Description
with guest Kevin Wiebe of Pov.ology
We all struggle with poverty in one form or another, whether it be material, emotional, environmental, or spiritual. But if we all struggle with poverty, then how can we help one another?
In this episode, Kevin Wiebe, creator of Pov.ology, shares what it means to serve the needy when you’re one of them. As followers of Christ, Kevin emphasizes the importance of reflecting God’s character in everyday life, from small deeds, like stretching a meal to welcome another guest at a dinner table, to larger discussions, like reckoning with the importance of talking with people instead of talking about them.
