<p>What happens when you stop keeping score and start living fully surrendered to God’s plan?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of the Empowered Life Podcast, host Meredith Murray sits down with Chip Roop, the President and CEO of the Roop Family Foundation, songwriter, and musician.</p><p><br></p><p>Chip shares his incredible journey from a small coal town in eastern Kentucky to seminary, and how God took his dream of being a youth pastor and multiplied it into a global impact spanning 52 organizations.</p><p>Meredith and Chip dive deep into what true, unconditional generosity and empowerment look like: shifting our focus outward rather than inward, getting our hands dirty alongside the organizations we support, and empowering the next generation to be game-changers today, not just &quot;one day&quot; in the future.</p><p><br></p><p>Central to the foundation&#39;s global reach is its deep partnership with Allies in Youth Development.
