Back in December, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Chris and Elizabeth McKinney, Cru City staff, for their Placed for a Purpose Podcast, and the episode released today. We had a fun conversation and I'm so encouraged to work alongside people like them. Chris and Elizabeth, in winsome and encouraging ways, provide excellent and everyday resources for engaging with neighbors, like their book Placed for a Purpose.

Then, keep your eyes out for their latest book being released in May, Neighborhoods Reimagined!. In this publication they look to Jesus and the Beatitudes for guidance and encouragement for engaging with our neighbors.

Their approach to being good neighbors is saturated with the gospel, encourages steps of faith, and provides practical steps for meaningful neighboring and is a great resource for small groups. If you are looking for some good ideas for 2024, the McKinney’s podcast episodes and resources are a great place to start.
