In this conversation, I speak with Sharon Eubank about what it really means to help other people without stripping them of dignity or agency.
Drawing on decades of humanitarian work, Sharon reflects on accountability, choice, faith, and why good intentions alone are not enough. We talk about suffering not as an abstract problem, but as something that asks something of us in our communities, our institutions, and our daily lives.
This is a thoughtful discussion about responsibility, humility, and the quiet power of doing small things with great love.
