  • Neighborhoods Reimagined: How The Beatitudes and Neighboring Go Together
    May 7 2024
    Today we're going behind the scenes for our new book, Neighborhoods Reimagined: How the Beatitudes Inspire Our Call To Be Good Neighbors. We're talking about why we wrote the book in the first place and—SPOILER ALERT—we conclude that the way we live matters. Imagine if Jesus reset our neighboring default settings... what would change in our neighborhoods? What if, as believers, we offered pardons instead of posturing? What if, rather than numbing out with more me-time, we were satisfied by good works prepared for us at home? Through the Beatitudes, Jesus gives us the vision and pathway for neighborhood flourishing. Let's jump in!!

  • How To Neighbor As a Family
    Apr 30 2024
    Can kids engage in the mission of God? Today we've brought on four experts (OUR KIDS!!) to help us see how small acts of kindness (that even a child can do!) can be used by God to bring his kingdom to our neighborhoods. Annie (9), June (10), Pearl (12), and Ginger (14) share about their experiences in serving, praying, loving neighbors from different backgrounds and worldviews, and even engaging in spiritual conversations. It's not perfect—it's messy—but God is at work in our kids' lives and it's exciting to see them catch a vision for how God can use them in the place they call home.

  • How To Practice Hospitality
    Apr 23 2024
    Since hospitality is both a posture and a practice, we’ve invited the founders of Hospitality Matters—Dave and Jennifer Collie—to help us flesh out what this important discipline looks like with our next-door neighbors. They encourage us in the “doing” of hospitality by challenging us to reflect more on our neighborly interactions and consider how God might want to replace our loneliness with connection.
