drive us to reach the goals we set for ourselves. Discovering what we enjoy most may come naturally or might require some soul searching. Whatever it may be, with some time and patience, we can stumble upon the path to fulfillment. Our first caller, Whitney, is in a relationship with a member of our armed forces. Recently, he has decided to pursue an education at an out of state college. This change of plans comes sudden for Whitney whom wanted to begin starting a life with her boyfriend. She worries that his needs have begun to outweigh her own. Tune in and listen to Nancy suggest that she think about the things she wants most in life. This will allow her to plan for the future and decide whether his needs contradict her goals and desires. Then she can decide what is in her best interest to do. Our second caller, Angie, has decided to study abroad for the next six months. However, her fears have begun to overcome her. She spends time worrying about leaving her family, friends, and old life behind. Hear Nancy lead her to realize that these fears can be put to rest. The scenarios she plays in her head only exist in her mind. Nancy lets her know that this exciting opportunity is worth any gamble she is imagining. The "What ifs?" can be minimized with all the new experiences she is bound to have . Our inspirational guest, Sheyann Webb-Christburg, shares with us her upbringings before her Civil Rights career. Although born to a low-income family, Sheyann was like any other young girl her age. What set her apart was her inquisitive nature and desire to make her voice known. She describes to Nancy the profound effect that meeting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had on her. Sheyann was so inspired that she decided to participate in the Civil Rights March known now as “Bloody Sunday” at only eight years of age. Listen to her share her experiences of being threatened and intimidated while marching. Hear her advice on pursuing your passions despite the obstacles. Our final caller, Emily, has been having issues with her father recently. Due to her own mistakes, her father has lost his trust in her. He believes that she is not ready to go away to college and doubts that she would even be accepted. This concerns Emily as she wants to prove to her dad she is responsible, but does not yet feel ready to be fully independent. Hear Nancy advise that she focus on regaining her family’s trust. Our integrity and the relationships with people we hold dear are more valuable than anything else. Passions are the kinds of desires or urges that navigate us in becoming the person we most want to be. They come to us as higher callings that give our lives fulfillment. We eventually all come to the realization of the meaning in our ability to evolve. When that happens, we find the sense of purpose that stays with us the rest of our lives. Rejuvenate your enthusiasm for life when you live full out.
