We’re excited to share that Bryan Crain, President of Orange County Rescue Mission, recently joined his wife, Natasha Crain, on The Natasha Crain Podcast for a powerful conversation about the homelessness crisis in America.

In this episode, titled “Homelessness in America: Good, Bad, and Ugly Solutions,” Bryan and Natasha take an honest look at the complex realities of homelessness and the many competing ideas about how to solve it. Together, they discuss how differing worldviews shape policies and responses, what a biblical perspective on compassion and accountability looks like, and the importance of both helping people rebuild their lives and creating safer communities for everyone.

Drawing from his experience leading the Rescue Mission, Bryan offers insight into what’s working — and what’s not — in the fight against homelessness, as well as how faith-based organizations are uniquely equipped to address both physical and spiritual needs.

If you’ve ever wondered what can and should be done to help those experiencing homelessness while promoting lasting change, this episode is well worth a listen.
