JOHN KYLE, THE FELLOWS INITIATIVE

This film is a wonderful reminder of our call to love, serve, and cultivate flourishing through politics and government, in spite of… or rather, because of... the layers of brokenness we find there.

MATTHEW BECKLO, ALETEIA

[A] breath of fresh air for Christians and non-Christians alike. Those looking for a clear cut ideological stance will be disappointed; instead, "For Love of Neighbor" quietly but resolutely seeks to buck the trend of division, recovering a broad and hopeful sense of spiritual reflection, social civility, and public service...

ABILENE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENT

This film is a peace-making mechanism for a polarized campus.

DREW TROTTER, CONSORTIUM OF CHRISTIAN STUDY CENTERS

This is a superb tool, encouraging us both in whether, how, and when to be politically engaged and in avoiding the pitfalls so many experience in our present cultural climate. A thoroughly arresting, yet thoughtful, film.

DENVER SEMINARY STUDENT

The film isn't about selling a specific party or twisting anything for an agenda. Instead, it calls Christians to care about the people around us in a way that tangibly impacts our neighbor.

VANGUARD UNIVERSITY STUDENT

I was inspired by the relatable experiences of Sarah Imboden, which show that the actions we take in local politics are just as important as those made in other levels of politics.
