Episode notes
God As The Page Of Your Life
- The Shema reframes God's oneness as being the page on which you write your life, not merely item one on a list.
- Seeing God this way makes loving him the normative response that reshapes every area of life.
A Father's 'Listen' Explains The Shema
- Joby recalls his father saying 'listen to me, boy' to illustrate Shema's meaning of heed, not just hear.
- That personal example shows the Shema demands obedience and action, not passive listening.
Belief Is Hollow Without Love
- Right belief about God is important but worthless without love, according to Jesus' prioritization of the commandment to love God.
- Creeds emphasize belief, yet Jesus insists love must be the primary lived response to God.
