Churches and Homelessness

“The church… has turned into something I simply do not understand.” ~Pastor Scott

In Episode 67 of Straight Talk, No B.S. with Matthew’s Hope, presented by Imagine Marketing, Pastor Scott and Shelley discuss the role that churches play, or don’t play, in helping those in our communities experiencing homelessness.

Many may assume that churches would be first in line to raise money, volunteer spaces or donate services to organizations like Matthew’s Hope, but they would be incorrect. There are exceptions of course, but you may be surprised to hear how most churches respond when they are approached to help in times of need.

Are modern-day churches really aligned with the teachings they profess to follow? How did we get here? What could/should be done?

Each week, Pastor Scott, Shelley and guests share their experiences from operating a homeless outreach in Florida's Orange and Brevard Counties to raise awareness and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the homeless crisis in America today.
