Description
Join us at North Wind Manor on April 16 at 7:30 PM for a night with Kevan Chandler and Tommy Shelton.
We live in a world where need is often a burden, or to some an idol. But the Bible says we’re all weak, we all fall short, and it also calls us to serve one another. So, if we all have needs and we’re all supposed to put others first, how does that work? As I reflect on my own life experience and how God has designed people to interact, I’m realizing that need can actually be an open door into deeper fellowship, growth, and healing for all parties involved, not just giver or recipient. If we recognized our needs as opportunities to invite others in and serve them, not in spite of but actually through our needs, maybe we wouldn’t be so hesitant or—on the other hand—demanding in our invitations. Perhaps we could get a little closer, together, to living and loving the way God intended for us from the beginning.
Kevan Chandler grew up in the foothills of North Carolina. He was the second of his siblings to be diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, type 2, a rare neuromuscular disease. In 2016, he and his friends took a trip across Europe, leaving his wheelchair at home, and his friends carried him for three weeks in a backpack. An avid storyteller, he is a writer and speaker worldwide about his unique life with a disability, being a featured speaker for Tedx and Google, as well as various conferences, pharmaceutical companies, and universities. Kevan has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Counseling from John Wesley College, and is also founder of the nonprofit We Carry Kevan. He and his wife Katie live in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where they enjoy growing vegetables, making homemade bread, and reading to each other.
Tommy Shelton, Jr. grew up joyfully as the son of a pastor in North Carolina, and is thrilled that God called him to follow in his father’s shepherding footsteps. He loves his wife and six children. He also loves to preach the Bible, pray over people, and build things. Tommy is the pastor of Live Oaks Bible Church in Palm Harbor, Florida.
