Being a Good Neighbor

Today Stori and Adam talk about Luke 10:25-37, a story many of us are familiar with - the Good Samaritan. Adam gives a bit of context about the relationship between Jews and Samaritans. They talk a lot about not only how helping our neighbor reflects on us as individuals but also as a community and how that affects our resilience to trauma and adversity.

Adam shares a little about his work with Second Home, connecting unhoused youth with homes in their communities and he also shares an important data point - Oregon has one of the highest rates of unaccompanied homeless youth in the nation. If you are interested in finding out how to help in a profound and impactful way, please reach out to Adam.
