THIS EPISODE

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie begin a discussion of Jesus and the poor. They respond to the assertion that Jesus said, "The poor you will always have." They do so by looking at the OT context for this quote and argue that the people of God are called to be advocates for a just society in which "there shall be no poor among you" (Deut 15:4). What does this mean for the Church?

Rob recommended:

Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow

Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Vinnie also noted:

Tim Keller, Generous Justice
