Why do you help the poor? In a culture where lending a hand to those in need is often seen as a noble thing to do, it's crucial for us as Christians to understand the deeper motivation behind our actions. As believers, we serve the poor out of love—a love that sees Jesus in the faces of those in need. To delve into this profound aspect of service, I invite you to listen to my recent conversation with Jill Lynch, Executive Director of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Omaha. In this enlightening discussion, Jill shares her insights on recognizing the humanity and inherent worth of homeless individuals, challenging stereotypes and emphasizing the importance of empathy and dignity. Jill sheds light on the obstacles faced by the homeless, from securing identification to accessing transportation, and discusses proactive measures to prevent homelessness among the working poor. Through personal anecdotes, she illustrates the holistic approach of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, offering targeted assistance to those on the brink of homelessness. Above all, Jill emphasizes the profound truth that serving the poor is not just an act of charity, but a way to encounter Christ Himself. By treating each individual with respect and compassion, we fulfill the mission of seeing the face of Jesus in the marginalized.

In today's episode, we'll explore the intricate relationship between women, at https://www.tamiwest.com/post/stress-awareness-month-part-iii-money. Personal Reflections on Money Growing up with financial instability can leave a lasting impact. Here are some reflections on how a poor understanding of money can affect decisions and stress levels: - My childhood in poverty taught me that money was something to be spent immediately. - I witnessed a cycle of poverty when $50,000 was received and quickly dissipated on fast food, small trips, and material things. Understanding Poverty We'll delve into Dr. Ruby Payne's book, "A Framework for Understanding Poverty," which provides invaluable insights into the mindset shaped by economic struggles. Stress and Finances: A Gendered Issue - We revisit the "Stress in America Report" to discuss how, while finances are a top stressor, they often remain an undiscussed topic. - Only 52% of adults are comfortable discussing money, and 45% feel embarrassed by it. - Women, in particular, feel more consumed by financial worries than men, with a significant number stressing over essentials and unexpected expenses. My Financial Journey I'll share my personal financial highs and lows, hoping to offer both cautionary tales and strategies for success.  Successes: - Employment from the age of 16. - Purchased a car independently at 17. - Initiated a money market and IRA in my first marriage. - Paid off debt using the envelope method as a single mom. - Utilized government assistance during a transitional phase. Mistakes: - Financed unnecessary items in my first marriage. - Financial crises - Halted IRA contributions post-divorce. - Did not save for my children's education. - Allowed worry to prevent action. Practical Tips to Minimize Financial Stress (From Women are Stressed About Money) To conclude, we'll discuss three crucial steps you can take to reduce financial stress: 1. Save for emergencies to cushion against unforeseen expenses. 2. Save for retirement to secure your future. 3. Plan and think ahead, especially for significant life events. Understanding and managing money is crucial, especially for women who may experience greater financial stress. Let's reflect on our relationship with money and take proactive steps to secure our financial well-being. I hope this has been helpful today, and thank you for joining!

 As the parent of a 12-year-old child, I know that raising a child is one of the most profound and rewarding experiences of a person's life. It is also shockingly expensive. The high cost of child rearing is particularly difficult for families with limited resources. To help us think through this issue, it is my great pleasure to welcome a colleague here at Duke: Dr. Christina Gibson-Davis, Professor of Public Policy. Christina studies economic inequality, and particularly how it affects families with children. Interview Summary So, let's do a bit of level setting. We often hear words like poverty and wellbeing. For our conversation today, what is poverty in the US and what do we mean by wellbeing? In the US we have a definition of poverty that relies on a certain threshold. Every year the US government publishes a set of thresholds for families that say - if you are below this threshold, then you are poor. If you're above this threshold, then you're not poor. The thresholds are actually based on data from 1963, when the federal government decided it really needed a way to count the number of poor people in this country. Prior to 1963, we really didn't have any way to do that. They looked at how much money people spent on food, and from that number, they derived these poverty thresholds. In 2022, the poverty threshold for a family of four, just to give your listeners some idea, was about $22,000. This means that if you earned $21,999, you were considered poor. But if you earned $22,001, you weren't considered poor. That's what I mean about the threshold and about falling either above or below that threshold in order to determine whether or not you're poor. Thank you, Christina, that's really helpful. It is interesting that the measure of poverty really is centering on food, or at least traditionally has. We'll get back to that in a moment. I want to go back to the question of wellbeing. Could you tell our listeners what you're talking about when you talk about wellbeing? When we talk about wellbeing, we mean things like how healthy kids are, or how they get along with peers, or how they do in school. Basically, it's the way we measure how kids are functioning and whether they're functioning to the best of their ability. It sounds like it's a broad notion that represents all the ways a child is a child, how they move in this world. That's exactly right. It's going to cover a whole bunch of different areas. Everything from health and education to social relationships, to behavior, to delinquency, to how far they get in school. All of that goes into our definition of wellbeing. Great. Thank you for that. I want to now focus a little bit more on children themselves. What does childhood poverty look like in the US? We can have a technical definition of poverty, which is what I alluded to before, but really, that technical definition I don't think paints a very illustrative portrait of what it looks like to be poor in the US. To be poor in the US as a kid means you're growing up in an environment with very low levels of economic resources. You're probably growing up in a household where you're not sure if those economic resources are going to be enough for your family to maintain their home or pay their bills or get enough food. It's a very sort of unstable situation for kids because they may be worried that their parents just don't have enough money. It also sort of affects the kids' outlooks. We know that poor kids tend to have sort of lower aspirations or hopes for the future. Not that they're not hopeful, but they sort of also know that some of the things that they see may be depicted on TV that are open to other kids may not be an option for them; because they simply don't see a path between where they are and how they're going to get there. That is actually pretty sobering. I'd like for you to explain something about households with children, and I noticed that a lot of our conversation is going to not focus on an individual child but about children in household context. So, how does poverty look different for households with children than households without children? Is there a difference? Yes, there's a difference in poverty rates. One of the things that distinguishes poverty in the United States relative to poverty in other Western or developed countries is that we have very, very high rates of child poverty. And one of the biggest risk factors, in fact, for being poor in the United States is being a kid. Kids tend to have higher poverty rates than other groups. Why is that? Well, obviously kids aren't out making money. They're relying on their parents for their financial wellbeing. But it really has to do with the public policy choices that we've made. Your listeners have probably heard of Social Security and Medicaid, and those are two huge programs that make huge differences in the lives of say, people over the age of 65. We really don't have those kinds of corollaries for kids who are poor. And so, when you look at our policy priorities over the past, say half century, they've really been oriented more towards elderly people rather than kids. That's just a policy choice that we have made. Thank you for sharing that. I know in some of the work that you've done, you've also looked at these issues through an equity lens. Can you tell us a little bit more about the wealth inequalities of households with children. And how does that work shape how we should look at child wellbeing? We've been talking up until this point primarily about income, which for most people is the money that they earn through their job. We think about income as the money that flows into your house. There's also this really important concept, which is called wealth. Wealth is a household's assets minus its debts. So, for most households, their primary asset is their house. And then they might have debts because they owe money on their house, or they have medical loans or education loans or things like that. So, wealth in the US is distributed far more unequally than income. In particular, the racial gaps in wealth are staggering. So, in the US, for every dollar of wealth that is held by a white family with children, a black family has less than 1 cent. Again, that's a $1 to less than 1 cent ratio. When you have those kinds of inequities, it's really hard for some families to make a difference in the lives of their kids. We know that wealth really helps, for example, for kids to go to college or to make a successful transition to young adulthood. And when we have these kinds of race-based inequities, it really hampers some of these kids from realizing their full potential. I know we have a number of colleagues like Sandy Darity who work on this racial wealth gap. So, this is a critical topic that has influence on how we need to think about these issues. And that's going to connect a topic that I have worked on, and that's a great interest of our center. It's the topic of food insecurity. Christina, can you help connect childhood poverty to food insecurity? Food insecurity, as many of your listeners may know, is the ability to have enough food for a healthy, active lifestyle. Not surprisingly, being poor puts you at increased risk of being food insecure. It's probably the predominant risk factor for being food insecure. The reason we care about that is because we know that food insecurity has all kinds of detrimental consequences for children. So, we were talking earlier about wellbeing covering a wide range of outcomes. Food insecurity really diminishes kids' wellbeing in many of those areas that we were talking about. Kids who are food insecure are less healthy, they do less well in school, they may have more behavior problems. So, food insecurity is really something that can undermine the life chances of children. I'm interested in now turning our focus to this issue of policy. We're at a policy school and I would like for you to talk a bit about what our current policies are for addressing food insecurity. For children, there are a number of food programs in the US. I would say the three most relevant ones for children are SNAP or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Benefits, and WIC, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women and Children. And then there is a free and reduced lunch program. Those programs together really try to address food insufficiency among children. The evidence suggests that they work pretty well. None of them by themselves are going to reduce all food insecurity among kids, but they definitely lessen the levels of food insecurity that kids experience.  There was an article in the "New York Times" about a year ago, the Fall of 2022, and it talked about readjustments to the measure of poverty, and they followed the family out of West Virginia. One of the things they did was they looked at the income that this family received, and it showed that 25% of the total, if you will, resources that came into this family were food-based programs, WIC, SNAP, and School Lunch Program. So, it's an important part of how families with limited resources are able to meet some of their needs. I'm appreciative of you sharing that. I think it's absolutely vital, particularly when you think about families that may be living in places with really high rents. There's been a lot of talk lately about how the cost of housing has gone up, and really these sources of food assistance that they get from the government is just absolutely critical to helping them meet the basic needs of their families. So absolutely, these food assistance programs are just a linchpin of how these families survive. It's interesting now that we're in this moment of debating the Farm Bill, which is the federal program that supports SNAP, how it's important for us to keep in mind that beneficiary of the SNAP program are children and children whose wellbeing can be affected by a program like this. I'm grateful for this conversation. Now, how effective are these policies at reducing food insecurity and addressing child wellbeing? These programs work fairly well. They're not, I would say, large enough or convey enough resources to eradicate levels of food insecurity. I think it's also important for your listeners to know that there is no such thing as a federal food policy. So, we let states set the limits, for example, as to how much they're going to spend on SNAP. This leads to large variations in like the SNAP limits. So, for example, if you live in New York, you get about $100 more in SNAP benefits than if you live in Oklahoma. So, what does this mean? It means that these programs are going to be more effective in some states than in others, simply because of the amount of resources that people may get based on where they live. As we wrap up, I wonder if you have any other points of consideration about policy and how policies that we currently have can actually help us address child wellbeing more effectively. One of the other things that distinguishes the US food policy landscape, if you will, is we also have a relatively large private sector. So, people may be familiar with food banks or other places where they distribute food. And, you know, that's sort of the best and the worst that America has to offer, right? The best is that charitable organizations recognize the importance of providing food for people. And these organizations are very effective at providing meals and groceries, and it's a really important source for these families. But I say it's also the worst because there's a giant need for these private sector places. And because the provision of these private sector food goods can vary depending on where you live or how much money the nonprofit organization has, it can be a very variable source of support for food. So, in some ways, our food policy landscape is kind of a crapshoot, if you will. And that I think that makes it hard for us really to get a handle on childhood food insecurity. Bio Christina M.

We're revisiting our conversation with Mark Rank, a poverty expert, professor, and author of Poorly Understood: What America Gets Wrong About Poverty. We discuss the true causes and systemic nature of poverty, and poverty reduction as being both moral and smart public policy.Musical ChairsAmerican poverty is a bit like a game of musical chairs. The US only has good opportunities for 8 out of 10 Americans, meaning 2 people always lose. Instead of adding new opportunities or chairs, we shuffle the opportunities around, but 2 of every 10 people still end up without the opportunities. This shows that poverty is a result of the systems we have in place, not personal shortcomings, and if we continue shuffling the opportunities, we will continue having a poverty problem. Poverty MythsBeing poor in the US is subject to several damaging myths that make it harder to reduce poverty rates country-wide. We think of a poverty rate between 10-15% of the US population, but shockingly 60-75% of Americans will spend at least one year of their lives in poverty. Another myth blames poor Americans for their own poverty, not the systems that maintain poverty in America. We also assume the costs of poverty are borne by the poor, but US taxpayers pay more than $1 trillion per year due to the externalities of poverty. Social Safety NetsThe US has a much weaker social safety net than other developed countries. We view poverty as a personal shortcoming that is not to be rewarded with welfare programs or healthcare. Since we think the poor are undeserving of help, we do not invest in social safety nets, creating high rates of poverty. Social safety nets reduce poverty by 75-80% in other counties, whereas the US safety net only reduces it by 25-30%. The most successful anti-poverty program in the US is Social Security.FIND OUT MORE:Mark R. Rank is recognized as a foremost expert on issues of poverty, inequality, and social justice.  His research on the life course risk of poverty has demonstrated for the first time that most Americans will experience poverty at some point during their lives.

According to the Center for American Progress, 1 in 7 children fall under the poverty line and this was pre-pandemic. Over a year into the pandemic, 4 out of 10 children live in a family that struggles to meet basic needs and anywhere between seven to eleven million children live in a household with inconsistent access to meals from cost. It's safe to say poverty, especially generational poverty, is the root of thousands of issues that plague our nation. Today's guest has dedicated her life to advising educators and employers about the effects of generational poverty. Ruby Payne is a former lifelong educator, a Doctorate Recipient in Education and Development from Layola University Chicago, and the Founder of the aha Process! Inc, a group that informs schools, companies and other organizations about poverty. Ruby has authored a number of books focusing on the effects of poverty, most notably “A Framework for Understanding Poverty,” which looks at the effects of poverty from both an economical and psychological perspective and has since sold over 1.5 million copies since it's publication. With 1 in 2 jobs considered sub-poverty line paying jobs, the work Ruby is doing is more crucial than ever, especially during a time when employers are struggling to find workers and many workers are struggling to make ends meet. We can't have a truly inclusive discussion about the workforce, without addressing poverty so...let's bring it in!

In this episode in our special bonus series on poverty, Dr Angie Bexley joins us to discuss Indonesia’s recent progress on poverty reduction, and what the findings of the Individual Measure of Multidimensional Poverty reveal about deprivation in the country’s remote eastern provinces.Southeast Asia’s largest economy, Indonesia, has made major strides in poverty reduction in recent decades. But official measures, which rely on household income alone, can only tell policymakers part of the story. New research through the Individual Measure of Multidimensional Poverty (IMMP) project has provided a much more in-depth view of poverty in the country’s eastern regions. So what does this study tell us about patterns of poverty in Indonesia? And how can policymakers use this information to ensure no-one gets left behind? In the fourth episode in our ‘Making the invisible, visible’ bonus series, Dr Angie Bexley from the IMMP joins host Aarti Betigeri to talk about the dimensions of deprivation in the world’s fourth most populous nation.Dr Angie Bexley is the Deputy Director of the Children's Policy Centre and Senior Research Fellow at the Poverty and Inequality Centre. Angie was lead author of the Individual Deprivation Measure (now known as IMMP) Indonesia reports.Aarti Betigeri is a multi-platform journalist and former foreign correspondent. She is a correspondent for Monocle and contributes to various other local and international media outlets.Policy Forum Pod is available on Acast, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Subscribe on Android or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of the Building Us podcast, co-hosts Erik Garcia, CFP® and Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFT discuss a little bit about their roots, when and where they started working together, and the idea of how couples can have healthy conversations around money.Episode Highlights:What are some ground rules for healthy communication, and for having a healthy conversation? (2:32)Matt talks about the importance of staying connected. If you conflict with somebody, you want to try to stay connected to them. (4:17)Matt shares that he doesn’t want people to use aggressive and verbally abusive language to each other. (4:49)Erik mentions that sometimes money is like the window into our souls, and money makes us feel vulnerable. (5:58)Matt says that curiosity is the other side of communication. (6:47)What are some healthy questions that couples can ask each other? (7:12)Erik shares that retirement is somewhat a goal, but it's a goal that doesn't have an end. (7:39)Matt talks about the attitude and values of money. (7:39)Erik thinks that part of understanding your attitude is understanding the environment in which you were raised. (9:43)Matt sees that when couples are coming together, sometimes one of them grew up in a home where money was handled in a very healthy way, very open way, and the other spouse or partner was raised in an environment where money was more toxic in some way. (10:18)Matt says that debt was something that he and his spouse needed to talk about. (13:10)Matt shares that feelings are significant and feelings often drive our reactions and behaviors about money. (13:54)Erik shares a good example of understanding your partner in terms of how they feel about money. (14:36)Matt mentions that his financial values have changed from being entirely about himself to partly about him, partly about others, and leaving a legacy. (16:12)Erik shares that money is one of the issues where he often sees people don’t have healthy conversations. (16:40)Matt talks about financial skills and habits. (17:03)Erik shares a story about his first wedding anniversary. (17:32)Erik mentions that couples that report on having less financial conflict, tend to have healthier and more intimate lives. (19:55)Matt shares that generally for couples, their finances get more complicated over time, and even if they have good foundational skills, those skills and habits may need to adjust over time. (20:45)Matt talks about creating a Venn diagram for couples’ values and skills. (23:28)Erik mentions the book entitled A Framework for Understanding Poverty, by Ruby Payne. (24:37)Matt talks about collaboration and communication. (27:44)Matt talks about being able to communicate openly and transparently. (29:39)Matt shares that a lot of people when they're worried about something, will just avoid it and come up with 100 different reasons not to talk about it. (30:21)Matt mentions that stress can sometimes come out as anger and criticism but it can sometimes come out as shutting down and avoiding it. (30:49)Erik mentions that in his e-book, he talked about how to distill financial principles that transcend income, and transcends wealth. (32:44)Erik shares that the ground rule of healthy communication if you're asking questions, is to ask questions to learn. (37:14)Matt mentions that the great ground rule is not to ask a question with the intention to educate your partner. (37:47)Key Quotes:“If we meet judgment too quickly, it's going to shut down one person and it just shuts the communication down.” - Erik Garcia, CFP®“Money taps into scarcity and fear and some of those really powerful emotions that all of us wrestle with.” - Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFT“It's very difficult to be in a relationship with someone if you don't understand their values and if you don't understand their attitudes. Money is one of those things where I see so often that people just don't have healthy conversations about it.” – Erik Garcia, CFP®“The less financial stress a couple reports, the more satisfactory intimacy they experience.” - Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFT“If you can connect your reaction and your emotional reaction to a deeper fear, it will help you explain that better to your partner, and if your partner in their own curiosity can understand that, hear that and validate that even if you don't ever agree, you can stay much more connected in the process.” - Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFTResources Mentioned:Erik Garcia, CFP®Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFTGarcia Financial GroupMatt Morris & AssociatesA Framework for Understanding Poverty

This week I spoke with the very first guest of Another Progressive Podcast, Eri Noguchi, a social worker working at the Association to Benefit Children, and adjunct professor at Columbia University and Hunter College. Eri works with children and families living in poverty, and understands what poverty looks like on a broad scale. Among many issues, we discuss the classic "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality , the history of income distribution in America, the flaws in the method for measuring poverty, the ways in which poverty plays out in all aspects of a person's life, and the Universal Basic Income. It's a great conversation that provides a comprehensive understanding of how poverty works, one that most people, left and right, don't fully recognize. So check it out!

Our world view is based largely on our experiences so how can we reach people with a different world view; particularly those who live in poverty? By understanding the poor of our communities, we can more effectively reach them with the Gospel.

Use the Bridges to Healthcare and What Every Church Member Should Know About Poverty models to better equip faith based leaders by helping them understand and elevate the level of care for their members. Understanding socio-economic status from the pews can serve as a prevention strategy as well as a proactive approach for barrier elimination in the event that people have a hospital encounter.

If you're building relationships with students or families living in poverty, you need to listen to this podcast! After attending a Loving Houston 101 Workshop several years ago, Pastor Parris started partnerships with two schools in Alief ISD. He then founded the Alief Coalition for the Homeless to ensure that homeless students in the district were being cared for effectively. Just recently, he came across Ruby Payne's Understanding Poverty materials which have profoundly transformed the way he and his volunteers relate to the students which has made a profound impact on the difference they are making. We've split the podcast into two separate podcasts because there were too many amazing insights to squeeze into one - get ready to take some notes! --- As early as eight years old, Pastor Parris started dreaming that he would become a pastor one day. That dream fueled a passion in him that fast became evident in his establishment of the Agape Community Bible Church in late June of 2009. In 2015, he founded and now serves as Executive Director of Alief Coalition for the Homeless, a non-profit organization that works to end homelessness amongst the children of Alief ISD. Today, they’re fundraising to build a youth shelter to house homeless children. Through the application of God’s Word, Pastor Parris shows love to the Body of Christ by reaching out to the community and evangelizing the city abroad. He is looking forward to seeing the phenomenal growth of his community.

Today we discuss a book that I read a long time ago that I had HK take a look at this week. The book is called "A framework for Understanding Poverty" by Ruby K. Payne, Ph.D. The book talks about the very different rules that belong to different classes and the blind-sides that might occur when people shift from one setting to another. The book has helped me as a teacher and has definitely given me insight into some unexpected things that have happened in our first year with HK.

"Understanding Poverty" is the topic of conversation between the Hunters. They dive into many of the ideas Ruby Payne shared in her 1995 book by the same name and talk about the experiences they have had in working with people fighting the challenges of poverty.

This excerpt introduces readers to Ruby Payne's book, From Understanding Poverty to Developing Human Capacity.

Actively engaging study participants in research to give them a voice is a method that has grown in popularity in recent years. But does this approach really give people a voice and if so how? In his research project "Do Participatory Visual Methods Give 'Voice'?" Dr Daniel McCulloch from the Open University investigates participatory visual methods to see if they can shine a light on how best to help people in poverty.

In this episode, aha! Process founder Ruby Payne discusses her book A Framework for Understanding Poverty and 10 Actions to Educate Students.

This is an excerpt from Ruby Payne's book A Framework for Understanding Poverty, which has sold more than 1.8 million copies.

In light of these differences, he points to key areas of research and policy that may be helpful in responding to poverty and disadvantage in the 21st century.

Ok, I know we all are busy and it is so easy to say,  "You know I will gladly read something tomorrow, but today, I just need to do this."  Come on, you know what I'm talking about.  Just say no to that inclination.  You need to be constantly learning if you are going to work with kids.  Classroom teacher, building administrator, instructional coach,  athletic coach, graduation coach, so forth and so on.
