Throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, access to food is cut off by devastating impact of COVID, natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, and drought), and rising prices. In agricultural communities, there has often been no planting or harvests due to drought, flooding, or quarantine. The price of the available food is skyrocketing. Many markets and farms are closed, so parents are unable to earn money. And schools, which often provide impoverished children their only meal, are closed or families cannot afford even the lowest school fees.

In many communities, hunger is becoming starvation.

An expert from Food for the Poor joins Brian and Aubrey to describe financial desperation facing families in the Caribbean and Latin America, and how listeners can be a part of the solution.

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.
