In today’s episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, Joe hosts Pastor Rob as we dive into the short but powerful book of 2 John—part of our One Hit Wonders series this Thanksgiving week.
John, writing as “the elder,” warns the church about false teaching, reminds us that truth is discovered—not created, and shows how love and obedience to God’s Word are inseparable.
You’ll learn:
✔ Why truth matters in a culture that says “your truth” and “my truth”
✔ How love without truth leads to immorality—and truth without love leads to legalism
✔ Why guarding your heart is more important than guarding your home
📖 Key Verse: “And this is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands.” (2 John 6)
