Summer Series: Stories from Detroit
Homeless But Human
We're kickstarting our summer podcast series again! Throughout the summer, we'll be sharing highlights from each of the cities where we hosted summer mission trips! First up, we have Helen and Jon from our Detroit team! On this week's episode, we discuss: • Unexpected encounters on the streets. • What trust can look like on the streets. • What CIC brought to Detroit and what Detroit gave back to CIC. • Practical ways to encounter the homeless in Detroit! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit christinthecity.substack.com

About Podcast
Welcome to Homeless But Human—a podcast that invites you into the streets for real conversations about homelessness, dignity, and what it means to love well.
We tackle the common questions and quiet hesitations that keep many from engaging with the poor—and offer practical, relational, and deeply human ways to respond. You’ll hear directly from missionaries, our homeless friends themselves, and those who’ve found that true friendship is the most radical form of charity.
What if the person you pass on the corner had one real friend—someone who knew their name, their story, and didn’t walk away? What if that friend was you?
If you’ve ever wondered what to say, what to do, or how to really help, you’re in the right place. This isn’t a podcast about quick fixes—it’s about slow, faithful love that changes everything.
