Bonus Episode - Why should Christians care about place? How can we become integral characters in the story of our neighborhood? How do we accept small acts of neighborliness as important work?

In this episode we interview Steve MacDouell about these questions and hear his story. When he's not pastoring with FreeChurch Toronto or teaching at Fanshawe College, Steve can be found working on place-based projects and inviting everyday citizens to leverage their time, their ideas, and their creativity for the sake of their neighbourhoods. He's the co-founder of Good City Co., a civic organization that creates projects, platforms, and activations to help citizens take a greater ownership over the places that they call home. He writes about the intersection of community, place, and praxis for Strong Towns. Steve lives, dreams, and conspires in Little Portugal—a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario.
