At the end of every podcast, we like to ask our guests to share what God has been teaching them in this season of life. Join David Snyder and Steve Vecchitto as they talk about the changes in multifamily real estate and the potential for social and spiritual impact in local communities.

Exodus 25:8

And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst.

David Snyder: For some reason, God has just brought the word sanctuary to my mind. And I probably haven't thought about that word in forever. I don't know why, but in the last few weeks, I've been studying how God gave sanctuary to Moses, he gave sanctuary to Jonah to King David. 

And I just feel I'm very at peace with one of the things I have been called to do in life is provide sanctuary for our residents and where it's a peaceful place for them to grow socially and spiritually, as they try to take steps along the line. 

I've enjoyed sanctuary myself during this time of COVID. Because I'm up here in my mountain cabin. And I'm in the sanctuary. And I think that's maybe where this came from. I'm just so grateful to provide sanctuary for my residents. 

Steve Vecchitto: if I may actually have two that are meaningful my life today. And the first is Galatians 5:22, which is the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I just love that if I live my life through those words, I'd have a wonderful life. 

Then, in the season we're in with COVID, I have really been dwelling on Matthew 6:30, which says, Do not be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow we'll be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own troubles. And I think the Lord gives us plenty of mercy today and provides for all we need today. With COVID and wondering what the economy is going to look like and how our business is going to run. I could quickly run to tomorrow and be anxious about that. But instead, I can go to this passage that just gives me peace.
