Jesus taught his followers to help the poor. Yet there is much confusion about the most effective and biblical means for doing so. In this episode, Sean McDowell and Scott Rae talk with Dan Anderson, pastor at the Urban Rescue Mission, about how Christians can make a genuine and lasting difference for the poor. Dan shares some memorable and life-changing stories. 

After serving in Pastoral ministry in the local church for twenty-five years, God has called Dan Anderson into full-time compassion ministry. Pastor Dan is currently serving as the Staff Pastor to 175 employees at the Union Rescue Mission in Skid Row in Los Angeles, CA where he also serves as the Director of Strategic Partnerships.
