I think we have to navigate new ideas to reach new people.

The Lord our God is one Lord and that shall love the Lord that God with all that heart,

all that soul, all that might.

Then it goes on to say, I want you to talk about this when you wake up.

I want you to talk about it with your kids when you go to sleep.

I want you to talk about it when you're on your way to the store.

I want you to talk about it at every point of every day.

Welcome to the Jesus Calling podcast.

When it comes to loving others, we sometimes have to stretch ourselves to honor the commands that Jesus has about love.

How can I love someone who is so different from me?

We might ask ourselves, how can I love someone who I don't understand and who doesn't understand me?

In our daily lives, it's natural for us to make bonds with people who are like us.

Have our same values, believe like we do.

It can be tempting to live in that bubble and think that we are practicing love.

But Jesus calls us to do more.

He asks that all we do be done and love.

If we can just remember that before each conversation we have,

before each decision we make in regards to others,

as we measure the words and actions that we speak and do each day,

we'll find that a life lived in love will bring healing, reconciliation and benefits to our lives.

We could never have imagined.

Our guests this week are deliberate about taking a posture of love toward what they do in the world.
