Love of neighbor is an imperative in the Old Testament law and in Jesus' own teaching on the continued moral ramifications of the law. Jesus depicts the love of neighbor as a sacrificial, costly act, reminiscent of his own love for us. Jen Shepard and Becky Braman join Autumn on the podcast to discuss the realities of foster care in Colorado, the Safe Families program, and how intentional compassion compels them to act on behalf of children and families in crisis.

Episode 86 | Loving Our Neighbors, Part 6: Refugees

The Vision For Life Podcast is an ongoing conversation between the pastors of Fellowship Denver and the church at large.  Each week, we discuss a subject that you’ve requested - questions about life, faith, the Bible, and how to follow Jesus in our world beyond Sunday. While the teaching of God’s word in our Sunday morning sermons is foundational, we also want to have a forum where we can do Q&A and talk about other subjects that are on people’s mind.
