Crumbs and Courage

In this episode of Beyond Sunday, hosts Michael Shearon, Chaney Guffey, David Rambo, and Paxton Redd discuss The Outpouring giving initiative. They reflect on the recent sermon about Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath, emphasizing the importance of beginning where you are, moving as God leads, and trusting that obedience leads to blessings. Personal testimonies highlight how faith in uncertain moments—whether in finances, career changes, or hardships—has led to God’s provision. The guests also share their vision for The Outpouring, from expanding children’s ministry to creating more opportunities for young adults and small groups.

The hosts address a listener question on how to respond when giving doesn’t bring immediate results. They encourage patience, comparing God’s timing to a "crockpot" rather than a "microwave," where blessings develop over time. Giving, they stress, should focus on transformation—both personal and within the church—rather than expecting quick returns.

The episode concludes with announcements about upcoming mission trips, a special interest night on February 19, and a preview of the next sermon in The Outpouring series. Listeners are encouraged to stay engaged, trust in God's provision, and continue walking in faith.
