Conditional Love VS. Unconditional Love

Did you know God's grace was His plan from the beginning? Join Rick McFarland as he explores how grace and faith work together to fulfill God's eternal purpose.

In this moving episode of The Radio Medium Laura Lee Show, Laura Lee connects with Rand from Northeast Ohio for a powerful spirit reading centered on unconditional love, animal soul connections, and healing after loss. Spirit immediately presents symbolic imagery tied to the Egyptian god Anubis, the guardian of the afterlife — a meaningful sign confirmed by Rand's beloved dog, who was named in honor of this ancient guide. As the reading unfolds, multiple dogs from Rand's lifetime step forward alongside his parents in spirit, revealing how deeply bonded animals remain with us beyond physical life. One dog, in particular, offers reassurance by describing familiar routines — resting beside Rand, taking daily walks, and the deep sense of rescue they shared. Spirit brings peace surrounding this dog's sudden passing, emphasizing that nothing was done wrong and that love, safety, and comfort defined his final years. Guidance is also offered about continuing daily walks and welcoming another dog into Rand's life — a sign that healing, movement, and companionship remain essential for mind, body, and soul. This episode offers comfort to anyone grieving a beloved pet, reminding listeners that animal companions never truly leave us.

Unconditional love during Christmas Time

Why is understanding grace essential? Dive into the vital distinction between faith as our response to God's unmerited favor and the perils of performance-based religion.

The Unconditional Love of God in ChristJohn 3:16-17The Village Chapel - 12/21/2025Beyond the familiar traditions and celebrations of Christmas lies something far deeper—a truth that sees and meets our deepest yearnings and longings, heals our brokenness, and speaks grace into our sin. Join us as Pastor Matt walks us through three passages of Scripture that reveal the heart of Christmas: the unconditional love of God made known to us in Jesus Christ, and hear how it is the driving force behind the real meaning of Christmas and the Advent season.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

In this powerful message from Pastor Karl, we journey beyond the manger to discover the timeless roots of Christmas in the Garden of Eden. Christmas is far more than a seasonal vibe—it's the profound story of God's unchanging love, revealed through proximity, provision, and loving parameters.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl shows how God has always pursued us: walking closely with humanity, generously providing what we cannot obtain ourselves, and setting protective boundaries for our good. Yet, from the beginning, humanity has often rejected this love, doubting God's goodness and choosing our own way.The heart of the gospel shines through as Pastor Karl reminds us that even in our rejection, God's love pursues and covers us—first promised in Genesis with the crushing of the serpent's head through the seed of the woman, and perfectly fulfilled in the incarnation of Jesus, Emmanuel, "God with us."This message challenges us: Will we embrace not just the warmth of Christmas, but the weighty claims of Christmas—God's call to love Him fully with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength through belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving generously, and going on mission?A stirring reminder that God's everlasting love didn't begin in Bethlehem—it was set in motion from the very beginning, for you and me.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

At the heart of Christmas lies one of the most profound spiritual truths we can grasp: the redemptive arc of God's love. When we examine classic Christmas stories like A Christmas Carol, The Grinch, and even Die Hard, we discover they all share a common thread—redemption through humility and transformation. But these stories are merely echoes of the greatest redemptive arc ever told: the gospel itself. From the Garden of Eden where heaven and earth overlapped, through humanity's prideful fall and exile, to God's passionate pursuit of us through Jesus Christ, and finally to the promised renewal of all things—this is the story that defines our existence. Philippians 2:5-11, often called the Christ Hymn, captures this divine descent with breathtaking clarity. Jesus, existing in the very form of God, didn't grasp at His divine privileges or exploit His equality with the Father. Instead, He emptied Himself, took on the form of a servant, and humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross. This wasn't weakness—it was the ultimate demonstration of love. Where Adam grasped for equality with God and fell, Jesus released His divine prerogatives and descended in love. The call for us is revolutionary: adopt this same mindset. True love doesn't ascend in pride like climbing Mount Crumpit; it descends in humility to serve others. We're invited to willingly disadvantage ourselves, to let go of our rights and recognition, to die to self daily—not out of fear, but out of gratitude for how far Jesus descended to reach us. And here's the beautiful mystery: as we descend in love, we experience an inexplicable lift in our spirits, a unity with Christ that brings joy even in sacrifice. The exaltation we receive isn't achieved through climbing; it's received through surrendering.ChaptersChapter 1: The Redemptive Arc in Christmas Stories0:00 - 7:00Classic Christmas movies like A Christmas Carol, The Grinch, and Die Hard all share a common theme of redemption through a change of heart, mirroring the gospel story.Chapter 2: The Christ Hymn: Jesus Descends in Love7:00 - 15:00Philippians 2:5-11 reveals Jesus's mindset as He descended from heaven's glory to become human and die on the cross, demonstrating God's unconditional love.Chapter 3: Adopting the Mind of Christ15:00 - 22:00We are called to adopt Christ's mindset of descending in love, willingly disadvantaging ourselves to serve others rather than seeking our own glory and advancement.Chapter 4: Exaltation Through Humility22:00 - 28:00Because Jesus descended in love, God highly exalted Him, and we worship Him not out of fear but in awe of His love, experiencing true lift as we follow His example.Keywords#Redemption#ChristmasMessage#Philippians2#ChristHymn#IncarnationOfChrist#HumilityOfChrist#AgapeLove#UnconditionalLove#DivineDescension#ServantLeadership#CrossOfChrist#Exaltation#AdoptTheMindOfChrist#DyingToSelf#GodsLove#Salvation#RedemptiveArc#TakingUpYourCross#Emmanuel#JesusIsLord#GloryToGod#ChristianHumility#Advent#WordBecameFlesh#Repentance

In this solo episode, I explore unconditional love as a living, breathing practice, one that asks us to recognise the divinity within ourselves and in everyone we meet. Unconditional love is not a destination, but a journey of gently clearing the layers that obscure our true nature: identification with thoughts, emotions, opinions, judgements, control, and the need for others or life to be different.Through conscious presence and compassion, we begin to meet life exactly as it is, without expectation.Reactivity becomes a guide rather than a problem, pointing us toward the places within that are asking for more love, breath, and understanding. As we learn to soften resistance and respond with awareness, love naturally deepens and expands.This episode also explores an important truth: unconditional love does not mean tolerating harmful behaviour. Sometimes, the most loving act is to set clear boundaries or to step away from a person or situation. We are all a work in progress, and this practice is ongoing, a moment-to-moment invitation to breathe, let go, and return to love.

We talk about "Unconditional Love" in our 50th epsiode!

Dating, relationships, self-love, accountability, manipulation, phone checking, friends with benefits, healing, masculinity, femininity, marriage, unconditional love, spiritual dreams, toxic love, protection.Tonight the crew debates whether we're raised to be great partners or forced to learn on the job. From “self-love won't keep a man” to “checking phones is healthy,” the conversation gets raw: masculinity vs. peace, toxic attraction to “protection,” spiritual dreams catching cheaters, FWB rules, and whether women/men actually want accountability.

In this episode, Wendy Newton and I talk about the value of unconditional love, including what it is, what it isn't and how to practice and experience it.Please support Peter's Podcast on Patreon.Peter & Wendy will be workshopping these ideas at a daylong retreat in Sedona Arizona this February. Stay tuned for more details or see linktr.ee/peterferko. You can take classes or training with Peter or Wendy at ISHTA Yoga (in person or on line).

Grace isn't about what you have to do; it's about what God has already done for you! Andrew reveals how understanding the balance of grace and faith can empower your Christian walk and transform your view of God's love and acceptance.

Send us a textAsher is a spiritual entrepreneur, human connection coach and Rabbi in Southern California. His story began at home as a young child where all seemed well from the outside. As the youngest by nine years, he felt a horrible sense of abandonment. His loneliness was compounded by his father's prominence as a rabbi and community leader where the pressure to appear as role models was insufferable. This resulted in a childhood eating disorder and drug use by age 14.Asher was 33 when he lost his multi-million-dollar business, with the resulting bankruptcy destroying what little self-worth he had as a provider to his family – he had hit rock-bottom. Asher found his road to recovery through the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, where despite the circle of anonymous faces, it was truly the first time in his life he felt the power of shared human connection through service to self and others.The experience marked the debut of an odyssey of self-discovery, trading ego for vulnerability, and leaving the pursuit of pleasure for the pursuit of meaning. Asher decidedly dedicated the rest of his career to helping others help themselves “restore wholeness” in their lives.Armed with a renewed sense of self, profound life experience, and entrepreneurial passion, Asher founded Transcend in 2008, building an internationally recognized recovery community. Now sober twelve years and counting, Asher has counseled hundreds of men and women and built a renowned reputation where he is recognized by his three hallmark pillars of recovery; Accountability, Community, Unconditional Love.https://a.co/d/gbVDgp9http://Ashergottesman.comhttps://www.instagram.com/theasherg?igsh=bjhpMW50OWYyeWh3-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://wig-guru.com - Use Code 'Brainstorm' For 10% Offhttps://ourvillageny.org-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more Brainstorm go to...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aPCiuzsIoNKYt5jjv7RFT?si=67dfa56d4e764ee0Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brainstorm-with-sony-perlman/id1596925257Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@brainstormwithsonyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brainstormwithsony

It's not that the medicines did it, it's that we rewrote our own stories. We are the medicine when we use psychedelics and entheogens. They don't bring back people we've lost, they don't change the past, they bring it close where we can look at it, discover it, understand it, and decide how to make more of our present. That's why psychedelics are catalysts and not cures.” –Matt ZeemonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are you trying to set teen boundaries without your child calling you “controlling” or “the worst parent ever”?If you want your teen to live by high standards—around tech, food, friends, habits, and lifestyle—you can't just make it your standard and enforce it. It has to become their standard. In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down exactly how they helped their own teens buy in so deeply that they now say things like, “I'm not putting that garbage in my body,” or “I don't waste my life on that.”Instead of rules and power struggles, they show you how to prioritize relationship over rules, lean on unconditional love, and teach the laws that govern health, happiness, success, and addiction—so your kids see for themselves where certain choices lead. When teens understand the why behind your standards, they stop feeling controlled and start choosing those standards for themselves.You'll also hear how the Dennings have intentionally made real life more compelling than video games or junk food—often inviting friends along for the ride—so the “different” lifestyle isn't a punishment, it's an upgrade.If you've ever wondered, “How do I hold the line without wrecking the relationship?” this conversation will give you a new framework: less control, more conviction—and a family standard that everyone owns.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.This time on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Gil Fronsdal explores:Seeing the timeless present through photographs Enjoying the preciousness of our limited time here on earth How corporate, capitalist America prefers people who are discontentWhat the Buddha said about the vital importance of contentment How many desires often dissipate on their own if you ride them outThe ways in which desire alienates us from ourselves The embodied quality of contentment and being in touch with ourselvesFreedom in the Buddhist sense: freedom ‘from' rather than freedom ‘to do'Cultivating contentment by valuing it and seeing it as an important part of lifeActivities which encourage contentment versus remaining franticFacing discontentment head-on so that it does not drive us This recording was originally published on Dharmaseed. “Contentment is a falling away of anxiety, restlessness, reaching forward, fear, being fragmented, and disconnected. It is a kind of settling. If we're driven by desires, fears, preoccupations, or fantasies, often our energy, our center of attention, is upwelling in an unhealthy way. As we are contented, we feel the settling down, settling down into the center of gravity.” –Gil Fronsdal About Gil Fronsdal:Gil Fronsdal is the co-teacher for the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California; he has been teaching since 1990. He has practiced Zen and Vipassana in the U.S. and Asia since 1975. He was a Theravada monk in Burma in 1985, and in 1989 began training with Jack Kornfield to be a Vipassana teacher.
