Jesus was asked the question overtly, but we often wrestle with the same question covertly. It is easy to rationalize our behavior towards some and our passiveness to others. Yet, Jesus has called each and every one of us to actively love our neighbor—and our neighbor may not be who we expected it to be. In this episode, Dr. J and Cameron tackle how we can be a little kinder to one another. In a climate of seething anger and division, is kindness possible? How? Come join the conversation as we unpack a familiar story and, prayerfully, discover some new truths while we’re at it.
