From growing up amid conflict and displacement in Sri Lanka to leading Tearfund's global work addressing gender-based violence, Prabu Deepan has a powerful story to tell.
Prabu joins Bec for a deeply personal, challenging, and hopeful conversation about poverty, gender, violence, masculinity, and the transformative power of the Gospel.
Because poverty is about so much more than money, and the Good News is about so much more than getting people into church.
What does it mean to see every person as created in the image of God? What might happen if we challenged the systems and assumptions that rob people of their dignity? And what would it look like to follow Jesus in bringing people in from the margins?
Sometimes, we need to stop picking up the pieces of our broken dreams.
Sometimes, we need to dream something new.

More from Stay Salty with Bec Oates
Graeme Anderson returns for another crunchy, uncomfortable, salty conversation with Bec, this time to discuss topics as wide ranging as the Gospel, leadership, taking sin seriously, and poverty. After all, should the Gospel not drive Christian leaders to take the sin of poverty seriously?
Pastor, author, missionary kid, opera singer, and marathon completer (completer thank you very much), Graeme Anderson plays the story teller with Bec. The stories we embody and teach are fundamental to how we view God.
Welcome to Stay Salty with Bec Oates — a podcast for the conversations that don’t always make it into church. We’re talking faith, justice, culture, power, leadership, and the messy questions that don’t come with neat answers. So if you’ve ever thought, “My church doesn’t talk about this stuff,” you’re in the right place. Stay curious. Stay courageous. Stay salty.
