<description>“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”  Helen Keller
“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”  Romans 5:3-5 NIV
Suffering. A word that people don’t like to say or experience. Most of our life is about avoiding suffering. 
How well do you suffer? 
On this weekend’s show, Kurt and Chad welcome Greg Taylor to talk about suffering and how medical, physical, emotional, and financial suffering set him on a path to a closeness with God and his family that wouldn’t have happened outside of suffering.</description>

<description>“Missions.” What comes to mind when you hear that word? Short-term mission trips? Missionaries who have been in a certain region for decades? Certain countries bringing their “blessings” to other “less fortunate” churches? 
But when does helping hurt? 
On this week’s show, former dentist and missionary Dr. Charlie Vittitow and founder and president of Life in Abundance (https://lifeinabundance.org) Dr. Florence Muindi discuss their book, Teach a Man to Fish (https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Man-Fish.../dp/1496490061)
that talks about what they’ve seen in decades of serving in missions around the world and how the mindset and methodology has developed from “give them a fish” to “teach them how to fish” mission work. From across the street to around the world, Jesus’s model of making fishers is still changing the world, and the Kingdom of God.
