In this episode of Loving Your Neighbor: A Mark 12 Ministries Podcast, Maggie and Perry dig deep into what it really means to love—not by our standards, but by God’s. We explore the different Greek words for love and how Scripture defines it far beyond feelings or preferences.

This episode challenges us to ask: Who is the “one another” we’re actually called to love?

It’s not just the person next door. Not just your family. It’s the person you wouldn’t choose to love—the one who thinks, looks, or lives differently than you. Through honest self-reflection and biblical insight, this conversation calls us to recognize our weaknesses and lean into God's strength—so His love, not ours, can flow through us.

In this powerful episode of the Mark 12 Ministries Podcast, we discuss HOW to really love the marginalized—not with pity or performance, but with purpose and presence.

We walk through:

• An introduction to who the marginalized are and why it matters
• Christ’s ministry as a model for compassion
• How to listen to and engage with those often overlooked
• Practical steps for everyday advocacy and community support
• Using technology to build bridges
• Encouraging faithful political and civic engagement
• And how prayer and collective action shape real change

Jesus said, “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.”
This episode is a call to humility, action, and hope.

🎧 Tune in now and be inspired to love with deeper intention.

In the final episode of our 3-part series, host Maggie Bennett and Mark 12 Ministries founder Perry Cooke explore the less obvious sides of marginalization.

This conversation expands beyond poverty to include immigrants, Romani communities, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and people from both inner-city neighborhoods and rural towns across Kentucky.

Together, they unpack:

• Why being marginalized isn’t always about financial need
• The impact of cultural and generational misunderstandings
• Stories that challenge assumptions and stereotypes
• How the Church can respond with empathy, humility, and presence

This episode reminds us that true compassion begins with listening, learning, and loving without conditions.
