In this episode, Lyndsey is joined by special guest Don Lee as they do a deep dive into how World Vision works. In the words of former World Vision U.S. President, Rich Stearns, “Solving poverty is rocket science,” and this conversation really captures the beautiful intricacies and complexities of what it is that we’re moving our feet for.

To round out our Black History Month spotlights, we’re learning about Benjamin Banneker, a free African-American almanac author, surveyor, landowner, and farmer. Now, a lot of our veteran runners will tell you about some of the things that they wish they’d known about the process of running a half or full marathon when they said yes. Today, we have a few voices of our area directors and team captains from around the country doing just that: sharing what they wish they would have known.

In this week’s episode, we continue to observe and celebrate Black History Month. The last year has exposed our need to be unified as a body, as a people, and as a church. In the efforts to both acknowledge and grow in the truth that we all have so much work to do in that space, World Vision has brought an initiative to life called May We Be One: Pastors Pursuing Racial Justice, where pastors and church leaders are invited to participate and learn about racism in the church and in America.In this week’s episode, we’re listening in on one of these conversations, as Rev. Dr. Efrem Smith speaks with Jemar Tisby and Natasha Sistrunk Robinson about the gift of the Black church.

In honor of Black History Month, we’re highlighting Ann Cole Lowe, the first African American to become a noted fashion designer. We’re also feeling all the love this week, as Ashley Colquitt-Finley and Chantal Hayes Randall talk with Lyndsey about what’s it’s been like to be a mom during the pandemic and the love of motherhood in all its forms.

During Black History Month, we will be featuring short biographies of important figures in Black history at the beginning of each episode. This week, we’re learning about Ida Bell Wells-Barnett, an American investigative journalist, educator, and early leader in the Civil Rights Movement. We’ll also be hearing from Lyndsey as she talks with long-time Chicago Team World Vision runner, Emily Johanson on stepping through fear and finding the magic year after year while moving her feet.

We’re constantly hearing about “self-care” these days. This week, Lyndsey is joined by her good friend, Reverend Liz McQuitty, as they discuss what that really means in the midst of a new year but the not-so-new reality of living through a pandemic.

In our second mailbag episode, Lyndsey is joined by Rusty Funk, answering your questions about fundraising, training, and especially World Vision’s field work.

Each year on the third Monday of January, the United States of America recognizes and honors the life and legacy of Doctor Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. In this episode, we have pastor Kendra Ketter Chavis sharing his sermonized words, delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama on November 4, 1956.

We’re officially back with season two, bringing you fresh and inspiring content to get you through another unprecedented training season. Kicking it off, Lyndsey talks with Renee Bolton, World Vision staff member, and first-time marathoner as of October, about the ups and downs of training during a pandemic and what keeps her moving her feet.
