  • Neighborhoods Reimagined: Persecution
    Jul 2 2024
    In the final episode of our “Neighborhoods Reimagined” series on the Beatitudes, we explore the eighth beatitude: "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Joined by Patrick Miller, pastor at The Crossing and co-author of Truth Over Tribe, we delve into what it means to count the cost of following Jesus by facing persecution. Patrick shares personal stories of subtle and severe forms of rejection, the emotional impact of being an outsider, and emphasizes the importance of responding with grace and joy. Together, we discuss how to prepare for and engage in challenging conversations with humility and love… because we need to know what it looks like to live out our faith in a world that may not always welcome it.

  • Neighborhoods Reimagined: Pure in Heart
    Jun 18 2024
    What does it mean when Jesus invites us to be pure in heart? He states, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Today, we are joined by our sister-in-law, licensed therapist Kelli McKinney (MA, LPC, NCC, PMH-C), who specializes in developmental trauma and perinatal mental health. In this episode, we explore Jesus's call to holiness through wholeness, emphasizing the importance of becoming fully integrated individuals whose insides match their outsides. Kelli shares her insights on the impact of hiding parts of ourselves versus living authentically with our neighbors. Through her professional and personal experiences, Kelli illustrates how vulnerability, honesty, and small acts of connection can foster genuine relationships and community.
