A New Vision for Loving Your Neighbors with Shannan Martin
Cultivating neighborliness may not seem to have much long-term impact, but its capacity to bridge diverse communities and ignite lasting connections demonstrates that it can actually have profound and far-reaching effects on our society.
In this episode, host Kaitlyn Schiess engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Shannan Martin about her remarkable journey of cultivating neighborliness in her community through the twin pillars of civic engagement and nurturing relationships.
Throughout the conversation, Martin not only redefines what true hospitality can look like in the midst of busy family life, no matter one’s temperament and personality, but she also makes the case that a key way to love one’s neighbors is to get involved in local politics.
Her journey is a testament to the idea that meaningful change begins at the grassroots level, reminding us that each one of us has the potential to make a life-changing, kingdom-building impact right where we live.
We invite you to tune in to this enlightening conversation and discover how you can play a part in loving your neighbors in unexpected ways that you may never have before considered.
