Send us a textIn this special release episode, Bishop Rob Wright speaks with Bishop Craig Loya of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota about the immigration crisis unfolding in Minnesota and beyond. Recorded as a resource for clergy and lay leaders, the conversation moves beyond headlines to the lived realities facing immigrant communities.“On the one hand, we're seeing a campaign of cruelty and intimidation and violence. On the other hand, we're seeing the faith community mobilizing for love.” — Bishop Craig Loya“The central question for followers of Jesus is always the same: What does Christian love require of us now?” — Bishop Rob WrightBishop Loya shares how Episcopal congregations are responding with care—delivering food to families afraid to leave their homes, expanding food pantries, caring for children, and standing vigil outside daycares—while also naming the fear and trauma communities are experiencing.These themes echo a recent letter signed by 154 bishops across The Episcopal Church, including Bishop Wright. Addressed to the American people, the letter calls for accountability, restraint, and renewed commitment to human dignity, asking a simple and urgent question: Whose dignity matters Together, the podcast and the bishops' letter offer a clear call to prayer, moral courage, and faithful action in a time of fear.Give to the Episcopal Church in Minnesota.Give to Casa Maria.

In this message from Making Room, we reflect on 1 John 4 and the promise that perfect love casts out fear. Learn how hospitality becomes courageous, wise, and faithful when rooted in God's love.
For most of us, being humble is easier in theory than it is in practice. Reaching out in Christian Love and kindness often means being a peacekeeper and letting go of the need to be right or to win an argument. God wants us to walk with humility at work, on social media, and at home. When we're frustrated with someone across the table or online, considering the words and deeds of others through the lens of Jesus' sacrificial love for us can bring clarity. Our scripture for today is Ephesians 4:1–3, which says, “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”Let's pray. Lord, we live in a world that praises getting the last word. Being the loudest voice, or the winner of every argument is not your will for us. Bless us with the spirit of humility and guide us in being peacekeepers online and in person. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Can you truly love someone who prays differently than you? What if their faith journey looks nothing like yours? In this deeply personal episode of Married Into Crazy, hosts Snooks and Lovey interview a couple that get vulnerable about their interfaith marriage as a Muslim-Christian couple navigating love across religious lines. But this isn't your typical interfaith dialogue—this is about the real, messy, beautiful truth of falling in love with someone's heart before their religion. Richard and Patrice share their powerful story of how they discovered something revolutionary: authentic faith isn't measured by how well someone can quote the Quran or recite Bible verses—it's revealed through daily actions, choices, and how they treat others. In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ The moment they realized love transcends religious labels – How taking time to truly know each other revealed a shared devotion to God that went beyond denomination ✨ Why actions matter more than religious performance – The couple discusses how they learned to recognize genuine faith through kindness, integrity, and compassion rather than theological debates ✨ Navigating family expectations and cultural pressures – Real talk about dealing with families on both sides who questioned their interfaith union ✨ Finding common ground between Islam and Christianity – The surprising spiritual connections they discovered when they stopped focusing on differences ✨ Practical wisdom for interfaith couples – Honest advice for anyone considering or currently in an interfaith relationship ✨ Redefining what it means to be "equally yoked" – Challenging traditional interpretations and finding spiritual partnership beyond religious labels This conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about interfaith relationships, religious compatibility, and what it truly means to love God. Whether you're in an interfaith relationship, considering one, or simply curious about how love and faith intersect across religious boundaries, this episode offers profound insights delivered with Snooks and Lovey's signature humor and authenticity. Perfect for: Interfaith couples, anyone questioning religious compatibility in relationships, people interested in Muslim-Christian dialogue, those seeking authentic faith expressions, and anyone who's ever wondered if love can truly conquer religious differences.

1 Corinthians 131 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
As we conclude our Tenth Season we have tried to find, yet again, a New Year's Eve movie...and what we continue to find are movies that are not very good! However, this movie caused Michael and Jeffrey to take a good hard look at culture and the intersecting point of faith for Christians. How does a Christian "live and interact" with "Samaria?" How do we demonstrate Christian Love and Care while also not affirming the sin that surrounds us? Join us for the conclusion of season 10 and don't worry if you haven't seen the movie...we don't recommend you watch it!
The Practical Christian Life1st Thess 4:9-12Paul turns from teaching on chastity to teaching on charity. Teaching about LOVE. His words are extremely practical. He deals with three areas in which we must abound in love:The OBJECTS of our Christian Love.The OUTLINE of a Christian Lifestyle.The OBLIGATIONS of a Christian Testimony. A Christian is someone who knows and has experienced the love of God, and shows that love in his attitude to other believers, in our own lifestyle, and in our witness to our neighbours.Read the Notes HERE.

In John 13, Jesus, knowing His hour has come to depart to the Father, demonstrates the essence of divine love and humble service by washing His disciples' feet—a profound act that transcends cultural norms and reveals His sovereign identity as the Son of God. Though fully aware of Judas's impending betrayal and the coming crucifixion, Jesus performs this lowly task not only to model servant leadership but to foreshadow His ultimate sacrifice, emphasizing that true greatness lies in selfless love. The passage underscores that spiritual cleansing comes through faith in Christ's atoning work, not proximity to Him, and calls believers to embody His example by loving and serving others sacrificially. Jesus' command to follow His example is not merely symbolic but a moral imperative: if one knows the truth, blessedness comes not from knowledge alone but from obedience. The sermon thus calls the church to live out the gospel in humility, where genuine faith is evidenced by transformed lives marked by service and love.

Love Isn't Always Easy. Love Costs Something. Love Sees Beyond the External. Love Isn't Always Easy Loving someone can be risky and difficult. It takes vulnerability and can be hard. 1 Cor 13:4-7. Loving someone is easy when people are nice but can be quite a challenge when there is tension, disagreement, or pride involved. Luke 19:1-10. Jesus' was judged for his association with people that others viewed as “sinners” and “unclean”. Love Costs Something Loving someone often requires sacrifice and giving of yourself in ways that are not preferred (or undesirable). John 15:9-13, 17. Jesus commanded his followers to love each other as he loved them and to be willing to sacrifice everything. John 13:1-15, 34-35. The example Jesus left his disciples is to be willing to do the lowest task in serving each other. By loving each other in this way, you will make known to other people that you are Christ's disciples. Love Sees Beyond the External Appearances can be deceiving. What is on the outside is not what is important, but what is on the inside is what matters. 1 Samuel 16:1-12. As humans, we can get caught up with thinking about how things look and miss the more important traits of who a person is. Romans 2:11. God does not show favoritism but welcomes everyone to come to Him through His Son, Jesus. John 4:1-30. Jesus' disciples only saw a Samaritan woman and missed the whole point of what was happening.The post Film Series 2: How to Train Your Dragon and Christian Love first appeared on Living Hope.
