#29 Is poverty a result of personal failure—or a symptom of a broken system? In this episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with Christians, host Paul Basden explores the deeply human and deeply biblical dimensions of poverty, challenging us to think beyond politics and toward compassion.
Join us as we explore: Global and national poverty statistics that demand attention Why God’s Word speaks so directly—and urgently—about the poor (Jeremiah 5:28, Isaiah 58:6-7, James 2:1-6) What Jesus meant when he said he came to bring “Good News to the poor” (Luke 4:18) How followers of Christ can move from helplessness to practical, grace-filled action
Is poverty just a fact of life—or is it something God calls us to fight against? Tune in for a challenging, hopeful conversation that reframes how we see the least of these.
