Shannan Martin shares stories from Goshen, Indiana, and her faith community.  April 27th, 2025

The Grown-Up Catholicism series wraps up with an episode on continuing education. As in each episode in the series, this one is descriptive not prescriptive in that I'll model my own discernment on these issues with scripture, contemplation and prayer but I'll never direct your grown-up Catholic choice as that's between you and the Lord! I hope this episode is a blessing to you, thanks for giving it a listen.

In this episode, host Kelly Wolfe is joined by author, speaker, and writer Shannan Martin to discuss themes from her book Start With Hello: (And Other Simple Ways to Live as Neighbors).

Get ready for some Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood vibes! You may know that you're supposed to "love your neighbor", but so many of us don't even know our neighbor's name. And most of us have friends, but somewhere along the line, we forget how to make friends. We are only forced to remember again when we find ourselves in a season where we "start over". Shannan Martin is a wife, mom, author, and a neighbor. She knows all about having to move and start over, not knowing anyone at first. The Lord took her on a journey, though, of learning how simple it can be to love your neighbor and she teaches us how to become connected in a very disconnected world. We talk about: - how to embrace and ease the awkwardness of meeting new people around us - how to prevent isolation in the post-grad era - how the vulnerability of putting yourself out there can bless and benefit others way more than it could embarrass you If you find yourself in an unfamiliar setting, this episode will save your life!

I’ll take any excuse I can get to talk with Shannan Martin! This time we chatted about her most recent book release, Start With Hello, about being neighbors. (Last time we chatted about her first book, Falling Free, which celebrated its book birthday the day we recorded this interview!) On the surface, it seems simple … Continue reading Episode 217 – Shannan Martin

In the penultimate installment of our Creative Archetypes Series, we chat with Enneagram 8s. Authors Shannan Martin and Meredith Boggs, as well as hornist and educator Johanna Burian, share what life is like as a Challenger. We explore how creativity can feel like a full body experience to 8s, how vulnerability and levity are key to health, and something we can all do to help the 8s in our lives feel known and loved.  Invitation:  Take this prompt to your journal or answer the questions with a friend or therapist:  What creative challenge(s) am I facing right now? What beliefs underneath the challenge(s) need to be challenged?  Shannan Martin, author and speaker Meredith Boggs, author and nurse Johanna Burian, hornist and educator David Gate Enneagram Poems Playlist of the Creative Archetypes Series Register for the next Artist's Way Creative Cluster Buy Merideth a coffee Email the show: hello@artistsforjoy.org 

When was the last time you reached out to one of your neighbors? Not just the people you feel comfortable with, but the ones who live near that you might not know beyond a “How are you?” in passing. As we continue our Community and Friendship series, we're taking a look at why it enriches our lives (and the lives of our neighbors) to invest in the people around us. It doesn't have to mean they all become our best friends, but a little curiosity, a little paying attention, and a little effort to listen will go a long way in developing the kinds of relationships that make life sweeter. To help guide this conversation, we're delighted to welcome author and speaker Shannan Martin back to the show!  Through her writing, Shannan has revolutionized the way we think about relationships with her refreshing perspectives. She articulates the need for genuine, deep-seated friendships that stretch beyond conventional norms. She also unravels the complexities of forging meaningful connections in our modern world, and her last book “Start with Hello” beckons us toward extending hospitality in ways that might feel awkward at first, but will net us that sense of community and belonging we all long for.  Shannan and Jen discuss:  How Shannan, a self proclaimed introvert, faced her loneliness after she and her family moved from the country to the city by getting outside her comfort zone and making herself available to meet her neighbors What it means to be deeply embedded in a neighborhood where you are both a good neighbor, and your neighbors are good neighbors to you How making new friends, no matter how big or small, always starts with a simple “hello”  and the small steps towards getting to know someone by making eye contact, paying attention and helping when we can Shannan and Jen agree that when we reach out beyond our fears, beyond our comfort level, and beyond our borders with radical hospitality, good things start to happen in our neighborhoods which then trickle out to our communities and begin to affect society as a whole. And, be sure to stay with us ‘til the very end–you won't want to miss a little bonus chat among friends about whether ice cream is healthy for you or not, and what flavors Jen and Shannan swear by. * * * Thank you to our sponsors!  BetterHelp | Visit betterhelp.com/forthelove to save 10% on your first month!

What if we decided that nobody is exempt from being in our home?  Everybody's invited.

What does it mean to live as neighbors, to build community in a way that is healthy and whole? Today we talk with author Shannan Martin about loving and being loved by your neighbor, something I write about in chapter 5 of my book. We discuss the costs of getting stuck in the Christian subculture, learning to converse with people who think differently than you, and the challenges and beauty that come with living in proximity to others.

Do you wonder what it really means to love your neighbors or how to make that happen? Shannan Martin, author of Start with Hello, gives us encouragement and practical strategies for everything from hospitality to small talk.Resources:Start with Hello by Shannan Martin

We all want to make real, lasting connections with people. So why not start with your very own neighbors? It can feel a little intimidating to reach out to someone you don't know, maybe even a little awkward. It did for writer Shannan Martin too. But despite her status as a card-carrying introvert, Shannan has found that connecting with the community around her in small, low-stakes ways has given her more joy than just sticking to a polite wave. Emily and Shannan talk about some easy ways you can get to know your neighbors or loose acquaintances a little more (Guess what? You don't have to feed them dinner!). Because at the end of the day, once you push past your feelings of discomfort, you'll discover that the gift of connection is definitely worth it.   Thanks to our episode sponsor!

Hospitality can be defined in so many different ways which makes it a very broad topic, but author Shannan Martin joins me today to talk about it and what it means to be a good neighbor. Her book Start with Hello covers how to create a sense of community with our neighbors, even if we are introverted. Shannan argues that we are all hungry for community even if we don't quite realize it, and she offers great advice on how to start creating that sense of community. Shannan offers ways to carve out space in our lives to create connections. I, for example, try to keep Fridays open for social gatherings, and Shannan offers examples from her own life as well. She defines hospitality as the door being easy on its hinges and explains what she means by that.

How do you become a good neighbor? How do you connect more deeply with others when we live in a detached, distracted, and divided world? Shannan Martin says it begins with one word. You’ll find out what it is, as well as more simple ways to live connected. What steps have you taken to be a good neighbor? Join us for Chris Fabry Live.

Today I talk to author Shannan Martin, who wrote the book Start with Hello (And Other Simple Ways to Live as Neighbors) In this practical, compelling book, author Shannan Martin shares simple practices for living as a more open-hearted, empathetic neighbor who sees past what divides us, looks for common ground, and is rewarded with vibrant and enduring connection.   There are so many ways, both intentionally and unintentionally, we wall ourselves off from one another, yet we are truly better, healthier, and happier together. The good news is authentic connection can be found. Martin shares how to: Believe in the possibility of healthier, sturdier, more unified communities and be committed to the collective health of those at the sidelines. Trade feelings of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection for the security and camaraderie of living in connection with the people near them. Engage simple, accessible practices for living as a more open- hearted, empathetic neighbor. See past the headlines of division and become more curious about our shared humanity. Be equipped for the small, slow work of repair within a culture that often seems to have given up and experience the brighter life that comes through the persistent practice of solidarity.   This episode is so good!   Get Shannan's new book: Get to know Shannan on Instagram: Check out Shannan's website:

If you have been listening to my show for a while now, you may be familiar with today's guest. Shannan Martin joined me back in 2015 on Episode #45 to share about her family's life and mission. Today we talk about a number of things, including the practice of waking up and how Shannan defines ‘neighbor,' plus systematic injustice and the black squares that everyone posted on social media in 2020. Shannan is the author of The Ministry of Ordinary Places, Falling Tree, and her newest book, Start With Hello, which releases October 11. Connecting with neighbors in intentional ways is something that screams “Shannan and Corey Martin.” Shannan says Start With Hello started in her family's neighborhood as she found her heart gravitating toward connecting with the people around her, especially people who don't look like her. Shannan says her calling is to live as a neighbor, which she defines as anyone who her life intersects with. Everything she knows about living as a neighbor she said she learned from her neighbors. We can love our neighbors like Shannan by being intentional, starting with hello. Connect with JamieFacebook //  Instagram // YouTubeGET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE

Lisa welcomes her long time friend, author, speaker and blogger Shannan Martin to JOE today. Shannan and her family moved to what some might call "the wrong side of the tracks" a while back and that brought her to write her new book Start With Hello. Jesus left us with two commandments - one of them was to love our neighbor as ourselves. How can we actually do that when we don't know our neighbor? Listen in today as Lisa and Shannan discuss how to fulfill this in our world today.   Links: Sponsor A Child with Compassion Start With Hello Book Shannan's Books Website Instagram Twitter Cozy Earth Coupon Code Jesus Over Everything Advent Collection 1   A JOE Production.
