with guest Dr. Brian Fikkert, The Chalmers Institute, author of bestseller When Helping Hurts.
In North America, success often means lots of stuff — material wealth. Then, poverty is the lack of material wealth. And so, to help someone in poverty is to make sure they have more stuff! But is that what poverty is really all about?
Dr. Brian Fikkert hits us with a healthier way of understanding who is “the poor” (spoiler: it might include YOU, too) and how we should look at poverty. What should our goal be when trying to help, and not hurt?
