Famine, Faith & Hope — Andy Harrington on Feeding the World, Losing His Son & USAID Cuts I Ep 35

from Briefcase and The Barn · host Kyle Van Ruitenburg | Furiously Curious Company

I sat down with Andy Harrington, Executive Director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank—a network of Christian organizations working together to end global hunger with a budget of around 80 million. Andy doesn’t just talk about impact; he lives it, partnering with farmers across Canada to feed millions around the world.But his journey into this work wasn’t a straight line. We talk about that journey, which includes the tragic death of his son Chris at 28 years old and how it impacted his perspective on life, faith, and how that pain became fuel for purpose.We also dig into the real-world consequences of Trump's recent cuts to USAID funding and the huge impact it's having on the world’s hungriest people today.In summary, this conversation is about a journey of learning to walk by faith, not by sight. I hope it's a blessing to you.-Kyle---🤝 *If you're enjoying this content and would like to support the show, click the link below* 👇 www.furiouslycurious.co/donate---📞 *Interested in Kyle's Coaching, Recruiting, or Employment Opportunities?*Text Kyle: 1-604-703-9045Email: [email protected]: https://www.furiouslycurious.co---*🎙 About The Show*Kyle Van Ruitenburg gets Furiously Curious with honest, raw, and sometimes laugh-out-loud chats about the stories, beliefs, and worldviews that shape how people see the world.From Business and Faith to Life and everything in between, no topic is off the table.---*Social Media:*https://www.facebook.com/FuriouslyCuriousShowhttps://www.instagram.com/furiouslycuriousco/ ---Do you know someone who would be a good guest for the podcast?
