We would love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

Join Neddie and Brian as they interview Elliot Sands, the executive director of Live Faith First, sharing his compelling story of growing up in Livermore, California, and relocating to Nigeria during his high school years. Elliot's narrative sheds light on how these cross-cultural experiences profoundly impacted his faith and understanding of reconciliation. His insightful reflections offer a unique perspective on the importance of embracing diverse communities to live truly reconciled lives.
We also delve into the foundation of Live Faith First, an organization born from the societal tragedy of George Floyd's death, which aims to bring together diverse backgrounds to foster unity. Elliot discusses how the organization collaborates with nonprofits in San Jose to support those facing homelessness and economic instability, emphasizing the significance of addressing systemic issues rather than just offering temporary solutions.
