In today's episode, we discuss what it looks like to embrace the ordinariness of neighboring. Recounting Tim Downs' "Parable of the Soil" in his book Finding Common Ground, we explore the difference between only caring about seeing "results" with what it looks like to value the ordinary acts of love in our neighborhoods. This flows into a conversation about the difference between having ultimate versus ulterior motives with our neighbors.
