This week Scott and Luis talk about the idea of people are people, not projects. In this episode, Scott and Luis address some of the biblical reasoning to how people should be treated. The main idea is that although every person has work to be done in their life, they are still a valuable person and not some project to get done. After a brief discussion on this idea, a friend of the podcast, Valerie Todd, joins us for an interview! Valerie has a deeply impactful story of how Jesus transformed her life and how she brought this entire concept to Luis while in Philadelphia. You don't want to miss this radical interview! People are not projects, but people to be loved! Thank you for listening.
