Trees are supposed to bear fruit. Similarly, children of God are designed to bring forth "fruits". So what fruits does God expect us to bear? What stops us from bearing fruit? And what can we do to start bearing fruit?

Who is the greatest in the kingdom? How can I be great? What more must I do to earn a great reward? These questions drive our study today as we learn Jesus' responses to similar questions posed to him. Want to know how to be great? Listen to the Great One; the answer isn't quite what you may think!

What happens when a sheep gets lost? Of course, the shepherd leaves the flock to rescue him. But what gets that sheep lost in the first place? What does God feel about those who get lost on purpose? And what can we do to help rescue others who feel lost? Those questions and more answered this week in our study.

A shepherd leads his flock, not by chasing after them with dogs, but by walking before them and calling to them. The flock follows him, not because they fear him, but because they recognize his voice and know his love and concern for them. This week we study some intimate experiences between the Master Shepherd and some of his sheep that illustrate that love and which will help us recognize His shepherding in our own, daily lives.

In this bonus episode we interview Ashley Laneri, a seminary teacher and a soon-to-be Master of Religious Studies with a thesis on women in the Church. Starting with Mary and Martha from Luke 10 we move to tackling some hard-hitting questions about women in the Church. What is a woman's role in the Church? How can women break the cycle of comparison? And what can we all learn that helps us love God and love our neighbor better?

After a wonderful Easter week where we studied and felt anew how much Jesus loves us we turn our attention this week to how we can better love God and our neighbors. Jesus taught some of the most powerful parables targeting these two, great commandments. Study with us this week as we uncover principles for greater love so we can keep the "greatest" commandments our Lord gives us.
