Dia-Logos Podcast - Ep 10 - Grace and The Power of Stopping
Loading player...
What happens when our busy schedules collide with someone else’s crisis?
In this moving episode Brad sits down with analytical strategist and investigative journalist Mike Burnard to unpack a profound story. It begins with a chance encounter on a Monday morning walk: a young mother named Grace digging through rubbish bags, desperate to feed her six-year-old daughter.
As Brad and Mike dive into Grace's story, they reveal a stark and uncomfortable contrast. George, South Africa, boasts one of the highest church densities in the world—yet over 73% of its population lives below the poverty line. How does a town spiritually "obese" allow its neighbors to sleep on wet mattresses under scrap material in icy weather?
Drawing powerful parallels to Jesus stopping for the blind beggar Bartimaeus (Mark 10) and the sobering call of Matthew 25, this episode challenges us to move beyond passive Christianity.
