    Leading with Joy and Loving Your Neighbor

    In this episode of Good News in the Neighborhood, we share two short stories that remind us how powerful simple, faithful actions can be. First, Luke Randall reflects on how volunteering in Ecclesia’s kids ministry and being shaped by Jen’s joyful, steady leadership changed the way he understands what it means to lead and serve. Then, Alex Garza takes us along on a work trip to Philadelphia, where a few Mr. Rogers coasters and one simple question, “Won’t you be my neighbor?” opened the door to unexpected moments of connection, kindness, and joy with total strangers. Together, these stories show how leadership, neighborliness, and small acts of courage can quietly change the world around us.

    Looking for the Helpers

    In this episode of Good News in the Neighborhood, Pastor Chris shares the full story behind his unexpected friendship with Ibrahim, a young Sudanese immigrant who was detained in an ICE raid and released in Houston with no money, no phone, and nowhere to go. What begins with a single phone call turns into a night of Uber rides, shared meals, chocolate chip cookies, and the kind of hospitality that feels small but changes everything.

    Everyone Wants a Village

    This story is about two neighbors who chose to live differently. What started as an Instagram message turned into shared meals, shared newborn seasons, shared mess, and shared life. In a world where so many people feel isolated, this is a reminder that community doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when people are willing to say yes, be vulnerable, and show up for one another.

    When Community Shows Up

    In this episode of Good News in the Neighborhood, we share two stories that remind us how home is often found through community. You’ll hear about Kenneth, whose patient prayers for housing were answered through faithful presence, shared joy, and simple acts of generosity. You’ll also hear from Kiva, who reflects on finding belonging through small group community and walking alongside others through life’s transitions. Together, these stories point to the quiet ways God is at work. In prayer corners, shared meals, living rooms, and relationships that form when people choose to show up for one another. If you have a story of good news unfolding in your neighborhood, we’d love to hear it. Submit your story here: LINK
