A Normal Week: Church, Relief, and Food Access

In this episode, Josh and Kristel walk through a typical week in their lives, highlighting the work of Haven City Church (https://baltimorechurch.com), The Baltimore Relief Network (https://baltimorerelief.com), and The Food Access Coalition (https://feedbaltimore.com). They share food distribution numbers from their Tuesday and Friday operations, discuss how 30% of food produced worldwide goes to waste (https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/30-food-produced-worldwide-goes-waste), and explore what it means to live in a food desert using Baltimore City's mapping data (https://planning.baltimorecity.gov/maps-data). The conversation shifts to immigration myths and the current political climate, drawing from Benjamin Cremer's theological response (https://benjamin-cremer.kit.com/a-theological-response-to) and data on changing marriage patterns in the US (https://usafacts.org/articles/how-has-marriage-in-the-us-changed-over-time/). They also tackle why people don't trust charities (https://www.perplexity.ai) and end on a lighter note with some puppy videos (https://www.instagram.com/reel/). This is a public episode.
