While most Christians know intellectually that both faith and works are important, the truth is that we tend to emphasize one over the other.

In this episode, the podcast crew unpacks how God calls and equips us to prioritize both—in His strength and for His glory.

Dig into James 1:19-27 and 2:14-26 for fresh insights on…

• The relationship between faith and works in the Bible
• God's invitation to partner with Him in His mission to the world
• Practical ways to love God and love your neighbor this year
