The biblical call to love our neighbor is not some lofty idea to be carried out by "particularly special" people or just at a government level. When Jesus gave the call to love our neighbor, it was a call for ordinary people to act when they encounter those in need. Mercy and justice are not outside of anyone's capability, but are obtainable for everyone in any circumstance.

This week, we have Jami's very own pastor, Matt Horine, helping us explore these ideas of radical compassion and generosity in a way that everyone can apply. Matt has served as the lead pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Normal, Illinois for over seven years. He is a seasoned pastor and a powerful communicator. Matt is married to his wife, Amy, and has two children.

In this episode, you'll hear Matt's journey of helping his church become more involved in the community, how he has learned to lead people towards the gospel with humility, and how we each can identify the areas God may be calling us to, and more.
