In today’s episode, Phillip and Ray take a deeper look into 1 John 3:11 –24 and what it really means to love one another the way Jesus loved us. We dive into real and relatable conversations about sin, pride, dependence on Jesus, and the Holy Spirit’s role in shaping our love.

Topics we cover:

-What 1 John teaches about love

-How sin should drive us toward God, not away

-Why dwelling on sin can actually be pride

-Phillip’s current struggle learning dependence on Jesus

-Letting the Holy Spirit convict and guide

-Transactional vs. Sacrificial love

-Why sacrificial love is uncomfortable

-How Spirit-empowered love gives others a glimpse of God

If you’ve ever wrestled with loving people well, feeling stuck in sin, or wanting your faith and love to be more authentic, this episode will speak to you.
