A boy in Jericho dreams of a life in which his family will never hunger again. As trust and trade bring prosperity, protecting those he loves becomes a responsibility he cannot put down. What will ever be enough? The Providence imagines the life behind the name.
Hunger in Jericho teaches a boy to dream of security for his family. Through work, trade and the trust of others, he builds the means to feed households and offer employment. But every person he protects gives him more to fear losing. The Providence imagines the life surrounding the biblical Young Rich Ruler’s encounter with Jesus, asking when the desire to provide becomes a need to control every outcome.
Hunger in Jericho teaches a boy to dream of security for his family. Through work, trade and the trust of others, he builds the means to feed households and offer employment. But every person he protects gives him more to fear losing. The Providence imagines the life surrounding the biblical Young Rich Ruler’s encounter with Jesus, asking when the desire to provide becomes a need to control every outcome. As prosperity brings greater responsibilities, his wish to protect everyone becomes a need to control every danger. Inspired by the biblical figure and his encounter with Jesus, this imagined life explores what wealth can provide and what remains out of reach.

Safe: childhood hunger, trade, marriage, fair measures, community leadership, and his desire to ask Jesus about eternal life. Please do not reveal the final travelers, bread distribution, precise ending, final sentence, or any verdict about his salvation.
