CELEBRATING OUR STORY
After nearly a decade of impactful service and discipleship, Love Thy Neighborhood has completed its mission. While we are no longer in operation, our legacy lives on through our alumni, the Love Thy Neighborhood podcast, RelateBetter and LTN in a Box.
VISION & MISSION
Love Thy Neighborhood was dedicated to discipling Christians to serve their neighbors, cultivate healthy relationships, and follow Jesus in their culture and context. Our vision was to foster a community of relationally and culturally competent Christians who walk together in the life and lifestyle of Jesus.
To achieve this, we ran urban missions programs for young adults and provided discipleship content through podcasts, workshops, and books for people from all walks of life. As a discipleship & missions agency, our goal was to help people walk in the life and lifestyle of Jesus.
HISTORY
In 2005, LTN Founder Jesse Eubanks launched an urban missions gap year program at a local homeless shelter, which marked the beginning of a 19 year investment in the lives of young adults to serve the poor and marginalized with Jesus’ love.
By 2014, Jesse and Kiana Brown officially established Love Thy Neighborhood to expand this program, offering more service opportunities to young adults and providing critical support to understaffed ministries across Louisville. 360 young adults participated in our urban missions programs, contributing more than $3 million in volunteer service to local nonprofits—an incredible testament to the dedication of these young adults and the transformative power of God at work through Christian community.
In 2017, we introduced the Love Thy Neighborhood podcast, a show inspired by true stories of Christians living out their faith in modern culture. If you had baptized NPR, you would have gotten our show. Our podcast reached audiences across dozens of countries and featured collaborations with notable platforms such as The Holy Post, Christianity Today, and The Gospel Coalition.
The following year, 2018, saw the launch of The EnneaCast, designed to help people build better relationships with God, others, and themselves. This unique mix of workshop, interview, and game show attracted notable guests, including Lecrae, Dr. Russell Moore, Phil Vischer, Sharon McMahon, Ryan O’Neal of Sleeping at Last, and Dr. Dan Allender.
In 2023, LTN launched RelateBetter to provide tools to help people build better relationships. Still actively led by Jesse Eubanks, RelateBetter continues the work of fostering deeper connections and healthier relationships, focusing on equipping individuals, couples, churches, and major corporations with practical tools rooted in the Enneagram and other relational frameworks. Through workshops, coaching, digital assessments, and online courses, RelateBetter helps people grow in self-awareness and relational health, empowering them to live more meaningful lives. While Love Thy Neighborhood has completed its journey, RelateBetter carries forward the wisdom and tools developed over the last decade, helping people to build better relationships with God, others, and themselves.
Though our formal operations have ceased, our remaining resources still have their original goal: to help people walk in the life and lifestyle of Jesus. We invite you to continue engaging with our story through the Love Thy Neighborhood podcast, where the heart of our mission still beats strong, and through RelateBetter, where our commitment to relational transformation continues.
