333: Love God. Love People: The Greatest Commandment

What matters most? When pressed about the most important command, Jesus links two Scriptures into one inseparable call: love God fully and love your neighbour tangibly. We unpack Luke 10:25–37—why “two” commands function as one, how fences around the law missed the heart, and how the Good Samaritan redefines who counts as neighbour.
