Famine, Faith & Hope I Andy Harrington on Feeding the World, Losing His Son & USAID Cuts

The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

Kyle Van Ruitenburg is the PK and connections guy who’s been around the world (and yes—straight off the boat). Gary Baars is the money guy who’s been around just about every farm and cow.

Together, they have blunt, funny, real talk about business, life, faith, culture, and the stuff Christians usually don't talk about.

Recorded on the west coast of Canada in Chilliwack, BC.

New episodes every Wednesday at 5 am PST.

Created & produced by The Furiously Curious Company.

I sat down with Andy Harrington, Executive Director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a network of Christian organizations working together to end global hunger with a budget of around 80 million. Andy doesn’t just talk about impact; he lives it, partnering with farmers across Canada to feed millions around the world.

But his journey into this work wasn’t a straight line. We talk about that journey, which includes the tragic death of his son Chris at 26 years old and how it impacted his perspective on life, faith, and how that pain became fuel for purpose.

We also dig into the real-world consequences of Trump's recent cuts to USAID funding and the huge impact it's having on the world’s hungriest people today.

In summary, this conversation is about a journey of learning to walk by faith, not by sight. I hope it's a blessing to you.
