Curtis: The thing that keeps me going is just frankly my own walk with Christ. I think the other thing that's on a macro scale that's been so encouraging, we're now up to 60 staff members working across five areas of work. So the hope comes from not just hope in unfounded hope, but hope on reality, right? That God is actually doing a real work. And as Michael said, people really are open. It brings tears to my eyes when you just, you know, red, yellow, black and white altogether pranked the same Lord Jesus Christ.

How can Christian respond to the epidemic of gun violence sweeping our country? Michael Allen and David Dillon join us to share about their inspiring work with Together Chicago. They are an unlikely pair in a racially divided city torn by violence: Michael is a former black pastor and David is a white business executive. Starting with their own friendship, Michael and David have led an innovative and inspiring campaign to counter the evil of gun violence with collaboration and hope.
