Pastor Corey Brooks’s journey across the United States has brought him to Kensington, Philadelphia, where he encounters one of the East Coast’s largest open-air drug markets. As he observes the chaotic scene—people using drugs openly, bodies marred by drug-induced wounds, and a lack of moral compass—he grapples with the question of God’s presence in such despair. Brooks, who has been walking across America to revive the American Dream and bolster faith in God, admits that the sight of the drug market initially dented his faith. Yet, he remains convinced that God’s power is not absent but is instead reflected in acts of mercy and compassion. The pastor cites Jesus’s teachings, specifically from Matthew 9, where Jesus calls for mercy over ritual, suggesting that the battle for America’s future must begin in these neglected corners. Despite city efforts, including sweeping operations and increased police patrols, Brooks argues that the deeper issue remains spiritual, requiring nourishment of the soul through faith rather than mere policy changes. He concludes that, although the man he met in Kensington may have denied God’s power, he remains hopeful that God’s presence is still active, waiting to be recognized. The journey, he believes, is not just about physical transformation but also about awakening the spiritual consciousness of a nation.
