We want to love our neighbors, but we’re busy and sometimes don’t know where to start. In each episode, we’ll keep neighboring on your mind by encouraging you with simple ways to connect with those next door. Because your address is not an accident, and neither is your neighbor’s.
In this bonus episode, we sit down with Dave Ferguson, author of Bless: 5 Everyday Ways to Love Your Neighbor and Change the World, to explore a practical and relational framework for neighboring based on the life of Jesus. Dave shares how each part of the BLESS acronym, Begin with Prayer, Listen, Eat, Serve, and Share Your Story, offers simple yet impactful steps to build genuine friendships with neighbors and live on mission without turning people into projects. Through stories, research, and a focus on hospitality, the episode dives into why neighboring through blessing, not converting, is not only more effective but more faithful to Jesus’ example. Whether it’s praying for neighbors, sharing meals, or simply being a friend, this conversation encourages listeners to take intentional steps toward loving those around them with authenticity and grace.
