Episode notes

Curtis: Imagine if the great Chicago fire was happening today in your city. Would you run around saying to people, hey, are you Baptist or Pentecostal because we need to put out this fire? He says it doesn't care whether any of those labels, they just pierce anything that's in front of it. Curtis: We have about 170 churches that are collaborating together like never before. And so everybody is kind of has a veldtenschung where everybody looks up and realizes we cannot do this alone.

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.
