Homeless people are not the problem. They are the result of the problems in our society.
Ever wondered how homelessness and addiction intertwine, especially in a bustling city like Seattle? In this eye-opening episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain tackles the complex relationship between living on the streets and battling addiction. With homelessness on the rise, particularly in urban areas, David delves into whether addiction is a cause or a consequence of homelessness—or perhaps both.

What do you see when you pass a homeless person? David challenges listeners to go beyond the surface and consider the unique needs and stories of each individual. He also emphasizes the importance of fighting against stigmatization and viewing homeless people through a lens of compassion and brotherly love.
This episode isn't just about understanding; it's a call to action. David encourages everyone to take steps in their own communities to support homeless individuals, offering practical advice on how to help them access essential services and addiction treatment.
