62 - On Homelessness with Kevin Nye
If there's anything that gets us riled up, it's talking about homelessness and all the things that we as a society are just NOT doing. This week, our friend Kevin Nye has come to talk to us about his new book, "Grace Can Lead Us Home: A Christian Call to End Homelessness," and his experience working with our unhoused siblings. We get into what the church is doing wrong and, YES, what the church is doing... right. This conversation is full of passion and heart and some comedic relief... because how else are we supposed to handle such sad topics?!
