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 8, Deaconess Jana Peters (The Shepherd’s Hand Community Outreach Center, Ft. Wayne, IN) and Bethany Gebers and Margaret Bitz (Trinity Lutheran Church and the Forward organization, Lincoln, NE) join Sarah and guest co-host Steph Neugebauer (host, Friends for Life podcast) to talk about how these organizations were founded, the needs for family and pregnancy support in both of their communities, how each of them are able to meet needs in their areas, and how they are able to share Christ’s love with those who need to hear it.

Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
