We are exploring our call to be The Church in the City through our 2023 Lenten series and devotional, but what does it mean for an individual to actually do this? Two of our members shared how they have been called to live their Christian lives in the world.
How can people live out their faith in their daily life? SJD parishioner Sam Newman has been in the business of feeding people in one way or another for most of his life. After working for HEB and local non-profit Brighter Bites, Sam opened The Little Red Box grocery in Houston’s Second ward. He was interested not only in selling good healthy food where it’s a challenge to get groceries; he also wanted to engage the community in mission-forward ways that do not produce revenue. Hear from Sam how his personal values transfer to his professional life by naturally engaging in equitable ways with individuals that live fundamentally different lives.
