Our guest is Bettina Hermann, Executive Director of Love INC of Cuyahoga County https://www.loveinccuyahoga.org/
What does poverty actually look like in our communities—and how often do we misunderstand it? Bettina joins us to unpack the realities of poverty, the gaps that churches sometimes face when trying to meet complex needs, and how Love INC comes alongside local congregations to help bridge those gaps.
We talk about the biblical call to love our neighbors well, the importance of relational—not transactional—help, and how Love INC equips churches to serve individuals and families with dignity, compassion, and long-term support.
