Read MoreWhy Good Intentions Aren’t Enough
How we diagnose the problem of poverty directly impacts how we will seek to address it. If we treat only the symptoms or if we misdiagnose the underlying problem, we will not improve the situation—and we might actually make the lives of the materially poor worse in the long run.

Read MoreWorship and Fighting Poverty
We don’t often connect our work in fighting poverty (and economic life more generally) with our worship of the living God. But we should.

Read MoreRace, Materialism, and the False God of Western Civilization
If we are transformed into the image of whatever we worship, and our culture worships the pursuit of material wealth and pleasure, then racial injustice must have something to do with this.
