In My Father’s Kitchen

“Hometown Heroes” on Family Life

You have been at an intersection, where a homeless person is standing at that street corner, holding a cardboard sign asking for help. Many people drive by, which makes sense, because a cash handout might be diverted toward furthering an addiction.

Yet, one of those episodes became the spiritual calling for someone who knows a thing or two about feeding people. He bought a lunch, circled back, offered it to the man, and had a life-changing conversation.  For both men.

John and Leigh-Ann Tumino launched In My Father’s Kitchen in 2011 to address the physical and spiritual hungers which were widespread in parts of Syracuse.

Chef John Tumino tells our Mark Webster about this ministry, the people it serves, and how the people who carry out this kind of loving work are transformed too.

 

You can find more about In My Father’s Kitchen from their website, online video and history.

IMFK also sponsors a program to help panhandlers and homeless individuals to build up work experience and skills. It is cleverly named “Hire Ground“.

Riley Gaines – Approaches to Women’s Sports (NCAA, NAIA, and Public Action)

This autumn marks a new chapter in the debates on transgendered athletes in sports for college students, teens and younger children.

With this new academic year, two major oversight organizations deal with collegiate sports will handle the question differently. The NCAA across all three of its divisions will support student-athletes who were born male to be active with women’s sports, women’s records and women’s scholarships. The NAIA which regulates sports for more than 250 smaller and mid-sized schools is going the other direction, with athletes playing either the male or female sports which matches their genetic makeup.

Riley Gaines, a former championship collegiate swimmer is now an advocate for fairness, privacy and safety surrounding transgender policies. She not only is a commentator for Outkick.com, she is a litigant in Title IX lawsuits against the NCAA. In this special Family Life Interview, she says she one significant change over the past year has been the level of public advocacy for protecting women and girls.
