Summary

Conflict. Division. Disagreements. Whether it’s with a neighbor, a co-worker, a friend—or even a stranger—navigating relationships isn’t always easy. Yet somehow, we’re called to love our neighbor.

But what does that even mean? And how does it show up when relationships are so complicated?

Well, on this episode of the 4:13, author and Bible teacher Jada Edwards will challenge you to rethink what love is. Because (Spoiler Alert!) we often get love wrong! It’s nothing like how the world defines it!

So today, Jada explains what love really is and how understanding God’s divine version of love can change everything. You’ll learn how to tell if you're truly being loving—or just being nice—and five surprising ways to love others the way God intended.

So, if you’ve got someone in your life who’s hard to love—or you just want to learn to love others well—listen in! You’ll appreciate this deep, grace-filled conversation with my friend, Jada.
