In this episode we trade jazz piano for graffiti. We ask: “What if we reframed the witness of your church as receiving Jesus’ healing, and extending Jesus’ healing, in your neighbourhood?” In this episode, Mark walks the streets of Canada’s poorest postal-code with philosopher and pastor, Dr Jamie Hellewell. Jamie has been a resident of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side for twenty years.
