Episode 82 | Loving Our Neighbors, Part 2: The Homeless

May 4, 2022    Autumn Gardner, Ben Sooy

Loving our neighbor means reflecting the grace, mercy, and generosity we have personally received from God in the spaces in which we’ve been purposefully placed. Ben Sooy joins Autumn to talk about his work at Joshua Station, a housing facility run by Mile High Ministries that serves families transitioning out of homelessness.

In Denver, three interconnected issues of homelessness, housing affordability, and social isolation keep many individuals and families trapped in chronic housing instability. How does Jesus' expectation that his followers actively love our neighbors in a self-sacrificial manner compel us to act on behalf of the vulnerable people in our communities? And how might churches in Denver respond to the needs of our homeless neighbors?
