A few years ago, God highlighted to me that I wasn’t thinking about supporting community members in need as much as I should, especially since he clearly calls us to love our neighbour. Proverbs 28:27 says, “Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.” Whoa! This language might be strong but isn’t meant to shame us. Rather when God highlights his will to us, we have an opportunity to respond, amen?

In this episode, we’ll look at what God says about supporting people experiencing poverty; the impact of financial, gift-in-kind, and gently used donations; and how churches can help. I’ll also share a few stories from my work in the urban non-profit space this year along with a powerful new Fred Victor campaign that asks an important question during this gift-giving season:

“What do you get the person who has nothing?”
