The book of Jude offers a powerful warning about those who secretly creep into the church, distorting truth and leading believers astray. In this episode ofSpiritCare, we explore Jude 1:1-16, breaking down each verse to uncover the characteristics, behaviors, and actions of these spiritual infiltrators. How can we recognize them? What impact do they have on the body of Christ? Join us for a deep dive into this urgent and timely message.

Imagine you find yourself not liking someone. Or perhaps you borderline hate them. Or, maybe you're in full-on hate mode for this person. Then Jesus comes along and informs you that the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor. What??? How do you love someone you do not like or may even hate? In this episode, we explore why we might not like or hate someone and how to love this person.

Inspired by getting ready for a busy Christmas season where people may not be as loving as they should be, this episode transformed into being about getting our spirits ready for any season. Think football season, baseball season, election season, pageant season, etc. This is any period when people may behave more self-centered than other-centered. How do we prepare our spirit for such seasons so that we don't pile on to the challenges of the season?
