What does it really mean to love like Jesus Christ when life feels overwhelming, busy, and inconvenient? In this AnchorPoint episode, we dive into a powerful and deeply relatable question: “Am I too busy to love like Christ?” Drawing from teachings connected to Joseph Smith and the Savior’s example, this conversation explores how true discipleship is less about checking boxes of service and more about allowing our hearts to be changed through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
If you’ve ever struggled to feel joy in serving others, questioned your willingness to show up, or felt frustrated that Christlike love doesn’t come naturally—this message is for you. We talk openly about real-life moments of failure, spiritual prompting, and the quiet invitation to shift from “What do I get out of this?” to “How can I truly love this person?” Through honest stories and gospel-centered reflection, you’ll see how the Lord works with willing hearts, not perfect ones.
This episode will help you understand how to access the power of Jesus Christ to soften your heart, increase your capacity to love, and align your priorities with eternal truth—even in the middle of everyday life.
