#167 Charles DiRico: Word on the Street
Manage episode 475923099 series 2934034
In this inspiring episode of Better Together, we sit down with Charles DiRico, the visionary behind Word on the Street—a growing network of dinner churches reaching nearly 400 people weekly. Charles shares the powerful story of how this movement began with simple meals and has grown into a vibrant ministry rooted in worship, community, and mutual transformation.
Charles discusses the evolution of dinner churches, the importance of listening and loving as we follow Jesus into the streets, and the deep connections formed across economic and social lines. He also shares about Word on the Street’s next chapter: launching a social enterprise to employ neighbors experiencing homelessness and create bridges with new residents in their gentrifying neighborhood—all through a shared cup of coffee.
Tune in to hear how this ministry is offering more than meals—it’s creating space for dignity, relationship, and the gospel in action.
