Episode Description: The multitude of humanitarian crises around the world has presented the church with an opportunity to re-imagine missions work. In spite of the seemingly overwhelming needs around the world, it is possible to work towards holistic transformation, one person at a time. To that end, for over 30 years, the Christian humanitarian organization World Help has been bringing the light of Christ into the dark places. Our guest today is Noel Brewer Yeatts, President of World Help. Noel shares with us the mission of World Hope to provide “Help for today. Hope for tomorrow.” She further explains, “We don't want to just to teach people just how to get to heaven, we want to teach them how to live on earth.” To that end, World Help works towards holistic transformation and long-term sustainable change, as it ministers in word and deed to the lost, broken, and hurting throughout the world. Noel encourages us with the good work that is being done throughout the world and how a difference can be made, one person at a time. This “help and hope model” of World Help provides a way forward as we re-imagine missions and how we can be involved in social justice and salvation simultaneously. On this episode, Noel and Bobby will discuss: The partnership between World Help and national ministries and organizations. The ways World Help is addressing both physical and spiritual needs. How we can all work together to help people in crises and stuck in cycles of poverty and oppression. To learn more, please visit, https://worldhelp.net/ ____________________________________________________________ About the guest: Noel Brewer Yeatts is the president of World Help, a Christian humanitarian organization serving the physical and spiritual needs of people in impoverished communities around the world. World Help gives help for today and hope for tomorrow through humanitarian aid and relief, community development, education and sustainability projects, Bible distribution, and church planting. Yeatts became president of World Help in 2019, having previously served the organization for more than two decades in various aspects of its humanitarian work, most recently as vice president over special projects. During her time as president, Yeatts has spearheaded World Help's refugee crisis work in Afghanistan and Ukraine. She is also passionate about fighting for victims of modern slavery and sex trafficking. Yeatts believes hope is restored when humanitarian work is focused on both body and soul. Her philosophy is that faith can mean very little when people don't have access to food, clean water, and the medicine they need; but without faith that feeds the soul, meeting those physical needs is just a short-term fix. World Help aims to bring long-term sustainable change while also meeting the immediate needs in communities around the world.

Episode Description: Are you consumed and overwhelmed with the pace of life or have you discovered the way of the unhurried life? Today's guest is Alan Fadling, the Founder and President of Unhurried Living, Inc. Additionally, he is the author of An Unhurried Life and An Unhurried Leader. In this important conversation, Alan helps us slow down to recognize the negative impact that the challenge of hurry can have on our souls. Alan recognizes the challenge of hurry that we are confronted with on a daily basis, yet shows us another way forward, the way of unhurriedness. Looking to the example of Jesus, we are reminded that “he didn't let busy fill every waking minute of his life.” Alan invites us to re-evaluate what matters most, loving God and loving people. Unfortunately, if we lose sight of this, hurry can consume us and we will find ourselves missing the mark. We are presented with the important reminder that “you can't love people in a hurry and you can't love God in a hurry.” By embracing the way of unhurriedness, we can experience a deeper connection with God and therefore re-establish our identity in our relationship with God instead of our performance or accomplishments. The way of unhurriedness sets the stage for the profound kingdom impact that we can cultivate in our lives and in the people around us.

Our guest this week is Tim Winders who is a strategic coach, author, and the host of SeekGoCreate. By the world's standards, Tim was very successful in his business and real estate ventures. However, the recession of 2008 led to the stripping away of the signs of his success, where he and his wife found themselves living out of a van.

Episode Description: Jeremy McMath is someone who has demonstrated how to orient not one but two companies, through which lives are impacted and the kingdom of God continues to grow. In 2013 Jeremy started Civil Southeast, LLC, which provides civil engineering services, and in 2017 Abram Homes, LLC, which provides home design and build services. Jeremy saw the founding of both companies as a means to love God and love others well. From his early days working in his dad's NAPA auto parts shop and cutting grass to his current life calling, he has always valued and practiced knowing, loving, and serving people well. He has lived this out in the context of his home, his church, and his companies. This orientation towards kingdom growth and impact is found in our relationship with God, through which we learn how to love and serve those around us, and in doing so, learn to love ourselves also. On this journey of faith, Jeremy has embraced what it means to continually trust in God's timing and provision and steward the resources and people that God has entrusted him with. Through Jeremy's lived experience he encourages and challenges us to “recognize the opportunity that exists in each one of us.” In this episode, Jeremy and Bobby will discuss: Orienting your family, company, and teams towards kingdom service which positively impacts those around you. How to build, cultivate, and maintain trust with your teams, customers, and contractors. Living out your calling, values, and mission statements. How our relationship with God is foundational to our relationship with others. Shepherding your family and your teams.

Jeremy is a 2001 Civil Engineering Graduate from Auburn University and has focused most of his career on being a consulting civil engineer. Over the past 5 years Jeremy felt called to begin transitioning from being a manager of projects to a manager of the two businesses. This intentional transition has been challenging but rewarding as he continues to see God provide the team needed to serve their clients. Jeremy loves to travel to national parks with his family and friends. He aspires to be about the journey instead of the destination but admits this is easier said than done for his personality.
