I Got Your Back

Gisela's Story: How BridgeBuilders Helps People Succeed

Gisela Romero was referred to our employment training class (Nov-Dec 2017) through one of our community partners, Dr. Parker at Soul Church.  She had two friends from the church who had also graduated from our program, so she knew what to expect and was very “motivated” towards accomplishing her goal of culinary school.  But first, Gisela had broken areas of her life that she needed to work through…

The Cure for Poverty, Pt. 3

n our first two posts, we have examined the nature of God's creation and how rebellion against God – sin – has shattered and broken what God intended to be good and flourish.

I want to make sure that the root of the issue is clear before I explain how to tear it up. As the old maxim goes, “A problem well defined is half-solved.” So, let’s continue defining.

Why Should We Redeem Society?

It seems necessary to address why and even if Christians should be involved in redeeming society and culture.
