Description

How are Christians supposed to think, feel, and act as they walk by a homeless person? As they drive through an impoverished neighborhood and pass by its residents? Our reactions will be strongly influenced by how we answer the question, “Why? Why are these people poor?” To wrestle with this question, Curtis is joined by the leading scholar on American poverty today, Matthew Desmond, author of Poverty, by America. Together, they explore why most Americans are missing the full answer – and the special responsibility of Christians to live out the Biblical answer.    Send us your stories about how you’re living out “Good Faith” in your everyday life. We want to hear from you and we may reach out to you to be featured in our Campfire Stories!    Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond   Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond   End Poverty USA   What does the Bible say about poverty?
