The Garden Welcomes Guest Richard Propes
Only days before he leaves on his 150-mile wheelchair ride to eliminate medical debt in Indiana, Richard Propes joins The Garden to explore what it means to bring Micah 6:8 to life in our daily lives... Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly... and invites us to reflect on how these are the ways that we love one another.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
