Graduating is a major milestone, but stepping into a new season of life can bring uncertainty, pressure, and big decisions.

Just because it's different doesn't mean that it's wrong. It's just different." As we think of loving others based on Christ's summation of all the Old Covenant law, the question remains, "Do we love people?" Sometimes people are difficult to love, but Christ calls us to do so. Join David, TJ, and Alex as they seek to help us learn from each other as to how we can love others.

The Great Commandment calls us to two theological imperatives: to love God, and to love others. The Scriptures are littered with these imperatives to love others. Loving others is foundational to who we are as followers of Jesus Christ. So the question remains: Do we truly love other people? --- Jesus summed up two things our lives should reflect: loving Him, and loving others. He wrapped all of the Jewish laws into one overa...
