Is it possible to stay spiritually connected when life never slows down? In this second message of our Dear Church series, Pastor Jon Kragel unpacks Jesus' words to the Church in Ephesus—a group of believers who were busy, disciplined, and doctrinally sound, but had lost something essential: their love. Jesus gives a clear warning and a practical path forward: Remember. Repent. Redo. Because a church—or a person—that leaves their love will lose their light.

A new Netflix series called "Forever" follows two teen athletes in Los Angeles falling in love for the first time. The show's creator, Mara Brock Akil, discusses the series, and what went into adapting a Judy Blume novel for the screen.

June 1st, 2025

Episode Summary: Today, we're exploring a topic that feels counterintuitive but profoundly transformative: "How to Rekindle Your First Love.” Together with Pastor Jessica Van Roekel, we’ll examine why this is important, how it helps us live our lives in Christ, the warning signs of losing it and how to get back to it. We’ll offer biblical wisdom, personal stories, and practical insights to help you embrace joy as a choice, a fruit of the Spirit, and a testament to God’s faithfulness. Quotables from the episode: Search for identity and purpose can only be found in our personal relationship with God. We cannot chase Dr. Michelle’s experience with God, my experience with God, or your pastor’s experience with God. We gather corporately for worship services, but the rest of the week, we “gather” with God as an individual. We must seek our own revelation of his love for us, who we are IN him and TO him. Life confuses, distracts, or points us to look at the world or church leaders for insight into ourselves. Ultimately, Christ reveals himself and will return to set things right. No more broken hearts or tears. All hope will be fulfilled. All promises will be kept. The book of Revelation uses imagery to describe the end of time, but the letters to the churches at the beginning of the book are easy to understand. Christ’s purpose for the letters are to challenge, encourage, warn, and build up believers and churches throughout history. The letter’s values for us today includes: a revelation of what Christ loves and values along with what he hates and condemns. They also give us a clear statement about consequences for disobedience and spiritual neglect along with rewards for spiritual alertness, diligence, and faithfulness to Christ. They also provide the standard for any individual or church to judge their true spiritual condition and provide an example of Satan’s methods for attacking and working against the church or individual Christian. The Christians in Ephesus were complimented for: toil, patient endurance, separateness from evil, pursuers of truth, bearing up for the Lord’s sake, not grown weary. They were criticized for losing their first love. The first love is defined as: commitment to the original love, truth, purity, and power of Jesus and his original revelation. Our first love protects and helps us live the way Jesus calls us to. Our first love protects us because it helps us avoid sin, prevents us from running after false teaching, and helps us not forsake Jesus. But the consequences of losing our first love means we forget about loving the hurting, loving our fellow siblings in Christ, and about our own lost, wretched nature before we gave our life to Christ and his Lordship. We can lose our first love through spiritual distraction, loneliness, weariness, focusing more on the battle rather than our Victor, listening to other voices, and allowing religious actions to replace relationship. But God gives us warning signs. Let’s go through the warning signs: delight in something/something else more than God; lacking of longing for prayer and Bible reading; don’t think about God throughout the day; claim to “be human” to excuse behaviors/attitudes; and lack of cheerful giving or service. There’s more: treating other Christians with more judgment than kindness, view Christ’s commands as restrictions to happiness, striving for mankind’s acclaim, allowing fears to control decisions to share the Good News of Christ, refuse to give up an activity that displeases God, complacent to sinful attitudes around you, and unwillingness to forgive. To rekindle our first love, we choose to remember God’s love, his faithfulness and our initial love for him. We can remember what he saved us from and how we were before we welcomed him into our lives. The second way to rekindle our first love is to REPENT. Jesus, our High Priest, stands ready to forgive us if we would turn and come to him. We need to admit we’ve lost it, stop ignoring the warning signs and bring our “spiritual” care into the “mechanic” for service. He stands waiting for us and we don’t need to be ashamed or put undue pressure on ourselves. The third step is to RETURN. Return to where you lost it. Don’t try to be a mile ahead of where you use to be. Go back and begin again with renewed love for God. Don’t beat yourself up for letting your love for God grow cool. Remember you’re not alone, remember God is for you and loves you. Repent and return. Scripture References: Revelation 2:1-5 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” 1 John 4:19 “we love him because he first loved us.” Luke 7:36-50 Hebrews 4:12-16 “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Jesus the Great High Priest Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” 1 Timothy 1:6 “For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God.” Jude 20-21 “But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life,” Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Send us a textIn this week's episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, we're getting our hands dirty—in the best way. It's time to pull the weeds. Using Revelation 2:5 (TPT) as our anchor, we talk about the small compromises that slowly choke out our spiritual growth and how repentance isn't about shame—it's about freedom.Sara shares her personal reflections from the week:What hidden “weeds” are crowding out your joy and passion?Are your spiritual roots dry and in need of living water?What daily choices are keeping you from walking fully in the mind of Christ?You'll learn how true repentance (metanoia) is more than a mindset shift—it's a spiritual renewal. Let this episode be an invitation to return to your first love, pull out the weeds, and let God reignite the fire in your heart.

In this spoiler filled episode, the ladies review, Forever, Netflix's bold reimagining of Judy Blume's iconic novel. Set in 2018 Los Angeles, this coming-of-age series follows Keisha, a track star from Crenshaw, and Justin, an aspiring musician from Park-Windsor Hills, as they navigate first love, identity, and the messy truths of growing up.

James was going through Tinder the other day when he came across his very first love. He swiped right and there was a match! They have been texting ever since and he's excited about getting back in touch with her. However, since they met on Tinder he's worried that she might not be looking for anything serious and he could end up with a broken heart once again. Should he go for it? Should he love her or list her?

John 4:25-26 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” How do you think the woman at the well understood what Jesus said about God? This verse reveals that she didn't understand it at all. She again changed the subject, but at least hovered around the salvation issue. She at least knew that God was going to send the Messiah, and that when He came, He would declare all things. I'm not sure what the woman understood what “all things” the Messiah would declare, but Jesus had already declared some amazing things. He had declared that He could give her living water that springs up to eternal life. He had declared that He knew about her life—remember, He knew of her 5 husbands and that she was living with a guy. He had explained the characteristics of true worship and that God is spirit. We find in this verse the greatest declaration of everything He had said to the woman. “I who speak to you am He.” He is the Christ, the Messiah, the One for whom she, her people, and all of Israel were waiting. Here is today's encouragement for us. The good news for her is also good news for us if we too are in need of salvation, which of course, we are! Everyone needs a savior. Everyone needs eternal life. Everyone needs a never-ending spring of living water gushing forth from within. God had placed this woman in the path of the Christ, whom she so badly needed. If we have become believers and disciples of Christ, then we know what amazing, overwhelming joy, and gratitude this woman experienced. These verses remind us of our first love for Christ that arose when we realized who Jesus was and what He has done for us. It confirms our faith in Him, and should assure us that we have not trusted in Jesus in vain. We believe Jesus is who He said He is. He is the Christ, our savior, and source of living water that springs up to eternal life. I hope you'll pause, remember your first love for Jesus, and if you've drifted away from it or have taken it for granted, return to your first love for Jesus. Be amazed at who He is and that you have His life in you. Worship God in spirit and truth. Drink deeply and satisfyingly from His presence so that you can live to love for His glory today. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?First love can be immensely powerful; a profound and unforgetable journey that shapes who we are. It teaches us about intimacy, boundaries and heartbreak and as parents it challenges all of our skills and perceptions.In this episode my daughter, Phoebe, offered to talk about her first experience; what it taught her, how it changed her, and what she thinks adults need to understand to support their teen; particularly one who is same sex attracted. What I learned from our experience is that the most important thing is knowing your child is in a kind, honest, loving relationship. Phoebe reflects on the problems with the long-distance aspect of her relationship, the struggle to gain assertiveness, and the eventual breakup. The conversation also touches on the role of social media, the importance of closure, and the growth Phoebe experienced as a result of her experiences. TOP BREAK-UP TIPS:Provide time and space for your teenager to process the breakup without pressure.Avoid making judgmental comments about the ex-partner or trying to convince the teenager they are "better off".Support your teenager in finding healthy coping mechanisms, such as focusing on personal goals and interests.Encourage your teenager to set boundaries with the ex-partner, including unfollowing on social media, if needed for the healing process.Recognize that the healing process after a first love breakup can take significant time, often 6 months or more.Support the showThank you so much for your support.

Are you on fire for God but worried about the subtle ways faith can erode? Join Conrad as he explores sobering historical and personal examples of apostasy and discover biblical safeguards to keep your spiritual relationship with Jesus strong and steadfast. Bullet Points (Key Takeaways):Understanding apostasy and recognizing its subtle beginnings. "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." (1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV)Historical examples of spiritual leaders who fell:Alexander Dowie: Healing ministry to self-proclamation as Elijah, a fall due to pride.William Branham: Powerful gifts of knowledge and healing, but strayed from his calling into controversial doctrine.Charles Templeton: Dynamic evangelist who became agnostic due to prioritizing intellectualism over a spiritual relationship with God.Personal examples of believers who strayed:"Sunshine": Mixed New Age teachings with Christianity, neglecting biblical grounding."Mandy": Faced intense family opposition for her prophetic ministry, leading to her disappearance from public life. "A man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Matthew 10:36 KJV)"Samantha": Came out of witchcraft with pure faith but lacked spiritual oversight, leading to doctrinal error."Jack": Shifted from synchronized spiritual revelation to monetizing insights and seeking followers. "For the love of money is the root of all evil." (1 Timothy 6:10 KJV)"Jimbo": Moved from impactful street evangelism to a corporate pastor role, ceasing public outreach. "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." (Revelation 2:4 KJV)Key reasons for falling away: Pride, neglecting the Word of God, lack of accountability, shifting focus to self-promotion or financial gain, not staying in one's divine calling.How to safeguard against apostasy:Daily study and deep engagement with Scripture. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV)Cultivate humility and seek accountability within the body of Christ. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18 KJV)Maintain spiritual vigilance and a consistent prayer life. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8 KJV)Hold fast to sound doctrine and test all spiritual experiences against the Bible. "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." (1 Timothy 4:16 KJV)The importance of a spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, grounded in both Spirit and Word.**Connect With Me:**- Blog: conradrocks.net  https://www.conradrocks.net/- Social Media:  Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | TikTok  https://www.facebook.com/conrad.carriker  https://www.instagram.com/conradcarriker  https://twitter.com/MostRadicalMan  https://www.tiktok.com/@supernaturalchristianity**Free Resources:**- Try Audible Free Trial  https://amzn.to/2MT9aQW- Get Readwise Free Trial  https://readwise.io/i/conrad8- Start Amazon Prime Free Trial  https://amzn.to/2Jtymte**My Work:**- Books: Open Your Eyes | Night Terror  https://amzn.to/3RJx7by  https://amzn.to/3XRFohl- Shop: Team Jesus T-Shirts  https://teespring.com/stores/team-jesus-4- Support: PayPal  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ConradRocks- For Creators: Get $10 off StreamYard  https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5663052624035840

I'm sharing this story to help anyone who might be going through something similar, feeling confused, trapped, or ashamed. You're not alone, and it was never your fault.

Parents of adolescents can sometimes feel like they're in a tough spot: they get so much pushback and can lose their confidence when it comes to talking about the topics that really matter such as romance and love. Additionally, many parents don't feel up to the task of talking with their teens about this subject—often because they're still making sense of their own relationship journeys. In her new book, First Love: Guiding Teens through Relationships and Heartbreak, journalist, author, and professor Lisa A. Phillips reminds us that all adults are really still recovering from being teenagers, and that they bring their own experiences and ideas of first love into conversations with their kids. In this episode, Dr. Alexandra chats with Lisa about how our society has a tendency to demean and devalue fist love, the fact that most adolescents wish their parents spoke with them about relationships, and why a crush really is a milestone, too. They also explore how parents bring their own experiences and biases to these conversations, and often let their own fears and hang-ups stop them from having this important dialog in the first place."Your Anxiety Toolkit" on MasterClass: www.masterclass.com/youranxietytoolkitFirst Love: Guiding Teens Through Relationships and Heartbreak by Lisa A.

That all-consuming, dizzying feeling is what acclaimed poet Seán Hewitt captures in his debut novel, Open, Heaven. The book follows a teenager named James, whose first love is made complicated by his own sexuality and the realities of the rural English village where he lives. Seán joins Mattea to talk about the difference between love and desire, the role of nature in his work and why Ireland is such fertile ground for poets. If you enjoyed this conversation, check out these episodes:Alan Hollinghurst: Coming of age in Britain and writing through the gay gazeEmma Knight: 'Bad' mothers make good stories — and are more true-to-life
