Loving others isn't always easy. In fact, some days it feels impossible. Whether we've been hurt, disappointed, misunderstood, or betrayed, our natural response is often to protect ourselves. But Jesus calls us to something far greater to love as He loved us.

In this episode of we explore what it truly means to love like Christ. Loving others requires surrendering our pride, denying our flesh, extending grace when it's undeserved, and depending on the strength of Christ instead of our own. We simply cannot love the way Jesus loves apart from Him.

Why does God love us? Is it because we’ve been good enough, worthy enough, or done all the right things to earn His love? In this episode of Dear Christian Women, we explore a truth that changes everything: God’s love is not something we achieve, it flows from who He is.

Because God is love, His love isn’t based on performance, perfection, or proving ourselves. Through Jesus, we see the fullness of that love a love that gave, sacrificed, and made a way for us before we could ever earn it. This conversation invites us to...
