Send us a textWhat if the most powerful love you’ll ever know doesn’t start with your resolve, but with God moving toward you? We dive into agape—love sourced in God, not manufactured by willpower—and trace how it actually works: it bears what’s heavy, believes when faith feels thin, hopes when the future looks dim, and endures when quitting seems reasonable. Anchored in 1 John 4 and the heart of the gospel, we unpack the big word that changes everything—propitiation—and why it means God isn’t angry at you in Christ. That assurance isn’t theory; it’s fuel. It frees you to cover faults instead of broadcasting them, to carry burdens rather than count them, and to trust that grace can reach the person you’ve quietly given up on.Along the way, we challenge performative love and show why white-knuckled niceness fails where Spirit-grown fruit flourishes. If love is a fruit, then abiding is the soil: Scripture, prayer, honest worship, and a life that keeps saying yes. We share how to hold a generous view of others without being naive, how to pray for enemies with a straight face, and how costly presence turns conflict into a place for grace. You’ll hear practical stories, Spurgeon’s sharp wisdom on covering faults, and a reframing of “love never fails” that avoids clichés and lands in everyday choices—at the table, in the text thread, and in the moments you’d rather walk away.If you’re weary of trying harder and ready to receive deeper, this is for you. Come discover how being loved by Jesus becomes the only way to truly love like Jesus—bearing, believing, hoping, and enduring all things.
