Are we scared to let love flow? Would we have questioned and rebuked when Jesus let a woman anoint His feet with oil? Paul explores the heart of the father, and what His kingdom really looks like.

Is everything really acceptable, or do we need to lay down the law? Adam explores the way Jesus shows how to walk the tightrope between grace and truth.
