In this episode of Engaging Truth, host Pastor Trey Sansom talks with Pastor Seth Davidson of St. John Lutheran Church in Athens, Texas, about Jesus’ heart for outsiders and the power of serving people without expecting anything in return. Seth shares how simple acts of kindness, authentic relationships, and meeting tangible needs have opened doors for the Gospel in his church and community.

Through stories of church hurt, homelessness, disability, addiction, and unexpected connection, Trey and Seth explore what happens when Christians stop treating people like projects and begin seeing them as people Jesus loves. This conversation offers practical encouragement to slow down, notice the people around you, listen to their stories, and carry the hope of Christ into everyday life.
