with guests Wendi Park of Care Impact (formerly Forever Families) and Craig Thiessen of Ross Road Community Church
How did you respond the last time someone living in homelessness approached you on the street? How about when you learned that your neighbour was struggling with loneliness? Or when you heard about drought overseas on the news? When we’re confronted with the devastating effects of poverty, it can feel pretty overwhelming. After all, what can one person really do to make a difference?
In this episode, Wendy Park and Craig Thiessen share about a workshop that helped them challenge their assumptions around poverty—the Ending Poverty Together Workshop (you heard that right! We share a name!). They share about the experience of coming together with other like-minded Canadians, how the interactive exercises equipped them to make a difference in their communities, and how you can get involved too.
Because, as it turns out, one person can actually do quite a lot when it comes to poverty—especially when they walk alongside others.
