Show notes

Why are there so many homeless people in the parks and by the freeway? Are the shelters all full? Among the questions that the Grants Pass Gospel Rescue Mission staff is asked most frequently, the question of vacancy is always near the top of the list. “Does the Mission have room?” and “Why?” are the questions Director of Resident Services Brian Bouteller aims to answer in this short podcast.

Common Sense: What's the Harm in Supporting a Person's Right to Remain Homeless? Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

Insisting that others clean up after you and pay for the trauma that you create is surely NOT an act of love but is both immoral and wicked. More often than not, the destruction caused by homelessness has an enormous negative impact on good, law abiding citizens and the environment. Not only is it unloving, but accommodating such behavior is teaching irresponsibility. In this video Brian suggests that supporting a person’s right to remain homeless is unloving to society, to our environment, and to the homeless themselves.

Common Sense: Wrong Priorities Lead to a Life on the Street Jun 08, 2021

Common Sense: Do You Feel Guilty About The Homeless? False Guilt and How to Help in Meaningful Ways Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

When you see a homeless person holding a cardboard sign at an intersection, it doesn't take long for you to experience a deep feeling of guilt. Is that guilt justified? Too often we seek to eliminate that negative feeling by meeting the short-term need of the sign holder. But how much does that five dollar bill actually help? In this podcast, Director of Resident Services Brian Bouteller explains the concept of false guilt and also asks the question, "Where would Jesus donate?"
