Keeping Love at the Center

How can Christians become people whose lives are defined more by the love of Christ than by the political and cultural divisions around them? The biblical command to love one another is a directive that we are to obey and put into practice. Dr. Winfred Neely helps us make "love one another" practical on our every day lives. Hope you can join us for Equipped with Chris Brooks.
