Скачать или смотреть He Never Met a Stranger: A Life of Welcome and Connection

What does faith look like applied in real life?

In this episode of Light Bearers, I share the story of my grandfather — a man who never met a stranger, not because he was extraordinary, but because he believed people were worthy of welcome simply by standing in front of him.

He didn’t preach.
He didn’t lead movements.
He didn’t try to be remarkable.

He pulled up chairs.
He made room.
He chose presence over fear.

This story is part of an ongoing series about people who have lived as light in the world — not loudly, not perfectly, but faithfully and consistently — and how their lives continue to shape the way we love God and love others.

✨ Reflection:
Who was one of your first light bearers?
Not someone famous — but someone who quietly showed you what love looks like.

If someone comes to mind, I’d love for you to share about them in the comments. These stories matter.
