the faithful foundations with Scott Page (ep 2b, 47).

In Northwest Arkansas, where housing affordability was once the region's greatest draw, working families are increasingly being pushed to the edges. Women with children in their cars are showing up at church doorsteps asking a question congregations struggle to answer: "What do I do? Where do I go?" When Christ and Neighbor Church in Rogers was approached about the Urban Land Institute's Faithful Foundations program, Pastor Scott Page saw an alignment between what his church had been given and what neighbors desperately needed. Land. And a willingness to use it to make a difference.This episode continues the Faithful Foundations conversation by going directly to one of the six churches in the first cohort. Scott Page, a lifelong Ozarker, shares why his church said yes to a program that asks congregations to consider affordable housing development as ministry. He describes the people Christ and Neighbor serves on the gritty east side of Rogers, people who are overlooked and undervalued, who work jobs in plants and live paycheck to paycheck in fear.  And he reflects on holding this dream with open hands, trusting that even if this specific project doesn't happen, the passion for affordable housing and the commitment to neighbors won't stop.https://www.theunderview.com/episodes/the-faithful-foundations-scott-page-christ-and-neighborAbout the underview:The underview is an exploration of the development of our Communal Theology of Place viewed through the medium of bikes, land, and people to discover community wholeness.Send us a Voice Message at https://www.theunderview.com/Website: ⁠⁠theunderview.com⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠@underviewtheHost: @mikerusch
