Ennie Hickman @DelrayCollective was crushing it in ministry, speaking on international stages and running youth programs. Then his 4-year-old daughter dropped a bomb: she thought Daddy worked at the airport. His 7-year-old son delivered the killing blow over pancakes: "Daddy, I want to meet our neighbors because Jesus commanded us to love them." Plot twist: this ministry superstar didn't even know his neighbors' names. Now this father of nine opens his home every Wednesday for "family dinner" with whoever shows up. No agenda. No evangelization pitch. Just food. Nearly 1,000 homes have joined his Delray Collective revolution proving the mission field you're ignoring might be your own cul-de-sac.Top 5 Insights from Ennie Hickman • Your neighbor means YOUR ACTUAL NEIGHBOR. Not the metaphorical neighbor in Haiti. Jesus meant Bill next door who votes differently and Susan across the street who annoys you. • Ministry success can destroy your family. When venues say "don't bring your family, we need the product we're paying for," you're not a minister anymore, you're a performer. • Big families are walking evangelization tools. Nine kids at dinner preaches louder than any sermon. People watch how you discipline, love, and survive, then want what you have. • Quality beats quantity every time. Helping 28 Guatemalan families deeply surpasses helping 300 superficially. Stop chasing numbers and start chasing transformation. • God doesn't need you, He desires you. The mission succeeds with or without you. Like Abraham and Sarah, do your part (they still had to go to the tent), but God handles the miracle.Ennie Hickman VP of Advancement, St. Constantine School Founder, Delray CollectiveFounder, Amigos de Aplas (Guatemala Mission) Board Member, The Pines Catholic Camp Dr. Johann D'Souza Clinical Psychologist & Host My practice: https://www.valuesfirsttherapy.com/ My collective: https://www.valuesfirstcollective.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johanndsouza/ X: https://x.com/drjohanndsouza Substack: https://drjohanndsouza.substack.com/If you're exhausted from saving the world while losing your family and neighbors, this episode is your wake-up call. Ennie proves that the most radical ministry might be knowing your neighbor's name, that choosing your daughter's dorm drop-off over a board retreat is always right, and that Pope John XXIII's secret to movements is starting with simplicity and humility.Subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/@drjohanndsouza for conversations about choosing presence over platforms.#DelrayCollective #FamilyDinner #LoveYourNeighbor #MinistryBalance #CatholicFamily #DrJohannDSouza #EnnieHickman #VirtuousLeaders👇 When's the last time you ate dinner with your actual neighbors?
