    based on 4 ratings
     | 932 views

    In the kingdom of God, Jesus has a trade secret too. It's about trading our old selves for new ones. This trade happens when we encounter God's love and follow Jesus on his way of love. Along this path, we trade our mindset of obligation for a mindset of opportunity.

    Hey guys! Today we're going to talk about something super cool. You know how companies have these things called trade secrets that give them an edge over their competitors? Well, Jesus has a trade secret too. It's all about trading our old selves for new ones. This trade happens when we experience ...read more
