There was a time when knowing your neighbors wasn't just common—it was expected. Today, that simple connection has become increasingly rare. Josh and Amanda unpack why neighborhood relationships have faded and what we've collectively lost in the process.

The numbers tell a troubling story: nearly one in six Americans don't know any neighbors' names, with this figure jumping to 26% among millennials. Even more striking, 65% of Americans admit to actively hiding from their neighbors. What happened to the neighborhood connections many of us remember from childhood?

Whether you're a front-porch sitter who knows everyone on the block or someone who ducks behind curtains when neighbors approach, this episode will make you reflect on what true community means in today's world. Perhaps it's time to rekindle those front-yard conversations—or at least learn your neighbor's name.

Have you met your neighbors lately? Share your neighborhood stories with us and join the conversation about rebuilding local connections in an increasingly disconnected world.
