How Are People Experiencing Poverty in America | Missions

Doug Logan, President of Grimke Seminary, explores the multifaceted issue of poverty in America. Speaking at Christ Covenant Church, Doug breaks down the real-life impact of generational poverty, healthcare disparities, and the lack of churches in impoverished urban communities. With over two decades of ministry experience, Doug challenges us to rethink how the church can step in to address both the spiritual and physical needs of the poor.

His insights focus on the gospel being at the center of lasting change, while addressing practical realities like food insecurity, education gaps, and more.
