In this episode of Midweek Move, Dallas and Carlos walk through Mark 12:28–34 and talk about the greatest commandment. Jesus makes it simple: love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.

We look at what this meant for the people listening to Jesus in the first century, how it connects to the Old Testament, and why it still matters for us today. Whether you’re new to reading the Bible or have studied for years, this conversation will help you see the passage in a new way and think through what it looks like to live it out.

Join us as we go line by line, keeping it practical, biblical, and real.
