Radical Kindness for Your Community: Stephen Viars

What if your church—and your life—were known for their radical kindness? Pastor and author Stephen Viars chats about his church’s radical, community-altering approach to outreach.
You know, one of the things I love about community ministry is that it’s often not, “I have to build something new.” It’s more about using what I already have to meet a need. I’ve been in Lafayette at Faith Church for 36 years, and the gentleman that hired me was named Bill Goode, my predecessor. When I went to Faith, they had just built a new building, and it was very, very nice—brand new.  — Stephen Viars
