Think back to the last wedding you attended. Do you remember witnessing the bride walking down the aisle to meet her groom? This is a moment filled with promises of love that will be tested throughout their lives.
In this episode of As In Heaven, we dive into the heart of the greatest kingdom principle: love.
How can we live out true love, the kind that Jesus modeled, in a world where love is often distorted? How do we avoid becoming known for what we are against rather than who we love?
This episode wrestles with the disconnect many Christians face: while we are called to be known by our love, society often sees us as defined by judgment.
How can we reclaim the heart of the gospel and demonstrate authentic, Christ-like love?
