In this episode, we sit down with Reynolds Chapman, Executive Director of DurhamCares, to explore what it means to truly love your neighbor. Reynolds shares his journey from small-town Connecticut to Durham, North Carolina, where his experiences at Duke Divinity School and with the Christian Community Development Association shaped his commitment to justice-rooted ministry.

We dive into the story of DurhamCares, its innovative Durham Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope, and how the organization helps churches and residents learn the sacred story of their place—connecting Durham’s history of racial and economic injustice to the ongoing work of reconciliation and beloved community.

Reynolds also reflects on the deep impact of community elders, the legacy of Dr. Keith Daniel, and how place-based discipleship continues to shape his faith and vocation. This conversation is a powerful reminder that local history matters to God, and that loving your neighbor requires knowing their story—and your own.
