Tina Turner sang a song in the 80s called, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Well, Tina, Paul says Love has everything to do with it and without Love, we are nothing but a noisy cymbal being smacked out of time and rhythm! It just doesn't make any sense and it standing out alone makng a bunch of noise. But when the cymbal is hit in the rhythmn of the song, it great adds an accent and sounds wonderful! Today's culture is full of people trying to stand out or make it on their own. They want to do their own thing and stand above the rest and will do anything to make it happen without any regard to anyone else. Paul says, "Love is..." and he explains what LOve actually is. Love is a noun in the Greek but it is described by Paul using a bunch of verbs. Verbs are action words so if we are Loving, then people should be able to see it and receive something from ou action.

When people hear 1 Corinthians 13, their mind immediately goes to “love” but is that what Paul is talking about in this chapter? Yes, he mentions it many times and explains what love is, but why is Paul explaining love to the church at Corinth? It is because they are divided, they are enjoying sin instead of fleeing from it, and they are boasting about their spiritual gifts given to them by the Holy Spirit. Did you know the words he uses to describe love are not adjectives? They are verbs meaning love is an action! Love is something we do on a consistent basis because Paul is going to say, “Love never stops!” Are you loving? You may be surprised to find out you aren't loving at all!

Send us Fan MailIf you've been serving others for years and what you feel most often is a sense of duty instead of joy, obligation instead of overflow, we're speaking to you. Not to shame you, and not to tell you to do less, but to offer an invitation to come home to Agape, the unconditional love of God that doesn't have to be earned.We unpack how church leadership and ministry volunteering can quietly reward protective self-doing, even when it costs our health, families, and inner peace. We name the difference between doing the right things from the wrong place and serving from a grounded identity as the beloved. When Agape becomes the source, ministry stops being a mask and starts becoming a natural movement of grace through a formed life.You'll also get a short guided practice you can return to anytime: a pause with hand over heart, slow breathing, and simple prayers like “Father, I return to your love” and “Let your love be the source of mine.” We close with reflection questions that help you identify which protective self-pattern is most active, what triggers it, and where the gap between protective self-doing and beloved self-doing is costing you the most.If you're ready for a healthier, more sustainable Christian life and a deeper experience of Agape, press play. Subscribe, share this with a ministry friend, send us a message with your thoughts, and leave a review with the line that hit you hardest.

Evil still exists in the world, but Jesus conquers it in a way no human ruler ever has. Rather than defeating His enemies through force, He transforms them through agape, the self-sacrificing love that seeks another person's good at personal cost. This is the love displayed at the cross, where God stepped into human history and gave His life as a sacrifice for sin. The early church in Ephesus demonstrated this love in ways that turned the ancient world upside down, and the same victory is still unfolding today. Every act of foster care, forgiveness, prison ministry, or disaster relief is King Jesus continuing to conquer through His people. Agape is not a feeling. It is a decision, and it is the most powerful force in human history.Support the show

Simone Halpin, Kelly Brady, John Vandervelde, and Matt Marron respond to questions from Kelly's sermon from July 26, 2026

Send us Fan MailLove can look holy on the outside while it quietly runs on fear underneath. We pick up the thread from the protective self versus the beloved self and get painfully specific about how “human love” turns conditional without us noticing. I share the personal moment that cracked this open for me, how faith can become a way to keep people at arm's length, and the line that changed everything: "we were created by Agape to be Agaped and to Agape others."From there, we map out what that actually means in real relationships. We talk about spiritual formation as a lifelong process of being formed and shaped so divine love can flow through us, and we use a simple, practical path of recognition, ownership, naming, and letting go. Along the way, we name the barnacles that attach over time: resentment, unforgiveness, scarcity thinking, and how they weigh down your “vessel” until you're operating from the protective self without realizing it. If you've been feeling tired, irritable, or secretly bitter, you'll hear why.Then we walk through four patterns that show up everywhere: loving to be needed, loving to be seen, loving to manage discomfort (people pleasing and avoidance), and loving to keep a record. We anchor it in 1 Corinthians 13, where Agape does not boast, is not proud, and keeps no record of wrong, and we close with a short stillness practice and a declaration you can repeat when your protective self kicks in: “Agape is now my safety. I can rest.”If this helps you name what's been happening in your heart, share it with someone who needs it, subscribe for more, send us a message with your thoughts, and leave a review so more people can find this work. What pattern did you recognize most in yourself?For more insights on the Protective Self, check out these additional episodes: Understanding the True Self and False Self The Birth of the False Self  This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.
