Speak truth, do good, or die trying.
Ennie Hickman @DelrayCollective was thriving in ministry until his children challenged him to love his actual neighbors. Now, he opens his home weekly for “family dinner” with anyone who shows up—building community without agenda or pitch. His Delray Collective proves the mission field might be right next door.
Top insights from Ennie Hickman:
• Your neighbor means the people actually next door, no matter their views.
• Ministry success can harm family life—being a performer isn’t ministry.
• Big families naturally evangelize; people notice how you love and discipline.
• Depth over numbers—help a few deeply rather than many superficially.
• God desires your participation but handles the miracle.
