Respond and Engage! GUEST: Veteran educator and religious columnist Dr. Judy Knotts<\/a><\/strong> collects stories drawn from her interactions with members of an urban homeless community in Texas. Her professional career has centered on education as a consultant to schools, school head, and writer. She is interested in how human beings develop and become who they are. Dr. Knotts\u2019 journey into the homeless world began when she was in her sixties and continues into her seventies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most Americans had a day off from the ordinary routine of labor as we observed the Labor Day holiday. What can we learn from these kinds of scheduled annual observances about the significance of weekly Sabbath rest? Paul offers his perspective on what he calls “the Sabbath Frame of Mind,” and its importance to our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being – and most fundamentally, our relationship with the God who created us for work. And rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A new two-part study published in\u00a0<\/em>Christian Higher Education<\/em><\/a> shows how common it is for students at evangelical colleges and universities to struggle with their faith. In fact, they are more likely to feel unsettled about spiritual matters, unsure of their beliefs, disillusioned with their religious upbringing, distant from God, or angry with God than their peers at secular schools as well as those at mainline Protestant and Catholic institutions. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n CP: HB Charles Jr warns ‘entertainment-driven worship is idolatrous’<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n RNS: Why Jimmy Al-Daoud\u2019s deportation and death hurts all Americans<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RNS: At first Muslim presidential forum, Sanders reaps adoration of ISNA attendees<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RNS: Dinner church movement sets the table for food, faith and friendships<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LISTEN LIVE AT 1:00 PM ET Respond and Engage!TALK TO PAUL ON-AIR: 313.272.5600 You Are My Brother: Lessons Learned from Embracing a Homeless Community GUEST: Veteran educator and religious columnist Dr. Judy Knotts collects stories drawn from her interactions with … Continue reading

Dr. Knotts became deeply familiar with the members of this community in 2003, after she participated in a 72-hour, total-immersion “Street Retreat”–an experience spearheaded by a local food-truck homeless-outreach group called Mobile Loaves & Fishes. The author was initially unaware of the squalid conditions, hunger, and desperation that people living on the streets experienced, but her eyes were opened after she spent three days and nights without food or shelter herself. She was immediately inspired to learn more about Austin’s homeless people and to work toward potential solutions for their enduring plight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
