Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, ladies, so tell them al here on Saron
(00:02):
from news Talkie leven ten and ninety nine three double
keep bet.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Strange things are a foot at the circle case.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
This is good morning beat with both thumbson at Beth
Trout bit.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Watch me for the changes and try to keep up again.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Right now, all right, seven minutes after nine o'clock on
this Tuesday morning. We normally talk to our next guest
forty eight hours from now, but we simply cannot wait
this week. And it's also the perfect thing to announce
(00:38):
on Giving Tuesday, a day where we try to spotlight
organizations that deserve your attention, on a day where the
world gathers together to try to give a little bit
of course, following Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday,
but Giving Tuesday. What a great development this has been
over the last five to ten years. And joining us
(01:01):
on the WBT hotline right now is one of our
favorite people, David Chadwick, the senior pastor at Moments of
Hope Church and the longtime host of The David Chadwick Show.
He is on the hotline today. But we have a big,
big announcement that we want to get to all of
the fifty thousand watt community behind here. David, good morning, my.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Friend, Good morning, Bo, Good morning Beth. Great to be
with you again.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Well, thank you so much for agreeing to join us
on Giving Tuesday, because as you do, you open your
heart and open your church and open up the hearts
of this community every year by inspiring people to give
to help those less fortunate.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, we've been doing this since COVID hit the community.
And remember Bo, you, Pat McCrory and I were together going,
we've got to do something. How could we use that
powerful fifty thousand watt microphone for good? So we decided
to have a matching gift through Moments of Hope Church
again the church I pastor, and use the microphone to
(02:01):
match that gift, and we raised about two hundred thousand
dollars if I remember correctly, to give to hungry children
in our community to try to give them a chance
to eat well and then to educate their minds well
so that they can have a chance for upward mobility
in our community. And we decided to keep on doing
it after that, and it's amazing. I think I calculated
(02:23):
in my brain rightly that we have raised over the
last five plus years around one point three million dollars
that we have distributed to these needs of hunger to
our children, especially in this community. But last year was
a special success. As you know, we looked at western
North Carolina instead of the children for a year because
of the devastation of the hurricane, and we were able
(02:45):
to raise around five hundred and twenty plus thousand dollars
to rebuild an entire community in western North Carolina called Barnardsville,
North Carolina. It's unincorporated, it does not have county and
state funds available to it. So we just said, we've
got us step into this place and help. We can't
do everything, we can do something. So the community that
(03:05):
you reach, Bo and Beth and the church that I
pastor combined together to really rebuild a community. And if
people want to know what happened there exactly, they can
go to CITYOFHOPECLT dot org. See a video there that
lasts about ten minutes that rebuilds that entire community because
of the efforts of WBT Radio and the church I pastor,
Moments of Hope Church, so a huge success. And here
(03:28):
we are in December twenty twenty five, and we're going
to refocus back on children now and during this month
try to raise another two hundred thousand dollars one hundred
thousand dollars matching gift from Moments of Okee Church again
and another one hundred thousand hopefully from your listeners, and
then they will go to six different communities in our
area that are helping children be able to just simply
(03:49):
eat well because the food shortages are really there. And
it also helped them with reading programs because a bottom
line statistic is if you can't read by the end
of your third raid, that's the greatest predictor for going
to prison. So it's reading and feeding that we want
to emphasize this year in vulnerable communities in Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And of course the most important thing to emphasize you
said it right there, and we will keep on emphasizing
City of Hope c LT dot O RG. And the
beautiful thing about this as it has evolved since we
started this and you mentioned that, David, is that now
with each year you find a need within the community
to sort of focus and fine tune and give awareness
(04:31):
to Now we should point out that on this show,
we obviously will give you the day to day updates
on how much money has been raised and the matching gift.
But also we make a point and I think we've
done a good job of this over the years with
all of us sort of pulling together our resources of
making sure that once you make that donation, you understand
(04:52):
where that donation goes and you hear the stories of
these beneficiaries and how those I mean, the video for
Barnesville is one thing. Talking to Rusty Price over the
years that his ministry there, We've been doing this now
long enough that we have a lot of stories to
tell of the work that has been done already.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
David, Yes, and we will tell those stories regularly. I
mean this next Sunday on my show is going to
be Victor Nicholson, who works with the Dream Center on
the west side of town. He associates with Jim Noble
and his ministry there. It's just a wonderful place to
see people get cared for and loved who are vulnerable
(05:34):
and actually hidden in our community, you know, boen Bet.
The truth is Charlotte is a new South shining city growing.
I've heard it's the second fastest growing city in all
of the country. Maybe behind Phoenix or Austin, Texas. But
the truth is we have pockets of poverty and underserved
people all throughout our city. We just try to identify
those pockets and poor resources into them to do the
(05:58):
best we can to help as best we can. And yes,
we will share those stories regularly over this next month
and again people can go to CITYOFHOPECLT dot org. The
beginning of the giving is today, so go there and
we already have the matching gift up. And anything anybody
gives immediately is double. The one dollar becomes two, the
five becomes ten. Last year, somebody gave us twenty five
(06:19):
thousand dollars, which was unbelievable. Anybody can give anything, just
know immediately it's doubled and it will go to help
hurting kids, particularly in our community.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I love that we're using the fifty thousand watts today
and for the rest of the month to remind people
how important it is to care for their fellow man,
to show love and kindness and generosity. And as you
always say, when you give, especially this season, but when
you give anytime, you end up getting so much in
return just with the love that you feel, well.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You know, Beth, I find it interesting that the two
words miser and miserable come from the same etymological word source.
So you're never more miss when you're a miser. But
it is more blessed to give than to receive, and
you're never happier than when you give. There's a verse
in the Bible that I think the Second Corinthians, chapter nine,
verse seven, that says God loves a cheerful giver, and
(07:12):
that word cheerful and the Greek is hilarios. So that's
the work in which we get hilarious. God loves an hilarious,
joyful giver. And you're right, Beth, you're never happier than
when you give.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well. And the great thing is you can go to
City off Hope CLT dot org. The website is live,
the counter is there, and I know with the holiday
season each year now, one of my favorite things is
to get those almost daily updates, sometimes several times a day,
updates from David with the latest totals, and that begins
(07:44):
today giving Tuesday, and City of Hope CLT dot org.
We'll be talking about this a lot, David, and we'll
be talking to you on Thursday like normal. But I
wanted to get ahead of this because today's the perfect
day to kick this all off, and so let's do
it again.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, thank you, Bo and Beth. It's been a joint again.
One point three million dollars that we've raised over the
last five plus years. It's just astounding. And thanks to
the listeners because they're the ones who have made this happen.
But I can tell you that it has helped literally
hundreds of kids who are in our community be better,
read better, be healthier, and all of those good things.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We will talk to you soon and thank you so
much for calling in.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Thank you guys. I'll talk to you Thursday.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yes, sir, that's David Chadwick, the senior pastor at Moments
of Hope Church and of course his weekly program Sunday
mornings eight am the David Chadwick Show and joins us
once a week, and he's one of our beacons of
hope around here for helping the less fortunate in the area.
As he points out community, parts of the community that
(08:50):
you may not even realize have the need, and we
spotlight the need and we also spotlight the aid and
that's an important part of it too, because when you
give this time time of year, you want to give.
You want that spirit of giving, but you want to
know that your dollar is working for you and for
the person that you're intending for it to work for,
right and.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
In this case, every dollar goes to our community and
goes to help people in our community, so you can
feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (09:15):

like a broken record, but for a very good reason.
