What does it mean to love others the way you love yourself? What does it mean to love oneself? We could've easily called this podcast "Love in the time of Covid19;" how do the stresses of life such as work, kids, marriage and pandemics impact our ability to love? We talk about it all on this week's episode of "Christianity in Action."  If you liked the podcast, feel free to give to support it by going to going to www.1stpresalbany.org and clicking the give online button or just click here.
