Going Deeper - How Moses Walked with God
When people talk about hearing God’s voice and exploring the Bible, have you thought, “I want that too, but I am too old” or “I am not smart enough?” Well, in this program, Chip has some much-needed encouragement for you as he continues his series, Going Deeper. Hear how to have genuine closeness with God as Chip studies the life and faith of Moses.Main Points
Moses’ Story
Born during a time of peril: The children of Israel were being persecuted by Pharaoh.
Adopted into an Egyptian family: Raised in a secular environment, yet he was exposed to his Hebrew roots.
Despite his privileged life, he comes to a point where he asks, “what’s life really about?”
He made mistakes, such as killing an Egyptian, which led to his fleeing and living as a shepherd for forty years.
After leaving Egypt, Moses feels a deep sense of unworthiness, inability, and inadequacy.
God wants to walk with you step-by-step
He wants you to know His will.
He wants you to enjoy His presence.
He wants to guide and direct you.
Walking with God
It’s never too late, you’re never too old; God wants to walk with you and use you for His glory.
When you stop walking with God you get what you can produce, but when you walk with God you get what He wants to produce in and through you.
When you walk with God it can sometimes be lonely and difficult, but He’ll fulfill His good work in us. -Philippians 1:6
Takeaway:
You need to ask God for a passion, not just to get good things from Him, but to actually know what He’s like.

Global Orphan Project: Helping Kids in Need - Global Orphan Project
Can you imagine… you…actually saving a child’s life? And you don’t need to go anywhere, or complete any special training. In this program, Chip interviews Joe Knittig from the Global Orphan Project. Joe describes the widespread poverty tearing families apart and shares a very simple way believers can meet these needs in their own backyard.Main PointsPurpose and Importance of CarePortal:CarePortal is a platform designed to connect local churches with the needs of children and families in crisis, helping them avoid entering the foster care system. It provides a way for community members to address these needs in real-time.Joe Knittig’s Background:Joe Knittig had a troubled upbringing but was later transformed by his faith and became a trial lawyer. He and his wife decided to focus on supporting children and families in need, which led to their involvement in CarePortal.Child Welfare Crisis:In the U.S., over four million children annually face issues that bring them to the doorstep of the foster care system. More than 400,000 are in foster care, and over 100,000 are immediately adoptable. The crisis affects families across various communities, and the system is overwhelmed.CarePortal’s Mechanism:CarePortal acts as a "sharing platform" similar to Uber or Airbnb but for child welfare needs. Social workers and child protective services input needs into CarePortal, and local churches are then notified. Churches can choose to meet these needs, which could be anything from providing beds to assisting with rent.Impact and Growth:Since its inception in 2015 in Austin, Texas, CarePortal has expanded to 22 states and involves over 2,400 churches. It has helped over 82,000 children, with the number growing daily.Relational Approach:The goal is not only to provide transactional help but also to create relational connections between churches and families. This approach helps build community and support around children and families in crisis.Prevention vs. Intervention:CarePortal addresses both prevention (helping families before they enter the foster care system) and intervention (assisting those already in the system). This dual approach aims to reduce the need for foster care placements and support reunification.Statistics and Outcomes:Children who enter foster care often face poor outcomes, including higher rates of incarceration, homelessness, and involvement in sex trafficking. Preventing their entry into the system can significantly improve their future prospects.Getting Involved:Individuals interested in helping can visit CarePortal.org, select their role, and start contributing. The platform is designed to be intuitive and accessible for anyone willing to make a difference.The Church’s Role:The Church’s involvement can lead to significant systemic change and healing within communities. The Church can act as a unifying force to tackle the foster care crisis and support children and families effectively.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.
