Practicing the Ways of Jesus: Compassion, Consistency and Christlike Love For Denver's Houseless Youth

Episode Summary

In this heartfelt and profoundly human episode of The Bible Chat Podcast, host Alina sits down with Robbie Goldman, Director of Spiritual and Emotional Formation at Dry Bones Denver, a street ministry serving houseless youth and young adults with compassion, consistency, and Christ-like love.

Robbie shares the powerful origin story of Dry Bones, rooted in the vision of Ezekiel 37, “Son of man, can these bones live?”, and how the ministry has grown from three families with no funding to a deeply trauma-informed, spiritually grounded community that builds trust, dignity, and long-term relationships.

Together, Alina and Robbie explore how Jesus was interruptible, how healing begins with presence not performance, and why unsurpassable worth, unconditional love, and belonging aren’t luxuries but the foundation of dignity, the breath of the soul, and what makes healing possible.

At Open Soul Foundation, the philanthropic wing of Bible Chat, we are so very grateful to collaborate with Dry Bones Denver and sponsor monthly activities to support their ministry in serving the houseless youth and young adults in Denver, Colorado, USA
