S5.E43 What Does Your Personality Have To Do With Loving God?
Jesus didn't simply tell us to love God—He told us how. In Part 2 of this series, Steve unpacks what it means to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Discover how each part of your life and personality was designed to worship God, why every personality naturally emphasizes one area over another, and why Jesus wants all of us—not just our favorite part. If you've ever wondered what wholehearted devotion really looks like, this episode is for you.
