(The Hill) Late last month, President Trump addressed the latest Census report, Poverty in the United States: 2025, saying, “We have the best poverty numbers ever in the history of the country,” and “there is less poverty now than in any time in the history of the country.”
This is only true if we take the most limited data from the report and ignore the harsh reality facing the nation.

Characterized by Biblical stories and historical and contemporary examples where every need is provided for, such as the garden of Eden, manna in the wilderness, the practice of Jubilee, and early Christian communities, this theme describes the anti-poverty programs that run throughout the Bible. The season of “Jubilee” begins with and parallels the season of Pentecost, when God’s Spirit was poured out on a multiracial movement of Jesus followers, as well as the season just after, often known as Ordinary time. These Biblical narratives provide not only the moral justification that everybody has a right to live, but also demonstrate concretely how that reality can be achieved, and underscore the idea that such practices should be ordinary in our lives and world.
Join us tonight as Rev. Dr. Letiah Fraser of Freedom Church of the Poor is joined by Allison Hampton and Sarah Jones along with Min. Ciara & Brother Alex for this powerful service.
