Receiving the Love of GodThis episode is inspired by a paper I wrote as part of a Spiritual Theology course I took in college. It is entitled, "Receiving the Love of God in A Feminine Spirit: A Call for All." Don't be fooled by the "feminine" reference; this video is just as much for men as it is for women! My hope is that it will help every viewer/listener to learn what it truly means to be human...which is to be created BY love, WITH love, FOR love.
