This episode is all about being ready to connect, love, and support others before the moment arises. Rebekah shares her favorite practical ways to be intentional in relationships—like keeping a “gift shelf,” buying cards and gift bags in bulk, and always having something delicious in the freezer for a friend in need.

From voice memos to blow-up costumes (seriously), these small but powerful habits help us live out love in a joyful and proactive way. Plus, hear a Bible story about friendship and connection that will encourage your heart today.

Whether it’s your neighbor, your child, or your coworker—being ready to connect can be a system, not just a feeling.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • Gift shelf organization tip
  • Favorite freezer meals: ham + broccoli casserole, beef stew, ravioli
  • Card & gift bag bulk buy ideas
  • Voice memos via text as encouragement
  • The joy of blow-up costumes for unexpected moments
  • Encouragement to stock up on relational tools now
