Episode Synopsis

What does faith look like up close?In this episode, we continue Corner Church’s Ethos series by exploring the idea of local — the people and places close enough to actually experience our lives. Drawing from James 2 and the life of Jesus, this conversation wrestles with the tension between belief and action, presence and distance, helping and truly knowing.We talk about why local love is harder than distant love, how modern life has created “micro-locals” everywhere, and why God chose proximity over distance in the incarnation. This isn’t a conversation about doing more — it’s about noticing who’s already in front of us.Faith becomes real when it becomes local.
