About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of being 'special' in the context of receiving Jesus' love and serving others.

Being "special" doesn't mean others should roll out the red carpet for us. Instead, it means receiving the unshakeable love of Jesus, which empowers us to become mature, grace-filled people who serve others first. ⛪ Looking for a church in New York City?
