In this episode, we begin the conversation The Church - Social Saviors or Social Servants. We explore the mission of the church beginning with a look at some past experiences with outreach. We discuss how instead of feeding people, like Jesus, we are called to eat and be in relationship with them. Then Tom drops a bomb on Justin where he redefines the “least of these” and well…we hope you enjoy!
