Story: The Neighbor You Didn’t Expect
Grant’s talk challenged listeners to rethink the story of the Good Samaritan by focusing on what keeps us from “crossing the road” toward people in need. He described the walls we build—fear of cost, busyness, past wounds, and self-protection—that keep us distant from others’ pain. He emphasized that loving our neighbor is rarely clean or convenient, and often comes with no reward or visible outcome. Still, faith calls us to act anyway: not when we feel ready or perfect, but simply to go, because the suffering is real, the person is real, and the image of God within them is real.
