Loving God Most
from The Strong Roots Podcast Hosted by First Reformed Church
How do you know if you truly love God above everything else? Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind. But what does that actually look like in everyday life? In this episode of the Strong Roots Podcast, Kristin is joined by Pastor John and his father, Rick, for a powerful conversation about building an entire life around God's Kingdom.
