Today I have a love your neighbor tip for you in the video. Listen! Be inspired.

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week.

Since Caleb started school, we have a new daily routine. Either both of us or Jen bringing him to school. When we get there, we get to see all the other parents who also drop off their children and often end up in conversation with each other. It is an automatic build in way to connect with parents from our neighborhood on a regular basis. What routines do you have to connect with neighbors and others from your community? Maybe going to the local grocery store? Think about it and make it a point connecting with others!!

Also a reminder from the video: Practice this week active listening with a friend. Listen and ask questions. If your mind wanders off write down the things that distract you.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

This week we talk about how you can create a space where community can happen. Be inspired and encouraged!

Hello friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Visitors are so special. This week a friend from my (Markus) DTS came to visit from Sweden and another from 1 hour away. We had a small 20-year reunion together and through sharing with each other wonderful memories came back to mind. It is crazy to think that it has been over 20 years since I did my DTS. When I look back at those 20 years I see so much of Gods faithfulness in our life. With that said I want to encourage you to look back at your life and see Gods faithfulness there!!

Also dont forget to spend some time to think and pray about how you can create a place for community and then get started on it!

Have a blessed week

Markus, Jen and Caleb

In this weeks blog we are partially looking at an important man in the Old Testament, Joshua. Be encouraged!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a super week!! Ours in San Francisco was exciting. We had dinner with a friend from the neighborhood which was encouraging. Then we prepped for our time speaking at our church on Sunday which went really well. We got a lot of really good responses of people that they felt inspired to love their neighbors. On Saturday we had our neighbor brunch which literally filled our table up to the last seat and I had to put a little chair up at the corner. That is a good problem to have! Sunday night we got to watch the Superbowl together with our church family and our San Francisco team was in it, but sadly they lost. But it was still a wonderful time! with dinners a neighbor brunch we hosted that filled up every seat around our table, speaking at our church and a Superbowl party with our church friends. It was such a wonderful time.

Remember this week to ask for Gods guidance not just at the beginning but all along the way and at all major decisions.

Have a blessed week!!

Markus and Jen
