&lt;p&gt;Someone at the gate. A hand at the traffic light. A family struggling to get by. Poverty is never far away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s easy to think of poverty as someone else’s problem. But perhaps the difference between “us” and “them” is that some of us simply have more options when life gets hard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what does Jesus expect from us?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the first instalment of this new mini-series, discover why meaningful help takes more than good intentions – and why sometimes the hardest thing to give isn't money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click to listen and discover a different way of seeing poverty, compassion and what it means to help.&lt;/p&gt;
