Listen "Episode 10: Living a Life of Service Without Burning Out (w/ Jedd Medefind)"
Episode Synopsis
Can you believe it? This is the last episode of season one! We couldn't have asked for a better guest to help us close out this season than Jedd Medefind. Jedd serves as the President of the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO), and previously led the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives under President George W. Bush. Jedd has also written several books, including Upended: How Following Jesus Remakes Your Words and World. There are two extremes we can commonly fall into when seeking to serve the vulnerable. On one side, we can feel pressured to do so out of guilt or a sense of duty. In the other direction, we can seek to serve the vulnerable to make ourselves look good or even to receive accolades for our efforts. The key to avoiding either of these extremes is cultivating a healthy spiritual life where we go deep with the Father to receive just as much as we give. In this conversation, Jedd shares what it was like to work in the White House, what led to his involvement and passion for the work of CAFO, how we can live a life of both pouring out and receiving deeply, and more.
