Click to watch - Click to view ManuscriptWe discover that love is God's tender affection for his people and steadfast commitment to our good; love is our pleasing response to God in praise and our reflection of his character in how we live. 

Few books make you stop and truly question everything you thought you knew about love. All About Love by bell hooks is one of them — and we knew from the moment we finished it that this had to be our next season read. Across eleven powerful chapters, hooks dismantles the everyday assumptions we carry about giving and receiving love, tracing them all the way back to how we first learned what love was supposed to look like in childhood. She challenges us to rethink self-love, not as something indulgent, but as the very foundation of peace and compassion in every area of our lives. From the personal to the political, from the intimate to the communal, hooks makes the case that love isn't just a feeling — it's a practice, and one that holds the power to heal wounds we've carried individually and collectively for far too long. This is a book about more than romance. It's about how we show up for each other, how we build communities, and how we begin to repair a world that often feels broken. We hope you enjoy this season.

Sermon Notes: The Perception of Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa  Main Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 14:1, Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12. I. The Purpose of the Church A Place for Healing: The church is meant for "offended" and "weak" people seeking God's help. Believers must be patient with one another's frailties. The Problem of Offense: Satan uses offense as leverage to break down churches. Leaving a church due to a personal hurt is often a sign of spiritual immaturity and selfishness. Spiritual Training: Being offended serves as a test to see how far your "love life" has actually developed. II. The Supernatural Power of Love (Agape) Faith's Engine: According to Galatians 5:6, faith is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. Without love, faith for miracles or breakthroughs will eventually shut down. Beyond Human Sentiment: While human love (Storge, Philia, Eros) is powerful, Agape is the "God-kind" of love that allows a believer to sacrifice for others and forgive even the deepest wrongs. Miracles through Love: Love has the power to cast out demons and bring healing where standard spiritual warfare might struggle. III. The Doctrine and Discipline of Forgiveness Unforgiveness as Poison: Holding onto a grudge is described as "drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". Blocked Prayers: Mark 11:25 teaches that before you pray for a mountain to move, you must first forgive anyone you have something against. No Conditional Forgiveness: Believers shouldn't wait for an apology to forgive. Forgiveness is a spiritual decision that reopens the door to God's favor. IV. Divine Protection and Long Life The "Eyes of the Lord": 1 Peter 3 promises that those who seek peace, avoid evil speech, and walk in love will enjoy divine protection and "good days". Escaping Satanic Traps: Walking in love keeps spiritual doors closed to the enemy. Bitterness often provides a foothold for demonic operations and physical sickness. V. Practical Application: How to Love Tenderheartedness: Replace hard-heartedness and stubbornness with a soft, easily entreated spirit. Courtesy and Respect: Love is evidenced in simple courtesy and how we treat those "below" us in social or spiritual status. Protecting Others: Love seeks to protect and cover the reputations of others rather than exposing their mistakes. Closing Challenge: Identify someone who has treated you unfairly and make the decision to bless them and pray for their welfare, thereby aligning your heart with the nature of God.

In the final message of This Is Love, we celebrate the heart of the Gospel through Matthew 28. The cross stands as the reminder of Jesus' sacrifice — the place where our sin was paid for and our debt was forgiven.But the story doesn't end there. The empty tomb declares victory. The stone wasn't rolled away so Jesus could get out, but so we could see in — to witness the freedom and new life available to all who believe. This message invites us to step into the reality that through Jesus, love has already won.

I'm not engaged!

This week in our series, This Is Love, we're reminded that the cross was never an accident — it was always the plan. Jesus didn't just allow the cross to happen to Him; He willingly stepped into it to fulfill what had been set in motion from the very beginning.From Passover to Abraham and Isaac, to the bronze serpent in the wilderness, Scripture points forward to this moment. The cross was more than a Roman instrument of death — it was God's plan of redemption. This message invites us to see the depth of His love and the intentional sacrifice that made a way for us to be saved.

Native American history is much more interesting than white european history. I blame the jet stream. Don't drink water from the lake. Plus more!

In week three of This Is Love, guest Pastor Jeremy Burroughs shares from John 4. Through Jesus' encounter at the well, we see a love that actively seeks us out, meets our deepest needs, and transforms our story.God's love not only finds and fulfills us — it fuels us to reach others. Sharing his own life-changing story, Pastor Jeremy reminds us that a simple invitation can open the door to someone encountering Jesus for the first time. With Easter approaching, this message challenges us to step out in faith, because one invite could make an eternal difference.

This week's episode covers it all. From loving like Jesus to tacos! On a serious note, episode 28 falls under the category of “Important Conversations” as Nina identifies the 5 levels of a love lifestyle. And she asks which level are you? If you're ready for some self-reflection this could be the realization you needed to get closer to living a lifestyle like Jesus. Plus, would you order from Taco Bell if they told you they had a sewage spill?

This week we step into John 5 and the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda. In this powerful encounter, Jesus demonstrates a love that sees beyond the surface and meets us right in the middle of our brokenness.This message reminds us that His healing love is deeply personal — refusing to leave us stuck in dysfunction and calling us into a transformed life. When Jesus heals, He doesn't just restore what was broken; He invites us to move forward into something new, never returning to the old way of living.

What is love, really? In this message from Song of Solomon, we look at the power of covenant love, why love should not be awakened before its time, and how real relationships are formed through commitment, community, healing, and the love of Jesus. This sermon is both honest and pastoral, reminding us that love is more than emotion; it is shaped by holiness, strengthened in suffering, and sustained by God. Whether you are single, dating, married, or healing from heartbreak, this message points to a deeper kind of love; one that is rooted in Christ and strong enough to endure.

In the opening message of our new series This Is Love, we look at the powerful moment when Jesus washes the disciples' feet. In a culture where this task was reserved for the lowest servant, Jesus chose to serve those who were still prideful, broken, and imperfect.This message reminds us that Jesus' love is not based on our worthiness. No matter how far we've wandered or how broken we may feel, He still calls us worthy of His love — and invites us to show that same humble, servant-hearted love to others.

Sacrificial Love—Love That Costs SomethingLoving Upward and OutwardYT: https://youtu.be/jlha74lpzroSpotify:

Love Month ends the only way it possibly could on Episode 449 of Friends Talking Nerdy—by dragging Love's chaotic cousin into the spotlight: Hate.Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd take a hard look at the emotional fuel that powers both love and hate. These aren't mild feelings. They're high-octane psychological states that flood your nervous system, sharpen your focus, and sometimes hijack your better judgment. When you're caught in hate, your brain isn't calmly evaluating evidence—it's protecting identity, tribe, ego. It feels righteous. It feels urgent. It feels necessary. And sometimes… it is.The episode explores how hateful emotions can be triggered, amplified, and weaponized. Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd unpack how modern media ecosystems thrive on outrage—how algorithms reward emotional intensity, how headlines are engineered to spike cortisol, and how we can end up furious about events that don't actually affect our day-to-day lives. Not all anger is manipulation, though. Sometimes anger is a signal that something unjust is happening. The key question becomes: are you responding to reality, or reacting to narrative?The conversation then turns toward history and politics—how leaders throughout time have used fear and hatred to consolidate power. When hate becomes identity, opponents stop being neighbors with different views and start becoming enemies. That shift narrows empathy and makes compromise feel like betrayal. The cost isn't just political. It's human.This episode doesn't preach. It dissects. It asks what hate does to the brain, to relationships, to society. It asks when anger is clarifying and when it's corrosive. And it challenges listeners to recognize when they're being emotionally steered.As Love Month closes, the energy doesn't fade—it transforms. Starting next week, the theme for March is History. Because if we're going to understand our present emotions, we'd better understand where they've been before.Songs of the Week:“The Harder They Come” – Jimmy Cliff“Break Stuff” – Limp BizkitEmotion is powerful.

Episode 447 of Friends Talking Nerdy continues the February theme of Love with a heartfelt and thoughtful conversation centered on Love for Animals. Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd explore the many ways humans form meaningful connections with animals, from beloved household pets to farm animals and even wildlife we may never touch but still deeply care about.In this episode, they share personal stories that highlight how animals can shape our lives, teach empathy, and offer companionship, purpose, and perspective. The discussion moves beyond affection alone and digs into what it actually means to love animals responsibly—understanding their needs, respecting their boundaries, and recognizing the differences between domesticated, farm, and wild animals. Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd also talk about ethical care, stewardship, and how love for animals can influence behavior, choices, and values in everyday life.Whether you're a lifelong pet owner, an animal advocate, or someone who simply appreciates the natural world, this episode offers insight into how love for animals reflects some of our best human qualities when practiced with intention, respect, and care.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

If you've been dating for a while and you're starting to feel tired, discouraged, or quietly wondering why this seems so much harder than it should be, you're not imagining things. Modern dating can wear people down, the endless swiping, first dates that go nowhere, the emotional energy it takes just to stay open and hopeful. Many of the people I work with start to doubt themselves, not because anything is wrong with them, but because the process itself is exhausting. In this episode, I'm joined by Tim Molnar, a dating coach and former sociology professor, to talk about dating burnout recovery and how to approach dating with more clarity, intention, and emotional steadiness. Instead of pushing harder or checking out completely, we explore how to date more thoughtfully,  in ways that protect your mental health and help you stay connected to yourself along the way. We talk about why modern dating mental health struggles are so common, how swipe culture and endless choice can distort decision-making, and why so many good people end up feeling depleted rather than excited. Tim shares a research-backed, intentional dating strategy that helps you make better decisions sooner, reduce emotional drain, and focus your energy where it actually matters. If you've been trying to date without losing yourself — your values, your peace of mind, or your sense of hope — this episode offers a calmer, more grounded way forward. As you listen, you might reflect on this question: What would change if dating felt less like a test of your worth and more like a process you could approach with intention and self-trust?

I'd love to invite you to schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my Growing Self team.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. This is simply an opportunity to feel understood, supported, and less alone as you find a calmer, more intentional way forward. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self Special thanks to this month's sponsors of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast: Shopify — The all-in-one platform for building and growing your online business.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

In Mark 12, Jesus was asked which of the ten commandments was most important. His reply surprised them:‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.”What is the first key phrase in this passage? The action verb Jesus began with? LOVE - Love the Lord … your God.We have to start with the very personal question: How much do I love God?How do we love God with all our hearts, souls, and minds with all of our strength? Jesus showed us a road map in this passage.There are four quadrants mapped out of our being that Jesus mentioned here: Heart, Soul, Mind, and strength.We start with getting present with God - just me and Him - getting still. It is the premise of what we do here every day. We do this by breathing and getting still.Notice the passage starts with internal, intimate things - not intellectual things like the mind. It begins with our heart and soul. The order to this is criticalWe start by paying attention to our heart - what is going on inside. Approaching God as a child with all our feelings, failures and desires and bringing it to Him.Then we focus on our Soul by getting still and allowing His presence to speak to our inner being - without words.Only then do we engage our mind by taking in what God is saying.Lastly, our strength, what we do with encountering God.These are the steps Jesus laid out to love him wholly.Listen again to Jesus words.‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.”Start, as Jesus said, with our heart -our feelings, then move to our soul - experiencing God in stillness caring for the deepest part of us, then move to feeding our minds by taking in what he is saying and then, and only then should we move forward in strength Knowing the source.What part of the four quadrants do you struggle to let be known by God? Heart, soul, mind, strength?These are all connected. Your heart matters—your soul matters. Your mind matters. What you do matters. But the order matters most.Can you allow God to love you today? Can you let him know more of you this next year?As you ruminate on those feelings, let's take some slow deep breaths once again.Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, thank You for taking all of the laws and simply telling us to love You with all we have, through a relationship with Jesus. Today, I seek Your balance. I give you my heart. My mind. My thoughts. My attitude. My spirit. My being. All that I have for all that You are. As above, so below.”

Christmas is all about God giving us the greatest gift of all - the GIFT of His love. But like all gifts, this gift has to be received. However, rather than receiving His love, we often run from it which is why we often wonder why we still haven't found what we are looking for.

Welcome to the final episode in Gospel Spice's series, "Identity in the Battle." Stephanie draws from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, with a primary focus on what it means to know and live out our identity in Christ, especially amidst spiritual warfare. This serves as a conclusion to the study on our identity in Christ and how that shapes our engagement in spiritual warfare.Ephesians: Tone & ContextStephanie emphasizes two critical ways to approach Ephesians:Mature Tone: Unlike Paul's other letters, Ephesians is deeply theological and not focused on addressing specific church problems. Instead, it equips believers for mature faith, acknowledging life's difficulties, but encouraging us by affirming that victory in Christ is already secured.Context: Paul writes from prison (likely AD 62), aware these may be his final words to the church in Ephesus. Despite his chains, he speaks with gentle affection, offering encouragement and a desire for continued connection.Four Pillars in Paul's Farewell (Ephesians 6:23–24)Paul concludes with four key blessings:Peace: A deep, abiding peace (shalom) from God.Faith: Assurance in the unseen, a call to trust God in uncertainty.Love: Love that unites the community.Grace: The foundation for all Christian living.Paul challenges us to let these words be the flavor of our own walk with Christ and to root ministry and relationships in love and grace.The Spiritual BattleEach believer has a choice—either to remain bystanders or to take up their place in the spiritual battlefield. Importantly:Jesus' love is not lessened by our reluctance, but we are invited to participate in battle for the sake of others, including addressing evils like human trafficking.The enemy (Satan) is not complacent, so we must not be either. Knowing the victory is won should lead not to laziness, but to courageous engagement.Our battle is never against people, but against evil and spiritual forces. With people, we are to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit—love, patience, kindness.Handling Conflict in the ChurchStephanie points out that disagreements among Christians are inevitable. The priority is always reconciliation, but when that's not possible, it's best to move aside while continuing to pray blessings over one another, remembering that we are all fighting the same spiritual war.Five Steps for Engaging in Spiritual WarfareBecome aware of the spiritual realm.Train up: Study scripture, pray, and fellowship.Stand firm: Hold your ground in Christ's strength.Resist the devil: Persevere with God's might, not your own.Train others: Help disciple and equip younger believers.True Identity in ChristThe reality of our identity is found in the fullness of Christ. Everything—our calling, purpose, and ability to overcome—flows from knowing who God is, what He has done, who we are in Him, and what we are called to do.We are the inheritors of a deep legacy of spiritual riches and calling. So, root your life in the peace, faith, love, and grace found in Christ, remember your true identity, and take your place in the spiritual battle with courage.As the series ends, Gospel Spice invites everyone to "taste and see that the Lord is good," step boldly into battle, and empower others to do the same.Reflection/Response:-          How do Paul's final words in Ephesians inspire you to engage the spiritual battles you face today?-          What does it look like for you to stand firm in your identity in ChristEnjoying these reflection questions?

We want a warm, welcoming atmosphere to journey ever deeper into the heart of God. We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing.  Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need your help.  So we would love for you to consider if this ministry is blessing you to pay gospel spice forward. You can partner with us monthly with $10 or $25 a month, by example, or you can make one donation, once.And because we are a register nonprofit organization in the United States under the status of a 501c3 charity, it means that the amount that you pay to gospel spice is fully tax deductible. Completely tax deductible. So you're even saving money as you invest in gospel spice ministries. It is an eternal investment, and we are very grateful to you for it.Now it's very important to us that we give back as much as possible from what you give us. And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.  So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking.So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward ?Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice.
