Homeless But Human Christ in the City
-
- Society & Culture
Join us as we answer common questions and hesitations about serving the poor. Our desire is to empower even more people to understand the complexity of homelessness and to discover practical and relational solutions for real change. You’ll also have an opportunity to listen to the homeless and have a window into their lives.
Just imagine— the impact it would make if that homeless person you pass had even just one friend who knew them by name and cared about them beyond just a passing handout. What difference would that make to that person, to you, and to your local community? And if more people joined together in this mission— what difference would we make to the world?

Summer Series: Stories from Lincoln
On this weeks episode of Homeless but Human, we are concluding our summer series with the Lincoln team! Erin and Ryan join us to discuss:
• The impact and support of alumni and the community of Lincoln.
• First hand look into homeless ministry in a shelter.
• The power of someone recognizing how much someone deserves to be loved.
Jesus says in the Gospel, the poor you'll always have. Yeah. So even if there is no homeless on the streets, someone's poor out there that you can go and love.
We are so thankful for all the support and love we received in each city this past summer. If you ever want to volunteer with us or more information on our mission, you can email volunteer@christinthecity.org. -
