Okay first of all this episode has a 5-minute intro that I made while taking a morning walk so forgive the breathing and tempo of my speech and enjoy the birds singing in the background. The rest of this episode is a recording from a class that I taught for the Underground Network's Elders in Training course. in this class I lay out some of the core convictions and philosophies of my life in regard to God's heart for the poor and the place of poverty in our own lives. If I were trying to reverse engineer myself and the work of my life, I would argue that this would be a key class among maybe five lessons at the heart of my own making. I hope you find it engaging and valuable for your own development.
