God has already placed people in your life that you can display mercy to. Who are these people? How are you experiencing poverty in your own life? Amy unpacks this idea of coming alongside the poor and marginalized in our city with the realization that we have been given an overflow of mercy from God. Listen to hear about how God continues to use Veritas Mercy to be a bridge builder in local communities and what it looks like to weave word and deed together.
