What does it mean to love your neighbor? In this crossover series with the Friends for Life 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 Sarah and guest co-host Steph Neugebauer (host, Friends for Life 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.
