Podcasts about God is Love

Send a textThis is the first of two talks given by Archpriest Joseph Lucas at our 2026 Lenten retreat. Contemporary society constantly speaks about "love" but does not understand what it means to say that "God is love." Father Joseph Lucas will take you on a journey, from the creation of the universe to the end of history, to explore the meaning of divine love and to reveal that a life of self-denial is the only proper response. Archpriest Joseph Lucas is an Orthodox priest, patristic theologian, and professor. He serves as rector of Christ the Saviour Orthodox Cathedral in Miami Lakes, Florida, holds a PhD in Theology from Radboud University in the Netherlands, and his MDiv with Distinction in Patristics and Church History from St. Tikhon Orthodox Theological Seminary. He is the author of How to Read the Holy Fathers and Prayer of the Publican: Justification in the Desert Fathers, both published by Ancient Faith Publishing, and serves as co-editor-in-chief of Rule of Faith Journal. He teaches theology at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens and specializes in patristic exegesis and historical theology. Website @ https://www.st-innocent.orgInstagram @ https://www.instagram.com/st.innocentchurch/Facebook @ https://fb.me/SaintInnocentMaconGeorgia Help Support St. Innocent Orthodox Church @ https://onrealm.org/siocmacon/-/form/give/now

Exposition of 1 John 4:7-21

In 1974, Dolly Parton wrote the chart-topping country hit, “I Will Always Love You.” The iconic love song reached its crowning moment when Whitney Houston recorded it for the soundtrack to the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Houston's version of the song reached No. 1 in over twelve countries, won many awards, and has over 1.7 billion views on YouTube. Years later, the world is still full of love songs. Some are shallow, some are vulgar, some are sweet. Most of them are easily forgettable because most of them ignore the source of real love, God Himself. Two thousand years before Whitney Houston, the apostle John wrote the short letter of 1 John. In five chapters, John used a variation of the word love more than twenty-five times, more than any other book in the New Testament. And what John says about love is more than a soulful declaration of love. Two thousand years before Whitney Houston, the apostle John wrote the short letter of 1 John.

Send Shirah Chante a TextGod Is Love (1 John 4): Loving God by Loving People + A Word on Soulmates | Relationship RockShirah Chante welcomes listeners back to her live podcast, Relationship Rock, sharing that she is refining a new intro and inviting reviews, subscriptions, and visits to her blog and streaming platforms. She sings and discusses her song “God is Love,” referencing 1 John 4:8, 19–21, emphasizing that claiming to love God while hating a brother makes one a liar and encouraging listeners to ask God to fill them with His love. She distinguishes types of love—romantic eros, friendship/philia, and unconditional agape—citing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and addresses “soulmate” ideas while clarifying she is not romantically available. She notes that long-lasting relationships are not automatically ordained by God, warns against idolatry in romance, reflects on Adam and Eve, encourages repentance and redemption, and closes with a biblical blessing for peace.00:00 Welcome to Relationship Rock02:10 God Is Love Song Intro03:45 Live Performance God Is Love06:15 Scripture on Loving Others08:58 Not Your Soulmate11:50 Godly Love and Lasting Relationships15:37 Adam and Eve Love Lesson18:09 Redemption and Closing BlessingSupport the show

In this fourth part of The Way of Love series, Matt reads the Apostle John's beautiful understanding of the essence of God and the motivation and action of God all being love. The love that supersedes feeling, emotion where He has chosen to love and demonstrate that love to us. In turn, we are invited to live in His love and share it with others. This is the way of love, choosing to love others from the overflow of the love that has filled us.

The guys confess their most egregious romance fails from forgotten birthdays, last-minute Valentine's plans, and bookstore traditions gone stale to wildly different philosophies on “setting the bar” in marriage. Al uses the pain of romance to highlight another truth: there's pain that hurts, and pain that alters. That distinction becomes personal as Zach opens up about his mother's long battle with early-onset dementia and the complicated grief that followed her passing. The conversation turns to one of Christianity's hardest realities: if God is good and all-powerful, why does so much suffering continue in the world?  In this episode: Ecclesiastes 3, verse 11; Psalm 90, verse 12; Hebrews 12, verse 2; Colossians 2, verses 20–23; Romans 1, verses 24–25; Romans 8, verses 20–23; 1 John 2, verses 15–16; 1 John 4, verses 8–10 Today's conversation is about Lesson 6 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about C.S. Lewis on Christianity: Encounter the faith & wisdom of C.S. Lewis C.S. Lewis's writings bring the great questions of the Christian faith to life. Through his imaginative and invigorating style, Lewis answers these questions in ways that are compelling to those outside Christianity and energizing to those within the Christian faith. In this free, seven-lecture course, Professor Michael Ward—a leading scholar of C.S. Lewis—will explore Lewis's: argument for objective moral value in response to the rise of modern subjectivism; bittersweet path to conversion and the role of enjoyment in the Christian life; advice regarding the proper way to pray and read the Bible; teachings concerning the purpose of pain and how to confront suffering and loss; insights about the nature of heaven and hell. This course examines these fundamental topics not only through his classic works—including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Abolition of Man—but also through Lewis's personal experiences with doubt, conversion, suffering, grief, and joy. Through this course, students will discover Lewis's core lessons regarding the truth and goodness of the Christian faith and how to apply those lessons to one's life.  Join us today in discovering C.S.

Session: 2 Date of First Use: March 8, 2026 Title: God Is Love The Point: We can only truly know love by knowing God. Life Connection: For many people, love means whatever they want it to mean. They can express a deep and profound love for someone or something, but later that love disappears. Too often our examples of love disappoint or fail us. We see in God a whole different example of love. He is the very embodiment of love because He is love. The Bible shows us that we can know and experience that love through Jesus Christ.  Session Passage: 1 John 4:7-19

The Bible calls believers to lay down selfishness, not their God-given dignity, worth, or safety. Sacrificial love is holy; destructive love is not.

Send a textTo think about love God's way might look a little different and more narrow. (Referencing Matthew 7:13-14) But, is God's way of "narrow" actually restricting or binding? Jo and Sydney address this paradox and how we can live God's love. Support the showhttps://www.hisvessel.org/podcast

Discovering the God Jesus Knows Week 5In this message, Russ explores one of the most familiar yet most misunderstood attributes of God: God is love. Scripture says it plainly—but many of us still live with a quiet belief that God's love is conditional, dependent on our performance or our ability to “get it right.” Drawing from 1 John 4, Romans 8, Philippians 3, and real-life stories, we look at how performance-based faith distorts our identity, fuels shame, and keeps us from experiencing the unconditional love God already offers. This message invites us to lay down legalism, embrace the freedom of grace, and rediscover a God whose love is unchanging—on our good days and our bad ones.

The love of God cannot be divorced from His other attributes, such as holiness, sovereignty, and justice. Today, R.C.

This passage is one of only two in the New Testament declaring the great description of God's nature and being: "God is love." The riches of divine truth in this passage can be summarized as follows: v. 7 - The Command, the Source and the Power of Love v. 8 – The Unfortunate Truth and the Great Declaration v. 9 – The Manifestation of the Love of God v. 10 – Propitiation Is the Divine Remedy for Our Sin v. 11 – Jesus' Work of Love is our own Model of Love v. 12 – God's Love is Seen in the World When We Love One Another Christ's example of sacrificial love in going to the cross is our model as to the extent of sacrificial love to which we should go in loving our brothers and sisters in the church.

God is truth, God is love, and God is being itself. Today's Catechism readings begin to unpack the eternal nature of God and share with us God's “innermost secret." Fr. Mike teaches us that because God made us in his image and likeness, then we too are called to embody truth and love. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 212-221.

"Love of neighbor is a path that leads to the encounter with God… closing our eyes to our neighbour also blinds us to God." - Pope Benedict XVI, God is Love   Summary We begin with Love because marriage flows from our deepest identity and relationships, not just spousal dynamics. Created in the image of a loving, Triune God, we must first ask who God is and who we are in His eyes. Our relationship with God and with ourselves forms the foundation for loving others. Pope Benedict XVI's God Is Love reveals that eros and agape are inseparable dimensions of love: we are made to give and receive love. God's passionate, faithful love for His people—fulfilled fully in Jesus—becomes the model for marriage. In Christ, love of God and love of neighbor are one reality. Our first neighbor is our spouse, and loving them faithfully is the primary path to holiness and authentic love. Key Takeaways Love begins with God, not marriage Before focusing on spousal relationships, we must understand who God is and who we are in His eyes. Our identity as loved by God is the foundation for all love. You cannot love others without loving God and yourself rightly Knowing and receiving God's love allows us to love ourselves truthfully, which is necessary to love anyone else authentically. Eros and agape belong together Human desire (eros) is not bad; it is purified and fulfilled by God's unconditional love (agape). Love requires both giving and receiving. God's passionate love is revealed fully in Jesus Christ embodies God's self-giving love and draws us into communion—with God and with others—especially through the Eucharist. Marriage is the primary place love is lived Spouses are each other's first neighbors. Loving one's spouse faithfully is the clearest expression of love of God and the path to holiness.   Resources: Pdf of encyclical:  https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20051225_deus-caritas-est.html Join the Cana90 Fellowship:  https://messyfamilyproject.org/programs/cana90/fellowship-form/

Today Fr. Mike reminds us that God created us out of love, for love. Fr. Mike also points out where the Catholic Church draws her doctrine on the difference between mortal and venial sin, as well as what St. Paul means when he teaches that there is only "one mediator" between God and man. Today's readings are 1 John 4-5, 1 Timothy 1-3, and Proverbs 30: 24-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Advent E4 — We're ending our short Advent series with a reflection on love. In the Hebrew Bible, the word “ahavah” involves faithfulness to God and living by his wisdom, but it also means showing practical care to others—especially the vulnerable. Jesus views this love for God and neighbor as the greatest command, and he expands it to be indiscriminate, radical kindness and generosity even toward our enemies. The New Testament authors were so blown away by this kind of love that they adopted an obscure Greek word for love, “agape,” and redefined it to be a self-giving, sacrificial love that Jesus demonstrates in his life, teaching, death, and resurrection. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the main biblical words for love, showing how the story of Advent characterizes agape as God's own essence and our calling. FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter notes including summaries, referenced Scriptures, biblical words, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Hebrew Bible's Understanding of Love (0:00–13:17)Agape and Jesus' Redefinition of Love (13:17–21:25)God Is Love (21:25–31:10)Reflections on Love With JoDee (31:10-36:12)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology by Nijay GuptaAhavah / Love: Though not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word ahavah.Agape / Love: Also not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word, agape.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Clouds ft. ahmo” by Lofi Sunday“Warm Hugs” by Lofi Sunday & Cassidy Godwin“Snowflakes” by AvesBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
