Love God. Love people. Sounds simple, right? But if it’s that simple, why do so many of us still miss the mark? In this episode of Shifts and Giggles, Rafer breaks down the Greatest Commandment from Mark 12 and shows how it’s not just a rule—it’s a flow. God’s love to us. Our love back to Him. Then love for ourselves. Then love for others.
If you’ve ever struggled with self-love, criticism, or wondering why relationships feel strained, this teaching will help you see where the breakdown happens and how the Father’s love can transform everything. Rafer shares practical truths about sanctification, holiness, and what it means to love yourself so you can love others better.
Topics covered:
- Why “Love God, Love People” is more than a command—it’s a process.
- How sin is simply “missing the mark of love.”
- Why loving yourself is the key to loving others well.
- How the Holy Spirit gently guides us into sanctification and holiness.
- Practical steps to receive the Father’s love daily.
