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 Steph and co-host Sarah Gulseth (The Coffee Hour 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.

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.
