With You in the Weeds

Who is Your Neighbor? with Nathan Tiemeyer


Listen Later

Do you feel overwhelmed by the needs of those around you and struggle with guilt that you’re not doing enough to help? In a world filled with suffering, brokenness and heartache, Christians are called to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). But who defines what love is and who qualifies as your neighbor? 


We are kicking off a brand new series called Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself as we attempt to answer this culturally relevant and often confusing topic. In this episode, hosts John Tinnin and Shay Roush are joined by their friend and fellow pastor Nathan Tiemeyer, to tackle the question: Who is my neighbor and how am I called to love them? 


Through the lens of the Parable of the Good Samaritan, they explore the biblical command to love others, and address who we’re called to love, and how to do so wisely. If you’re feeling cynical, burdened by the needs of others, or are seeking practical ways to love well, this episode - and ultimately this series - will offer hope and clarity so that you can love your neighbor with increasing knowledge, insight and intentionality. 


Listen as John, Shay and Nathan discuss:

  • The radical scope and biblical definition of the term “neighbor” 

  • How our own spiritual bankruptcy puts all of us in a position of needing help and mercy

  • What God does - and does not - expect from us as finite creatures when it comes to meeting the needs of others

  • How Augustine’s Ordo Amoris (order of love) provides us with an intentional but discerning perspective on loving others as yourself

  • A Christian perspective on immigration and loving the immigrant in your community

    This discussion will free you up to accept that you can’t love everyone equally, but you can start with one person in front of you. As you consider how to “love your neighbor as yourself”, the simplest place to start is to do for one what you wish you could do for everyone, trusting God to guide your love and multiply your impact.
