A MOVEMENT OF LOVE.

Want to see change in our world? It starts in the heart, our home, our neighborhood, our school, and our community. When each of us starts right where we are, our love can go far. Join the movement!

HOW TO LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE

Take the 30 Day Challenge! Choose one act of love every day, and go do it! Each week follows a theme inspired by the Sunday morning teaching series at Paradox, but there’s no need to go in order. You can even come up with your own ideas!
