Listen "Treating Folk Right"
Episode Synopsis
In this compelling message, Rev. Dr. Jerry Cannon invites us into a powerful call to live out genuine Christian love in our everyday encounters. Drawing from Scripture, Hebrews 113:1-5, he explores what it truly means to treat folk right—not merely with politeness, but with dignity, compassion, and radical grace. He challenges us to consider how we respond to those on the margins, how we handle conflict, and how we reflect the character of Jesus in our relationships. Whether with longtime friends or people we barely know, the way we treat "the other" becomes a gospel witness. Using the simple but profound framework of A-C-T, he invites us to consider what faithful living looks like in real time: Acceptance — seeing every person as created in God's image, without condition or exclusion Compassion — responding to human need not with judgment, but with presence, empathy, and shared humanity Testimony — allowing our lives to speak, becoming living witnesses to the love of Christ in the world With warmth, humor, and pastoral wisdom, Rev. Cannon challenges us to move beyond good intentions and practice a faith that shows up—at home, in the church, and in the community. This message calls us not only to believe differently, but to live differently. Listen and be encouraged to ACT with courage, kindness, and Christ-shaped love. And yes—he manages to connect The Beverly Hillbillies to the gospel, reminding us that hospitality doesn't have to be fancy to be holy.
