Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

×The disciple interacts with governing authorities by submitting to Jesus as King, seeking the Unity of the Spirit, and living as a kingdom citizen.
The human nature is given to extremes, either making laws against something or over-indulging. This is certainly true for digital technologies. We live differently In light of the gospel, though. Jesus puts technology in its rightful place for the disciple, seeing it as useful but also fleeting and engrossing.…
We were created to work and care for God's creation. Jesus fulfilled the original covenant of works and we are enabled to do good works as we appropriate his grace into our lives. Our work should be a reflection of what God has graciously done in our lives, not to earn his love.
There is a new existence coming, brilliant in glory because God is there. Let us lift our souls in hope to the promises of God - not to escape this present world, but to work for God's honor with greater hope and courage.
Some things in life simply require all-in commitment. Discipleship is one of them. Jesus calls his followers to a whole-life commitment. And we find, as we place him first, that Jesus is the greatest treasure of all.
Do you know the Father's great love for you? He desires, and is able, to meet you in place of need.
The banquet is a Biblical image for present and future grace. Through this banquet analogy, Jesus teaches us about God, His Kingdom, and His redeemed people. And in doing so, He calls people to receive and give grace.
All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Mission makes us passionate - this is true for all types of people in all types of missions. But what type of passion does God-given mission produce? What is it like? Does your passion reflect God's heart?
Are you feeling motionless? The safest place to be is where forward motion depends solely on the breath of God. What does it mean to wait well?
To the person longing to enter the Kingdom, Jesus responds, the Kingdom has plenty of room, but: Do you know the way? Do you know the time? Are you willing? ``
Through these two short parables, Jesus reveals an aspect of His Kingdom, challenging us to see the Kingdom that IS and WILL BE, even amid the continued sinfulness of the world.
The fall has bent each one of us over, disfigured from God's intention, from bodily and spiritual oppression. Satan tries to use our affliction in His favor, but the Lord Jesus calls us to freedom. Sabbath is for freedom.
What comes to your mind with the word repentance? How do you define repentance? Is your definition Biblical? Your practice? Jesus says, unabashedly, "it's time to repent".
