Summer Job by Michael Chitwood

Michael Chitwood, World Vision

(0:00-9:36) The first Thursday of May is the designated National Day of Prayer. Every year there is a theme, this year it's 'Love One Another'. Brian and Ian give their thoughts on prayer outside the Day itself, praying for one's government and also taking action in addition to prayer. (9:36-19:53) Alabama Rep. John Rogers recently stated that "some kids is unwanted, kill'em now or kill'em later". Hot on the heels of the recent legislation passed regarding abortion, this has caused an uproar. Brian and Ian push back on the statement as well as what should be the response of believers as more and more people shift their thinking to abortion. (19:53-29:27) Skye Jethani remarked that Christians who constantly seek out a spiritual high become worship junkies. They are always hopping from one mountaintop to the next. Ian and Brian look into the positives of having an emotional high, but also finding joy "in the valley" and the power of both in one's life. (29:27-39:21) Author Jon Acuff had a minor embarrassment with a turtle during a public speaking event. Yet he took it in stride. Human beings are prone to being embarrassed and shamed about things they say or do, even when its not needed. Brian and Ian share stories of their own experiences being embarrassed and how to own the moments and overcome them. (39:21-49:46) "God's church doesn't have a mission. God's mission has a church". Ian penned that Facebook post regarding the expansion of the church. he and Brian unpack what it means to open one's eyes to the work God is doing and becoming a part of that mission and doing his work, not ours. (49:46-1:00) Ron Sider has announced his formal retirement. And his impact, especially with "Rich Christians In An Age of Hunger" is profound. Taking a look at his writings and some quotes, Brian and Ian look into how so many have been blinded by a desire to succeed, while ignoring or overlooking Christ's call to help others. (1:00-1:10) Michael Chitwood, Executive Director for Church and Ministry at World Vision, works to spread the good news of Christ everywhere. World Vision's upcoming Global 6k for Water highlights the need in the world and helping "the least of these". He shares his story of working with World Vision with Brian and Ian and what the purpose and goal of the 6k is. (1:10-1:16) Brian and Ian's Weird Stuff They Found On the Internet.

Michael Chitwood delivers this poweful challenge to move Beyond Fear and make a difference by doing something that seems impossible. God is close to the brokenhearted. When we serve the down and out, the forgotten and the marginalized, we are closest to God. We actually extend His hand to those in need. Michael is the founder of Team World Vision and currently serves World Vision as the Executive Director of Church Engagement. Support the show (http://www.free.church/giving)

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; ?he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. ?- Psalm 34:18 Today’s Speaker Michael Chitwood Husband, Father, Brother, Dear Friend, River City Member and National Director of Team World Vision.Michael is the author of “The Ability To Endure” Pain is a certainty in this life. It is guaranteed to find us. At times it may feel like grief has sought us out. When we face this type of suffering, our instinct is to run from it. But no matter how we try, we simply cannot outrun it. This book is about pain and loss and heartache. It’s about being at the end of yourself — losing faith in anything and everything, and then finding hope in the strangest of places. Finding redemption where it seems least likely that God would ever show up. It’s about how when you think all is lost, it isn’t. How when it seems like there is no reason to take one more step forward, there is. It’s about realizing our instinct to run when life gets tough. And it’s about wanting God to make life easier, and instead he gives you the ability to endure. Thanks for letting me share my story with you. http://www.theabilitytoendure.com/
