Today we are talking to Alexandra Kirkendahl about how to love all of our neighbors, meaning

all of the people around us. She's passionate about loving people the way that

Jesus did when he was on the earth. Alexander Kirkendahl is a good friend of mine, and she's the

author of four books, including her newest Seeking Out Goodness. She's also the co-host of the

Open Door Sisterhood podcast, where she her dear friend, Krista Gilbert,

talk about how women can take the next step in their lives and be world changers right where they are.

She lives in Denver with her husband and four daughters.

We are so ready for this conversation on God hears her.

I'm excited to bring you, Erin, into the life of my friend, Alexandra, who I fondly

refer to as Alex.

So excuse me if I do that occasionally in our conversation.

So, Erin, meet Alexandra Kirklandall.

Alexandra, it is so nice to meet you.
