In this episode, I’m not just talking about love — I’m talking about why real love is a high-risk, high-reward endeavor. We’re not sugarcoating it. Love, when it's genuine, puts you out there. It demands courage, vulnerability, and the willingness to be misunderstood, rejected, or even hurt. That’s why so many people back away from it, settle for less, or hide behind excuses like “righteousness” or “truth.” But I’m telling you — love is the truth.
You’ll hear stories from real-life tragedy where love became the last thing spoken — in the floods of Texas, the tornado in Joplin, and even the final moments aboard 9/11 flights. We'll explore why those words, “I love you,” rise to the surface when everything else is stripped away. I also pull in wisdom from Thomas Merton and Maya Angelou to help us confront how love must adapt and thrive in today’s complicated world.
This isn’t some soft, sentimental ideal. This is brave love — love that climbs mountains, runs marathons, and faces rejection without folding. I’ll also lead you in The Lord’s Prayer and Love’s Creed — because that’s our grounding.
If you’ve ever struggled with how to love in a world that often makes it dangerous or costly, this one’s for you.
