EP 5: Scott Linebrink - Bringing Water To The World

Thinking Green

Water is life. It sustains us and helps us advance our lives as individuals and as a collective - and in places where safe, available drinking water just isn’t a reality, the whole community suffers from its absence. How, then, do we bring life-giving water to communities like these?

Scott Linebrink is a former MLB player and the stewardship director of Water Mission, a Christian nonprofit based out of Charleston and centered around serving millions of people in dozens of countries worldwide through clean water projects.

In this episode of Thinking Green, Mo and Scott break down the principles and processes through which Water Mission provides clean, stable, and reliable water sources for rural communities and developing countries, what it takes to get functional water systems up and running from start to finish, and how Scott and his team are working to emulate God’s love in every project they do to change lives, one person at a time. Tune in for an enlightening look at the power a little water has in so many places worldwide.

What You'll Learn:

• What clean, dependable water and sanitation have to do with the overall quality of life of entire communities, from infrastructure to healthcare to education and beyond
• How to walk the line between shedding entitlement to serve others and the temptation to “show off” your good deeds (and why the latter mentality is sometimes just a part of the journey
• Why a lot of the current water solutions being installed across the world, no matter how well-meant they are, aren’t sustainable - and how the industry can begin to step up their efforts and their impact
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

“I think that's the way God wants us to live, knowing that he loves all people, and knowing that he wants us to treat our neighbors - not just the neighbor across the street, but the neighbor across the world, too, somebody that may look very different from us culturally and from a belief standpoint - but, you know, one of the great ways to show love for someone else is to give them a drink of water.”
