Jesus commands us to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbours as ourselves. This key unlocks so many treasures, about the Kingdom, about leadership, about discipleship, about ourselves, and about daily living.
The talks each day take us beneath the surface of this Great Commandment and engage in the everyday task of faithfulness, fruitfulness, and flourishing as we follow Christ in our daily living.
