You may put a lot of time and thought into how you present things inside the home–like the inspirational quotes on the walls and the fluffy toilet paper in the guest bathroom. But what about loving your neighbor around and surrounding the home? Should we put up that political sign? Should we slap devils on all our windows at Halloween? Can we really love our neighbor and cultivate the common good with our porches and patios?

In this episode, Chris and Kyle discuss the "outdoor" aspect to homemaking. They recommend simple steps for making room for other creatures and neighbors– such as uprooting invasive plants, hanging a bird feeder, and throwing up a hammock for the neighborhood kids to chill with a book. We model a sensitivity to stewarding society and we send a message to the promenaders who walk three times a day around the neighborhood coveting gardens.

Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits.

Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor. Project : Neighbor is a theological think tank and spiritual training ground for the Church and the common good. We think theologically about everything from soil to sky, and disciple believers from crib to casket. We draw widely from the catholic Christian tradition, are ecumenically-oriented, and practically-minded.

Project : Neighbor is co-directed by Kyle David Bennett and Christopher Cimorelli.
