The fullness of the mission of Christ includes a heart for the poor. This is pretty central, actually, but somehow doesn’t always get a lot of airtime. This isn’t just something we do, but who we are. It’s not just a Christian thing — this is being like Jesus. And even once that heart is developed and the desire is there, the how can be unclear. How do we live the Gospel this way?
In this episode: examining our heart for the poor, and how to live this out in everyday life. How to love like Jesus.

Love and the Cross
What’s your initial response to difficulty? Difficulty and suffering are part of our world, and to move forward with the Lord, we have to live in this reality, even though it’s hard. God is with us in it! One of the things a father also has to do is to teach their children and equip their children to do hard things.
