In place of our regular interview episode, this month we have the first episode of our new podcast, Reading Mission, available wherever you get your podcasts!
Welcome to Reading Mission, our new book club podcast recorded live in our Discord server every fortnight! In this first episode, Emily and Mitch sit down to read through the first chapter of Make Poverty Personal: Taking the Poor as Seriously as the Bible does by Dr. Ash Barker.
In this episode we talk about the importance of justice and eliminating poverty to the Christian mission, how God's heart breaks for people who are experiencing poverty and oppression, and learn some leadership tips—and some excuses—from the story of Moses.
Covered in this episode: Forward by Shane Claiborne, Introduction, and Chapter 1: Beyond Excuses.
Get a copy of Make Poverty Personal from your local bookstore or Christian retailer, or online.
Correction: At around 1:10, Mitch says that Make Poverty Personal was republished in 2019. It was actually republished in 2009.
