When we consider difficult political topics, it can be easy to focus solely on change at a large scale. But while positive action on a macro level is vital, every ripple of transformation begins with something small.

After all, today's parents are shaping the future leaders of tomorrow, and today's pastors are equipping their congregations to go forward and live out biblical principles in the world. We may think we're small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but every Christian has the opportunity to plant the seeds of change through their everyday words and actions. All this responsibility can feel overwhelming, but as our guest Trillia Newbell reminds us, we don't have to come up with solutions on our own—God has already provided the answers we need in Scripture.

Trillia is an author and speaker who spent seven years serving as the Director of Community Outreach for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission within the Southern Baptist Convention. Today, she works as the Acquisitions Director at Moody Publishers.

In this episode, we're learning from Trillia about how we can see all our neighbors as being made in the image of God, when and how we should talk with our children about loving our neighbors who may be different from us, some of the ways small actions can have a long-lasting impact, and much more.
