Summary:
In this episode, Dan is joined by his friend and fellow Christian Chris McCluskey to discuss the unnecessary separation between doing “good” for others and doing “good” for yourself. Listen as Dan and Chris talk about scripture’s role surrounding money, why giving away charitably isn’t always what’s best for people in need, and why meeting people in a place of vulnerability is the best way to find out what they really require to improve their lives.
