This week Rose Ann explores Core Concept 9 from the Choose Freedom Program: The Greatest Commandments. Discover how two simple but profound commands from Jesus can transform your freedom journey and help you understand the root of addiction and destructive behaviors.

The Greatest Commandment Rose Ann unpacks Matthew 22:37-40, where Jesus identifies the commandments: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. Learn how prioritizing these commands creates the foundation for lasting freedom.

Building Your Relationship with God

• Daily time in Scripture and reflection
• Prayer as both speaking and practicing stillness
• Meditating on God's Word
• Cultivating daily gratitude (writing down 10 things you're grateful for)

The Science Behind Transformation Neuroscience supports what God has been telling us for thousands of years—these spiritual practices literally change our neural pathways and renew our minds, just as Romans 12:2 promises.

Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself Understanding God's love for us transforms how we view others. Rose Ann shares her personal journey from judgment to grace, explaining why we must love ourselves first before we can truly extend that same love to others.

The Role of Forgiveness Freedom and healing begin when we reorder our love: God first, then self, then others. Processing forgiveness—both of ourselves and others—releases us to love as God loves us.

• What would shift in your life if loving God came first?
• What's first in your life right now—is it a habit, substance, or even a family member over God?
• Are you trying to do this alone when you need support and accountability?
