LOVE THY NEIGHBORHOOD PODCAST

– TRUE STORIES TO HELP YOU –

NAVIGATE MODERN CULTURE

“AMAZING AND AUTHENTIC.”

– Christianity Today

Like a movie for your ears, every episode we choose a compelling topic to wrestle with and put together interwoven stories to explore that topic. It’s not a Bible study or a sermon. It’s a series of gripping, funny, sad and intimate stories of people grappling with what it means to follow Jesus amidst the cultural issues of our time – set to a soundtrack to immerse you. Come along with us as we take a nuanced dive into what it looks like to be a person of Christian faith living in the modern world.

The LTN Podcast ran from 2017-2024 and was hosted by Jesse Eubanks and produced by Rachel Szabo Akers and Anna Tran. It is available on all available podcast platforms.
