Roger Wheeler, a real estate agent from Iowa, discovered that comfortable Western Christianity was missing something crucial - the biblical call to share surplus with those in need. What started as orphan care work in Ghana evolved into a powerful revelation about global hunger within the Christian community. When Roger encountered families surviving on less than 1,000 calories per week, he couldn't ignore the contrast with his own abundance.

Through Shoulder to Shoulder ministry, Roger and his brother have now sent over $1 million to feed starving Christians in Zambia, working through 122 local churches with zero administrative overhead. But this isn't just about feeding the hungry - it's about what Roger calls a "food for faith exchange." As wealthy believers give from their surplus, they discover the deeper spiritual life that comes from true dependence on God. Roger challenges us to see ourselves as "a big herd of camels" struggling to enter the kingdom, while those we serve possess a richness of faith we desperately need. This conversation will transform how you think about poverty, wealth, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world of extreme inequality.
