And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt (Deut. 10:19). When God's people come across immigrants and refugees they are not left without instruction from God on how to behave; they are told to love.  Join Pastors Eric & Justin as they speak with Matthew Soerens, U.S. director of church mobilization for World Relief and coauthor of Welcoming the Stranger, as they continue The Intersection's fall series: Life & Breath.

Often advocacy requires courage as systems and structures that exclude and oppress can be intimidating. We fear we might lose our belonging in whatever tribe in which we seek safety, we fear standing alone. In Dr. Russell Moore's new book, The Courage To Stand, he challenges readers, from the life of Elijah, to reject cowardice and embrace gospel courage, not the bravado of our very anxious times, but the gospel courage that calls us to be crucified. Join us for this conversation with him.

There are three main groups that we are talking about when we talk about homelessness; the homeless, the houseless, and the unsheltered. How do we care for each of these groups, as intervention could curb human trafficking, crime, substance abuse, and so much more. No wonder the Lord is regularly rebuking His people for not caring for those who are in great financial need.
