164: Your Summer Challenge: Have a Picnic

Spring brings new life – and new opportunities to connect with the people around us. In this short solo episode, Jim Brangenberg challenges listeners to take a simple step toward loving their neighbors: host a picnic. Instead of complicated programs or formal outreach, Jim encourages something far more relational: inviting people into your space, sharing a meal, and simply spending time together. 

Jim reminds us that real transformation often begins with ordinary moments. A backyard picnic, a potluck dish, and an open invitation can create space for friendships to grow and conversations about faith to happen naturally. As the weather warms up, this episode offers a practical way to live out Jesus’ command to love your neighbor – one picnic at a time! 

P.S. – Don't forget that if you take a picture of your picnic and send it to Jim (jim@iWork4Him.com), he’ll send you a copy of the iRetire4Him book
