What does it really mean to love God and how does that love change as we grow?
In this heartfelt conversation, we unpack how our relationship with God evolves through different seasons of life. From the striving, searching faith of our 20s to the deeper, more surrendered understanding that often comes in our 30s and beyond, we talk about what it looks like to love a God who has always loved us first.
We share how expectations from ourselves, from church culture, and from the world can sometimes distort our view of God’s love. We explore how loving Him is not about perfection, performance, or proving ourselves. It is about receiving His love without guilt and recognizing our divine worth.
This episode is a gentle reminder that God’s love is not conditional. It does not grow when we perform well or shrink when we struggle.
It is steady. Present. Constant.
We also talk about finding God in ordinary moments. In family life. In hard seasons. In quiet prayers. Creating a spiritual environment in our homes helps that love take root.
If you have ever felt like your faith is changing, deepening, or stretching in ways you did not expect, this conversation is for you. Loving God grows with us. And the beautiful truth is this. We were loved first.
