Podcasts about Real Love

This week on the Other Six Podcast, we explore 1 John 3 and the difference between sentimental love and sacrificial love. John shows us that God's perfect love is revealed not through flawless Christians, but through an imperfect family actively loving one another. We talk about how Cain-like resentment can quietly creep into church life, why love is not optional for those who've passed from death to life, and what it really means to love “in deed and truth.” If believing in Jesus and loving His people are one command, then abiding in Christ means more than visiting — it means committing to costly, everyday love that makes the invisible God visible.

Morgan is joined by professional matchmaker Alessandra Conti for an honest, behind-the-scenes look at modern dating. From screening clients and asking tough compatibility questions to spotting anxious-avoidant dynamics in real time, she explains what actually makes a match last, and what quietly causes relationships to fail. They unpack why so many people feel like their city is the worst place to date, how burnout and “city fatigue” impact our mindset, and why boundaries, attachment styles, and shared values matter more than surface-level traits. They also talk about the scarcity trap, the abundance mindset, and how to date intentionally without losing yourself in the process.

Real Love in an Evil World (Romans 12:9-21)What does real love look like in a world filled with division, hostility, and hurt? In this message from Romans 12:9–21, we explore the kind of love the Apostle Paul calls us to—a love that is sincere, courageous, and rooted in Christ.This passage challenges us to reject hypocrisy, cling to what is good, bless those who persecute us, and overcome evil with good. Far from being passive or weak, biblical love is resilient, sacrificial, and transformative. It reflects the heart of Jesus and stands in stark contrast to the patterns of this world.Join us as we discover how to live out real love in everyday relationships—within the church, in our homes, and even toward our enemies.

Can technology truly help us become better at love, or is it making things more transactional and detached?  In Episode 433 of The Charisma Quotient, "AI and Dating After 40: Can Technology Help You Find Real Love with Joel Comm," Kimmy dives deep with guest Joel Comm—New York Times bestselling author, digital innovation expert, and host of "AI for Everyone"—to explore these questions and more.    Kimmy and Joel reminisce about real-world connections and the role technology has played in their own journeys—including their hilarious story of reconnecting after years apart thanks to both Facebook glitches and human intuition. Together, they break down how AI is currently being used in dating, from chatbots writing flirty texts to platforms predicting our perfect matches. They discuss the benefits—like better safety, more precise matches, and support for those re-entering the dating pool—as well as serious drawbacks, such as overthinking, decision fatigue, and the loss of authentic connection and in-person chemistry.  Listen at the end where AI actually created a song for this episode!

Send a textIn this episode, Pastor Ed teaches us about the unconditional love of God. John 3:1616 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.Romans 5:88 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.Galatians 5:22-2322 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.1 Corinthians 13:1-71 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Mark 12:29-3129 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.”Ephesians 2:4-54 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),Proverbs 3:3-43 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.Romans 8:38-3938 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In the world of love and artificial intelligence where is the real love? From Valentines Day to woman robots what's really going on? As the saying goes technology is a great tool but a terrible master. Let's talk about it.

With skyrocketing loneliness among young people, platforms like OnlyFans are emerging as a seductive alternative to traditional relationships, offering instant gratification without the emotional risks of real intimacy. Harvard professor and social commentator Arthur Brooks explores this trend in his piece for The Free Press, arguing that many young adults are opting for paid, parasocial connections—such as subscriptions to adult content creators—over the vulnerability and effort required for genuine love. Brooks links this shift to a broader epidemic of isolation, where digital substitutes fill the void left by declining face-to-face bonds, cultural changes that deprioritize commitment, and the allure of low-stakes fantasy in a world that feels increasingly disconnected.The scale of this phenomenon is staggering. According to recent 2025 data compiled by OnlyGuider and reported across outlets like Vice, The Hill, and others, Americans collectively spent $2.63 billion on OnlyFans in a single year. California led the nation by a wide margin, with residents shelling out over $350.6 million—accounting for roughly 13% of all U.S. spending on the platform. This figure is so massive that it exceeds what the average Californian would earn in 3,000 years based on median household income levels. This paid ecosystem extends beyond passive subscriptions into experiential services that blur lines between fantasy, coaching, and companionship. For instance, OnlyFans star and social media personality Annie Knight has capitalized on the trend by charging fans  $1,700 for a one-hour "date" or $10,000 for a full 10-hour day out together. She frames it as a confidence-building service for men struggling with dating: providing real-time feedback, tips on communication, and guidance to help them improve their skills in approaching and connecting with women. Knight, who is engaged and views this as "giving back" to supporters, taps into the same insecurities Brooks identifies—fear of rejection, lack of practice in real-world intimacy, and the appeal of a safe, transactional way to simulate romantic progress.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcastsThis episode is sponsored by FirmTech—performance rings built for comfort, control, and confidence.Head to myfirmtech.com and use code KING for 15% off.

A Real Love - Part 2 // Pastor Jeremiah Andrews by Central Baptist Church

In 1 John 3, we continue the conversation about realness—because real love isn't a knockoff. John teaches that true followers of Jesus can't help but love, and that love has to be more than smiles and Sunday talk: it starts in the heart, shows up in action, and stays sincere. From Cain's hidden hatred to the call to “love in deed and in truth,” this message challenges us to reject gossip, meet needs, and choose love freely—because the way we love each other is one of the clearest marks of Christ in us.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)

Everybody wants love, but few of us truly understand what it costs. In this message, we unpack the difference between real love and infatuation, and why healing, self-awareness, and surrender are required to experience it the way God intended.

Season #5, Episode #6: Situationships, Love Languages & God's Design for Real Love: In this episode of Primetime Gamechangers, we're taking Valentine's Day head-on. We confront the modern confusion around love, dating, and relationships—and bring the conversation back to God's original design. From the rise of situationships and hookup culture to the staggering amounts of money spent on Valentine's Day, we unpack why culture keeps confusing lust with love and feelings with covenant. This discussion challenges listeners to examine the intentions behind their relationships, spending, and emotional investments, while addressing the role pride, self-centeredness, and misplaced priorities play in relational breakdown. We explore the importance of prayer, sacrifice, accountability, and understanding how love is meant to be both given and received. If you're tired of shallow connections, relational cycles that lead nowhere, or cultural definitions that leave you empty, this episode will help you reset your foundation, realign your heart, and pursue relationships rooted in truth, commitment, and lasting purpose.

This week Joey continues our series "Real Love" with the second sermon titled "The Power of Proximity."

John challenges us to trade fake, surface-level faith for real love—the kind Jesus showed at the cross. In 1 John, love is proven, not just professed: if we love God, we keep His commands, walk in the light, confess sin, and deny self. The question is simple and searching: God really loves you… but do you really love Him back?

This week Trent kicks off week 1 of our series titled "Real Love" with a sermon on "Dating Lovingly."

Tenderoni Hotline #18: Hello my love, and welcome back to the Tender Hotline, the soft and spacious corner of the Feminist Wellness Podcast where we explore your most intimate and layered questions about healing, nervous system care, and reclaiming your self-trust. In this episode, we're diving into three powerful questions that so many emotionally outsourced folks grapple with: Do I have to fully love myself before I'm ready for real love? How do I know if I'm truly healing or just coping while everything stays the same? And is focusing on myself while the world feels like it's falling apart actually selfish? Together, we unpack the myth that healing has to happen in isolation. You'll hear why real love isn't reserved for the “fully healed,” and how our capacity for connection grows not in perfection, but in proximity and presence. We also explore how nervous system regulation can sometimes turn into a strategy for tolerating the intolerable, and how to shift from performative calm to embodied clarity and action. We talk about how emotional outsourcing, or looking to others for your sense of safety, belonging, and worth, distorts love and keeps you stuck in survival mode. And we name the ways that focusing on your own healing and self-connection is not selfish, but a radical act of reclamation that serves both you and the collective. So my love, go ahead and grab your softest blanket, pour something warm and grounding, and settle in. I'm so glad you're here. Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?
