Loving Your Neighbor is a podcast by Mark 12 Ministries exploring how we can serve the vulnerable through the teachings of Jesus.

With real stories and expert insights, we challenge traditional views and reimagine what it means to love our neighbor, amplify marginalized voices, and build relationships that empower—not enable.

Who Are the Marginalized? Part III
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.
