We’ve talked about what it means to love our neighbors. Now, what does this actually look like in practice? In this crossover series with the Friends for Life podcast, we’re exploring “loving your neighbor” from a variety of perspectives! In Episode 6, the Rev. Trae Fistler (Mid South District Disaster Response Coordinator) joins Andy, Sarah, and guest co-host Steph Neugebauer (host, Friends for Life podcast) to talk about what LCMS Disaster Response does, how showing God’s mercy and love play a major role in disaster response, how volunteers are trained to respond to disasters, how this is both physical care and spiritual care, and how responders have shown love to their neighbors in the Mid South District.
