Summary

Are we unconditionally loved by God or not? How you answer that question will play a role in how you live your life.


Key Points From This Episode:

  • Why Natalie relates to our listener’s anxiety over this topic.
  • Why Natalie thought her own mother’s treatment of her was how God must treat her, too. Spoiler alert: This was not a fair comparison.
  • How spiritualizing everything can be detrimental to your emotional and mental well-being.
  • Why believing that everyone else who is in “authority” over you is speaking the words of God can lead to some serious spiritual abuse.
  • The difference in believing that God’s love is not unconditional versus believing that His love is unconditional, and the fruits that appear in our lives due to each belief.
  • How your programming about God determines what you will find in the Bible.
  • Our conclusion (another spoiler alert): God’s love is not weak, and you are not a problem that His love can’t handle. God is not like people, and His love isn’t, either.

0:26.7

about today's episode because someone left a question and it really got me going.

I am so excited about this question because what we're going to talk about today this is the crux of everything.

completely contrived.
