🎙️ Episode 3: Who Are the Marginalized? (Part II)Welcome back to Loving Our Neighbor, a podcast by Mark 12 Ministries where we reimagine serving the vulnerable through the teachings of Jesus Christ.
In part two of this heartfelt and reflective series, host Maggie Bennett continues the conversation with M12 founder Perry Cooke, focusing on what it means to minister one person at a time—and to love the whole person, not just their immediate needs.
In this episode, they explore:
- The importance of seeing individuals as whole people—mind, body, and spirit
- Real stories from Perry’s experiences in the field
- A powerful moment when the line between those serving and those being served became beautifully blurred
- What survival mode looks like and how many people are just learning how to live beyond it
- How we can walk with others out of survival and into stability, healing, and hope
This episode reminds us that true ministry starts with compassion, dignity, and the willingness to enter into someone’s story.
