Featuring: Dr. Scot McKnight
In this rich, humorous, and deeply practical message, theologian Dr. Scot McKnight takes us back to the very heart of spiritual formation—what he calls The Jesus Creed: love God and love others. Drawing from years of biblical scholarship and personal experience, McKnight explores how Jesus, shaped by Jewish rhythms of prayer and covenant, saw the Shema and Leviticus 19 as the center of a spiritually formed life.
He invites us to reconsider our categories of spiritual maturity, not through disciplines or theological systems alone, but through love expressed in ordinary, everyday relationships—including with our enemies. From the sacred rhythms of Jewish prayer to modern-day table fellowship, McKnight illustrates how embodying this creed transforms not just our theology, but our relationships, our churches, and even our witness to the world.
Using stories of students, Scripture, ancient rabbis, and yes—Italian cheese shops—McKnight shows how the Jesus Creed is not just a mantra to recite, but a lifelong rhythm that reshapes our hearts, habits, and hospitality.
