So when the holy spirit doesn't specifically tell you what to do, how do you decide? The reality is, if you want to truly help this person move the needle towards stability, you're going to have to get involved in their life, ask questions, learn their story, discover the heartaches and the reasons why they're here.
Ever felt a pang of guilt when passing a homeless person and not knowing how to help? In this episode of 'The Trauma Informed Church' podcast, Suzanne Burns tackles these tough questions head-on. She dives into the complex issues facing the homeless, from trauma and addiction to the often unseen barriers they encounter daily. But it’s not just about handing out spare change or a sandwich.

She discusses practical ways to get involved, like asking about their needs and providing tailored support that goes beyond temporary fixes. The episode also sheds light on the shortcomings of many existing programs and explores how we can work towards real, systemic change.
