So often we hear Christians talking about love, love, love. It’s meant well, but is it love without discernment or boundaries? And is that really love at all?
In this episode, Michelle explores the concept of love within the Christian faith, questioning whether love can go too far and exploring how love can and should look different in different situations.
Through biblical references and contemporary examples, she discusses the importance of balanced love that is not merely sacrificial and accepting but also discerning and truthful. Critiquing certain topical societal and cultural practices affecting the country, the Church and the Christian faith such as women and immigration, she argues that misguided interpretations of love can lead to harm and deviations from Christian values.
Michelle urges listeners to seek wisdom and discernment in their expressions of love, ensuring they align with God's true definition that never corrupts or causes damage, but always redeems.
