What does it mean to love your neighbor? In this crossover series with The Coffee Hour podcast, we’re exploring “loving your neighbor” from a variety of perspectives! In Episode 1, Rev. Dr. James Fickenscher (Assistant Professor of Exegetical Theology and Director of Certification, Concordia Seminary St. Louis) joins Steph and guest co-host Sarah Gulseth (co-host, The Coffee Hour podcast) to talk about “love” in Scripture. Dr. Fickenscher explores where “loving your neighbor” is recorded in Scripture, various Old and New Testament examples of love, gives an exegetical study of the words “love” and “neighbor,” and shares what these words mean for us today as we live out our God-given vocations in our contexts.

We believe that God is the author and sustainer of all life. We also know it can be hard to speak about the intrinsic value of life, health and the family when it feels like the world is trying to drown us out.
We’re right here beside you. In this podcast of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s Life, Health and Family Ministries, we’re coming alongside one another as a community of Christ’s redeemed people. Together we’ll explore life, health and family issues in a way that honors our heavenly Father’s value of human life, serves our neighbor, shares the faith and connects us to others who are doing the same. Join us, so that together we can be friends for life.
