This is a podcast that deals in asking tough questions about faith. As someone who questions their faith on a daily basis, I am no stranger to tough questions. So, each week a different faith leader, activist, or political leader will be interviewed and asked the same tough questions I have asked about God and the Christian faith. This podcasts seeks to identify voices who have not been invited or allowed at the table, and to lift those voices up through the embodiment of life experiences and personal stories.
This week we will dive into the definitions of homelessness and some of the barriers that exist to people living unhoused in the United States. Resource used: hudexchange.info and usich.gov
