What's up, what's up? Incredible, loved, and valued people. My name is MMA, and I am so thankful that in God's

grace and kindness, he is gifting me with the honor of welcoming you to the compelled podcast today.

I am so thankful that together we are getting to not just grow in knowledge of God's love, like know the biblical answers to

what his love is, to have a head knowledge of what his love is, but to grow in an experiential knowledge of his love,

to personally know the love of Jesus at our core, at our soul, genuinely, relationally, know his love.

And from that place, live compelled by it, convinced that one died for all, therefore all have died,

so that those who live may no longer live for themselves.

But for him who died and was raised in doing so, the perfect love of the father was demonstrated.

Friends, that's what we are here to do today. We are here to grow in knowledge of the love of God

and experience it personally in our own lives.

And from that place, go live it out.

May our lives be a reflection of such a perfect love.

May our lives be an overflow, or we share this love with other people.

Because though we have not seen God, like God lives in us. And when we love other people,

people see God through our love for them. So may we live compelled by the love of Christ

today. I'm so thankful through a podcast. We get to grow in that

together. I am stoked, guys, because we are in our choosing praise series. If you have not been

hanging out with us during this choosing praise series, we are in part four, which is the final part.

So over the last weeks, we have been learning about praising the Lord

and what it is that compels us to praise, even whenever we may not feel like it, even whenever

it may be really hard, even whenever we are walking through things that are scary and don't make

sense. And so on week one, we talked about how it's God's faithfulness.
