Finding Jesus on the Streets - Part 1

Dr. James Dobson`s Family Talk - A podcast by Dr. James Dobson

Categories:

Did you know that there are over half a million Americans who are homeless? Can you imagine what it’s like to live on the streets? No bed or shower. No easy way to get food or a job. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Mike Yankoski, the author of Under the Overpass, shares with Dr. James Dobson his experience of going undercover to learn how the homeless community lives. Throughout his five-month journey, he lost 25 pounds, grew his hair and beard, and eventually repelled people by his body odor. As Mike ate out of the trash, was ignored, and even witnessed a violent encounter, he felt dehumanized and disgusting. His experience gave him increased Christ-life compassion for those who really are homeless.
