Saying Yes to Mercy Opportunities is Risky but Good {Amy DiMarcangelo}

Refugees. Trafficking victims. Addicts. Adoption. Homeless. When faced with opportunities to show extravagant mercy, we think,

But what if I go into debt? This could be a trap. If I bring her into my home, will we be safe? What if there's corruption? 

Yet what sounds like the voice of wisdom, is actually the voice of fear.

I'm joined by Amy DiMarcangelo for a conversation about a man who wanted Jesus to give him a thin list of neighbors to love. But instead, Jesus invites the man—and us—into the story of "The Good Samaritan," where mercy is both risky and good.
