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.

Robert D. Lupton wrote a book entitled ‘Toxic Charity: How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help'. In the book he has this intriguing quote:“Giving to those in need what they could be gaining from their own initiative may well be the kindest way to destroy people. We mean well, our motives are good, but we have neglected to conduct care-full due diligence to determine emotional, economic, and cultural outcomes on the receiving end of our charity. Why do we miss this crucial aspect in evaluating our charitable work? Because, as compassionate people, we have been evaluating our charity by the rewards we receive through service, rather than the benefits received by the served. We have failed to adequately calculate the effects of our service on the lives of those reduced to objects of our pity and patronage.” So, what do you think? How do we move from creating dependency on services to supporting initiative in the people you are helping? And how do we promote the vision of the organization in ways that dignify the people that we are committed to serve?

Thousands of people across the United States don't currently have an address or a roof over their heads. This problem can often feel much too big to solve - but could it be possible that such a massive crisis has some simple solutions? Today, Melany Jackson is back to teach us what we can do to help folks without homes, and I'm telling you - it's easier than you think! Last week, Melany shared with us about the nonprofit ministry she started in Central Illinois to help be a part of systemic change for friends without addresses. This time, she's sharing more about homelessness as it relates to our country. We're talking about stats, causes, and common misconceptions about the homeless population. We're also discussing what it's truly like to live on the streets and how we should handle situations of panhandling. I found this conversation so helpful as someone who always wants to help those in need, but isn't always sure what to say or do when I find myself in those situations! While Melany does share some great tips and conversation starters for these times, her biggest message is this: treat them with dignity. We're talking about real human lives here, so it makes sense that the most practical and impactful thing we can do is to treat them like fellow human beings. Doing things like making eye contact, saying hi, and showing basic kindness can make a huge difference in the life of someone who is homeless and often ignored. This practice can also help us to have more empathy for our brothers and sisters in need. After all, isn't that how we would want to be treated if we were in their shoes?

Let Robert D Lupton open our eyes to the disturbing reality that our “unexamined generosity” may be causing more harm than good to our neighbors in need. Can we discipline our compassion with wisdom to expand our positive impact?

Tired, overwhelmed, hurting, and lonely. Every mom struggles in different ways, but there are some moms whose experiences make them vulnerable in society. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss how the gospel changes us at the heart level so we can see and serve others with humility. Our challenges are different, but our common dependence on Christ encourages us as we love the vulnerable women in our communities.    RM APPLY QUESTIONS VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: When Helping Hurts - Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands - Paul David Tripp Toxic Charity - Robert D.

Dr. Alban and his wife Joanne began their ministry in 1965 when they served as missionaries in Brazil. The Lord redirected their steps in 1975 and Dr. Alban took a pastorate in Tennessee.  Still having a passion for missions, he accepted a position with Berean Mission in 1979.  Since then, the Lord has used him to train and prepare new missionaries for the field. Dr. Alban served 16 years as Missions Department Chairman at Appalachian Bible College and in 2003, he became Professor of Global Studies at Liberty University. Dr. Alban Touched On Successes and struggles in ministry A key takeaway was that God did not call him to be someone else but to be the man He gifted him to be. The importance of the local church pastor in world missions Missions depend upon the pastor's leadership.
