It's when you overcome yourself and you arrive at your goal, you reach your dream, you never give up on yourself, you had hard moments, you fell to your knees, you brushed yourself up, you got up, you showed up again for yourself." - Dr. Joe DispenzaDrawing from both scientific understanding and spiritual wisdom, Dr. Joe Dispenza illuminates the crucial distinction between pleasure and authentic love. He explains how true love emerges from the process of overcoming personal challenges and showing up for yourself consistently, leading to a profound sense of worthiness. Through his observations at week-long events, he witnesses remarkable transformations as people transcend their past traumas, limitations, and beliefs to connect with something greater than themselves.Diving into the biology of connection, Dr. Dispenza reveals how love creates powerful bonds through brain chemistry, particularly through oxytocin release. He shares groundbreaking research showing oxytocin levels 200 times above normal in his work, demonstrating how humans can achieve extraordinary states of love and connection. His unique perspective encourages falling in love with your future self while developing a profound relationship with source consciousness, creating an electric rather than merely chemical experience of love that transforms all aspects of life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Last time we were together we covered a good portion of chapter twelve, and we were encouraged to be a healthy body of believers. Right on the heels of that admonition, the apostle Paul goes on to speak about loving without hypocrisy, and abhorring what is evil.

Weekend sermon experience at Westover Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas.
When her young son mysteriously made it home alone from school with the help of a "man in a red hat," one mother was understandably terrified. But the tale took a surreal turn when her son pointed to an old family photo and recognized the helper: his late grandfather. As memories and chills flooded back, the family began to realize this was no ordinary escort. Grandpa's favorite red hat and sunglasses were buried with him, yet here he was, keeping his grandson safe. Could it be a loving spirit watching over, or was it something beyond even a mother's imagination? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

When Wendy Rickard's husband fell into a utility area, dropping twenty feet on his head, she began to question God. He survived, but his brain injury meant her family lost the father and husband they depended on for everything. Their family of four imploded. Wendy wondered what God's purpose was in this heartache, if He would take care of their future and if their lives would ever be the same again. God's answers were not immediate, and quite frankly, rather slow. But He did answer her questions in His own way and in His own timing. Today Wendy can tell the story of both her husband and their family's healing and she's sharing that story in this episode. If you've been through a life-altering experience, Wendy wants you to know that no matter what you are facing, God can bring hope and healing to you as well.

Gospel forgiveness is available to all.
This week Justin Rife unpacked the Parable of the Prodigal Son, revealing a powerful picture of reconciliation and community. Both sons-one who squandered his inheritance and the other who tried to earn the father's love-were declared beloved sons by the father. God's heart is for reconciliation and unity, and as believers that should be reflected in our own lives. We are called to be a Christ-centered community, moving beyond division and actively extending the love and kindness of Christ to those around us. Now is the time to step into the ministry of reconciliation and make an impact.

“God has been so good to us! I want to thank Him for our anniversary.” Terry’s voice was steady, and the tears in her eye showed her sincerity. Those in our small group were deeply moved. We knew what past years had held for Terry and her husband. Though a believer, Robert suffered from the sudden onset of severe mental illness and had taken the life of their four-year-old daughter. He would be institutionalized for decades, but Terry visited him, and God did a beautiful healing work, helping her forgive. Despite profound heartache, their love for each other grew. Love and forgiveness like that could only come from one source. David writes about God this way, “He does not treat us as our sins deserve . . . . As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:10, 12). The mercy God shows us comes through His expansive love: “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love” for us (v. 11). Love so profound compelled Him to go to the depths of the cross and grave to take away our sins so that He could bring all who “receive Him” (John 1:12) home to Himself. Terry was right. “God has been so good to us!” His love and forgiveness reach beyond unthinkable boundaries and offer us life that never ends.

Ress and Nique discuss the concept of emotional permanence, comparing it to object permanence in child development. They explore how emotional permanence: the ability to trust that others care for you, even when are they are not there constantly validating it. The question is , do I struggle to believe the love is there unless the person is right there constantly validating it for me? Do I spiral into anxious behavior to quench my thirst for validation? By reflecting on childhood experiences, they highlight the significance of things like emotional regulation. The duo emphasizes the role of self-care, therapy, and mindfulness in nurturing one's emotional health and fostering secure relationships. Through a blend of humor and insight, they underscore the journey toward personal growth, self-compassion, and emotional stability.

In the sixth episode of "Love Beyond Measure," Duane teaches the Holy Spirit has a crucial role in helping us understand and experience God's love. According to Romans 5:5 (ESV), "The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."). We cannot discern God's love through our circumstances, feelings, or human reasoning. Instead, the Holy Spirit reveals and sheds light on the depth of God's love for us. The Holy Spirit helps us understand the profound love demonstrated through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, where He took the punishment for our sins upon Himself. 2 Corinthians 5:21 states, "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (ESV). Through Christ's death, we are made righteous in God's sight, not by our efforts but by His love and grace. God's love is not dependent on our performance or worthiness. This incredible act of love demonstrates God's unwavering commitment to reconciling us to Himself, regardless of our condition.The Holy Spirit is vital in helping us grasp the immensity of God's love and apply it to our lives. As we yield to the Spirit's guidance and allow Him to reveal the truth of God's love, our faith is strengthened, and we experience the transformative power of His grace.
In the fifth episode of "Love Beyond Measure," Duane teaches about the profound depths of God's love and its essential attributes, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. These sixteen characteristics are not just guidelines for believers to follow but also a reflection of God's very nature, for "God is love" (1 John 4:8).This love is not dependent on performance but on God's unchanging character. It is a love that bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things, never failing (1 Corinthians 13:7-8). It's important to meditate on these attributes as a revelation of how God loves us unconditionally. God loves His children with the same love He has for His Son, Jesus (John 17:23).By truly knowing and believing in God's love, believers can experience wholeness, develop a healthy self-love, and extend that same love to others around them. God's love is immeasurable, unconditional, and unchanging. It's this love that empowers believers to live abundantly and love others as God has loved them.
In the fourth episode of "Love Beyond Measure," Duane explores the unfathomable depth of God's love for us, demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross. 1 John 4:9-10 states, "In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." God's love is not based on our circumstances or conduct but on His unchanging character and nature. Love is an inherent attribute of who God is, and He loves us unconditionally, regardless of our failures or shortcomings. God's love was displayed in the most profound way when Jesus, the sinless Son of God, took upon Himself the punishment for our sins on the cross, becoming the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our transgressions. Through the cross, God's love was made manifest, providing a way for us to be forgiven, redeemed, and reconciled to Him. When we truly understand and embrace this love, it casts out fear and gives us boldness, even in the face of judgment or rejection from the world.
In the third episode of "Love Beyond Measure," Duane teaches about the depth of God's love by emphasizing the importance of truly understanding God's love beyond mere intellectual knowledge. According to 1 John 4:7-8, there are three fundamental truths about God's love:1. Love originates from God, not from the world or our human nature. True love is a divine attribute from God and cannot be fully understood or defined by the world.2. To truly love, one must be born of God and have an intimate knowledge of Him. The term "know" in the Bible refers to a deep, personal relationship, similar to the intimacy between a husband and wife. Therefore, we need a close personal relationship with God to experience and express His love.3. God is love. Love is not just something God possesses; it is His essential nature. God's love for us is limitless, immeasurable, and unchanging, regardless of our actions or circumstances.Duane emphasizes that many believers struggle to fully grasp God's love because they rely on the world's distorted understanding or measure God's love based on their performance. Ephesians 3:17-19 reveals that by being deeply rooted and grounded in God's love, we can comprehend its vastness and experience it fully. Growing in a deep revelation of God's love will provide a firm foundation during trials and enable us to love others.
In the second episode of "Love Beyond Measure," Duane teaches the importance of knowing God's love for us and how the Holy Spirit primarily reveals this love. There are four foundational truths from 1 John 4:7-9 about God's love:1. Love is of God, not of this world or our flesh (v. 7).2. To love with God's love, one must be born of God and know God (v. 7).3. God is love; it is His nature and character (v. 8).4. God's love was manifested by sending His Son, Jesus, to be the propitiation (satisfactory sacrifice) for our sins (v. 9).Duane shares his powerful testimony of having an open vision of the cross, where he saw himself in Christ, crucified with Him, buried, and raised to new life. This revelation of the cross showed him God's unconditional, unmerited love, satisfying God's righteous judgment against sin through Christ's sacrifice, and his faith exploded.Not everyone has such a dramatic experience, but the Holy Spirit can reveal the same truth through the Word of God (Romans 5:8, 1 John 3:16). The cross is the primary way we know God's love, as He demonstrated His love by sending His Son to die for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8).
