Get on Their Turf with Dr. Suzanne Simpson

Dave Sattler, pastor of North Shore Alliance Church, lives the concept of "support" through his work with the marginalized and homeless. Dave oversees weekly drop-in groups, Christmas dinners for hundreds, and building housing both locally and internationally. In this episode, we talk about support: how we do it, how we know it, the challenges of support, and its reciprocation.
