The Good Neighbor: How to Become a Healing Agent in a Hurting World

 

Sexual brokenness is all around us but few know how to personally help individuals and families that are struggling. With the mainstream culture embracing and even promoting destructive sexual practices, is there any place to which people in trouble might turn? From the very beginning, Christians have promoted sexual integrity and welcomed those impacted by sexual wounds. Using the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, Daniel explores the opportunities every one of us has to personally offer significant hope to a culture in desperate need of healing.

This presentation was given at the UCAP Stronger Together Conference in St. George, UT  in September 2015.
