Just Jesus

AJ Jones

This week was heavy. Tragedy, violence, and division flooded our nation and our newsfeeds, leaving many of us feeling shocked, angry, and heartbroken. In this episode, we wrestle honestly with grief and confusion while returning to the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:37–39.

At the core of the Christian life is a simple but radical call: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. But who is our neighbor? And how do we love well in a culture marked by hostility, politics, and endless arguments online?

Through Scripture and prayer, AJ helps us explore what it means to step away from division, cling to Jesus above all, and live out the fruit of the Spirit in real life. The hope for America (and for us) isn’t found in a politician or a party. It’s found in Jesus, just Jesus.
