What does Biblical Justice really mean? How should followers of Jesus respond to some of the most difficult challenges facing our communities today?

In this special roundtable episode of Words of Life, host Chris Benjamin is joined by Dr. Ian Mudge, Major Sandra Pawar, Hilary DeJarnett, and Sheena Evans. Together, they begin a thoughtful series exploring topics such as mental health, addiction recovery, homelessness, poverty, refugee care, human trafficking, trauma-informed ministry, and Christian compassion.

Rather than approaching these issues through politics or opinion, this conversation focuses on Scripture and God's heart for people. Our guests share their personal faith journeys, ministry experiences, and the calling that led them to serve those facing some of life's greatest challenges.
