  • Loving Your Neighbor Who's Hurting

    Loving Your Neighbor Who's Hurting
    Jun 10 2025
    In today’s episode, we have an honest and practical conversation about how to love our neighbors who are walking through seasons of pain, suffering, or difficulty. Whether it's strained marriages, financial struggles, anxiety, grief, or even something as simple as exhaustion, we explore how God invites us to enter into the hard places with compassion and presence. Drawing from personal experiences, Scripture, and the teachings of Jesus, we talk about what to do (and what not to do), how to avoid clichés, and how to serve in ways that truly meet people where they are. We’re reminded that while we can’t fix everything, we can embody God’s love and comfort in powerful ways.

  • Loving Your Elderly Neighbor

    Loving Your Elderly Neighbor
    Jun 3 2025
    In this episode, we’re joined by Wayne Rice — veteran youth pastor, author, and co-founder of Youth Specialties — as he shares wisdom on how we can love and serve the elderly neighbors around us. Wayne currently serves with the Legacy Coalition, a ministry dedicated to equipping grandparents for spiritual influence in their families, and brings decades of ministry experience to this meaningful conversation. We talk about what Scripture says about honoring the elderly, how culture often sidelines seniors, and how simple acts of kindness, listening, and intergenerational community can bring joy and connection to our older neighbors. Wayne also offers practical ways families can include children in serving and building relationships with seniors. Whether you have elderly neighbors nearby or want to think more biblically about this stage of life, Wayne’s wisdom will challenge and encourage you. Legacy Coalition: https://legacycoalition.com/

  • Loving Your Mormon Neighbor

    Loving Your Mormon Neighbor
    May 27 2025
    Today we’re joined by Mark and Molly Parsons from Truth in Love Ministry to talk about how we can better love and understand our Mormon neighbors. With years of experience in outreach and personal relationships in LDS communities, Mark and Molly offer insight into the beliefs and culture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how Christians can engage with kindness, clarity, and the hope of the gospel. We explore what makes Mormonism unique, how to talk about Jesus and grace in ways that resonate, and why asking curious, respectful questions matters more than winning debates. Whether you have LDS neighbors or you're just looking to build bridges across worldviews, this conversation is full of wisdom and real-life stories to guide you in loving well. www.tilm.org CONNECT ON SOCIALS: Instagram TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: Follow this link to share your neighboring stories with us or tell us your thoughts on today's episode.
