About this episode
Have you ever felt like you had to earn God’s love? In this episode, we explore how liberating it is to discover that God’s love isn’t something we earn. It’s who He is.
We walk through Luke 7 and the moving story of a woman known for her sins who washed Jesus’ feet with her tears. While others looked at her with judgment, Jesus saw her with love and forgiveness. His parable of the two debtors reminds us that those who know how deeply they’ve been forgiven also learn how to love deeply.
This conversation challenges performance-based religion and points us back to grace. God’s love isn’t dependent on our behavior. It’s unconditional, unchanging, and meant to flow through us into the lives of others. As Galatians 5:6 says, what really matters is “faith working through love.”
If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt, shame, or the pressure to “do more” for God, this episode will encourage you to rest in His love and let that love shape how you see yourself and others.
Listen in, and then share this with someone who needs to hear that God already loves them completely, unconditionally, and forever.
