love

  • Jesus leaves the disciples a parting gift: peace. What we still get wrong about it and why pairing it with love is central.

  • Episode 25. May 20, 2022

  • Jesus commands us to love. But he doesn’t lay out the rules. It’s our job to figure out what that really means.

  • The thing about love is that we act as if it’s optional. Like we have a choice. Jesus doesn’t actually give us the choice.

  • Trust

    The secret ingredient of love: trust. Choosing to trust. Being trusted; and trustworthy. This is all actually required for love.

  • The problem is that we think John 10 is about punishing those who don’t follow Jesus. We get it completely wrong.
