In this episode, we’re talking about a hotly debated question- should you give to people who beg for money?
This question was posed in one Nathaniel's classes (Ethics of Wealth and Poverty) for an assignment.
When you are walking on the street or driving in your car, and you see someone asking for money, should you give it to them?
Everyone has faced a scenario similar to this. Unless you live off the grid, in which case you probably aren’t actually reading this. This is a question Christians NEED to wrestle with and need to be prepared for.
Failing to plan is planning to fail. If we don’t know how we biblically and personally want to approach these kinds of situations we will default to either not giving money or giving a little bit of change but wondering if we’re doing the right thing.
