There’s a common misconception that Judaism is a religion of law and Christianity is a religion of love.

9d ago46:20

46:20

History reveals a lot of things about human nature: our innate drive towards progress, discovery, relationship, community. Often motivated by a drive to feel safe and flourish.

Baseball as a Road to God / John Sexton 1:17:20
