Light In Your Corner
Join Lauren and Monica as they discuss how to live in and bless our surrounding culture while carrying the LIGHT that cannot be overcome.
We are two women joining Jesus in our neighborhood while navigating family, friendships, work, creativity, and chronic health issues. We don't always do things right the first time, and we have a borderline-unhealthy relationship with British mystery novels, but with God we can find the humor and the heart behind most things. Light in Your Corner is our first podcast.

(27) Life's a Ditch
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s no secret that our culture is obsessed with death. Whether it is the quest to avoid aging and death altogether, or putting to death anything that hinders us getting what we want, the only answer our world can give to death is more death.
Then in steps Jesus, Life Himself. He sees the suffering, the victims, the dying, and He carries them and cares for them.
When distraction and status and self-importance keep people from helping people, Jesus does the opposite. He does not cross the street and pass by on the other side. He sees, has compassion, and enters the ditch.
Today we are talking about The Good Samaritan and lots of other things too. And while we ask lots of questions and give lots of answers, we acknowledge that at the heart of being a good Samaritan is knowing The Good Samaritan–the One who loved lavishly and gave freely to those who had nothing to give in return.
