Summary

Welcome to the first episode of our new Fruit of the Spirit series! 🍎🌿 We're kicking things off with love—the first fruit listed in Galatians 5:22 and the foundation for every other fruit that follows. But what does biblical love actually look like? Is it a feeling, a choice, or something more? In this episode, we unpack the different Greek words for love, why Jesus said loving God is the greatest commandment, and how our ability to love others flows directly from our relationship with Him. We'll also talk about the difference between the world's definition of love and the sacrificial, selfless love that Christ demonstrated for us. Whether you're struggling to love difficult people, wanting stronger relationships, or simply desiring to grow closer to God, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to pursue the kind of love that never fails. Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:22–23 Matthew 22:37–39 1 Corinthians 13 1 John 4 💛 If this episode encourages you, be sure to share it with a friend and join us next week as we continue our Fruit of the Spirit series.

0:11.7	Costs keep rising, and it's hard to feel confident that you're choosing the right path.
0:16.2	That's why I wanted to share something I've been learning about called Liberty Health Share.
0:20.6	It's not health insurance. It's a health care sharing ministry, which means you're joining a
0:25.3	community of believers who come together to help carry one another's medical expenses.
0:29.9	It's people living out the idea that we're stronger when we support each other and show up for
0:34.7	one another. They offer programs for different stages of life and different budgets.
0:39.0	So whether you're newly married, starting a family,
0:41.6	or just looking for a better, more aligned approach, it's worth checking out.
