Ep 328: Loving them to death with Cortney Donelson

In this important conversation, I sit down with Cortney Donelson, author of Loving Them to Death, to talk about one of the most emotionally charged issues in our culture: love. What if the way culture defines love isn't actually loving? What if affirmation without truth is doing more harm than good? We unpack how "love" has been redefined to mean unconditional approval, why that definition falls short of the biblical standard, and how Christians are often pressured to compromise truth in order to appear compassionate. Cortney shares why untethering love from God's design doesn't rescue people — it enables destruction. We also discuss what it really looks like to love people well: speaking truth with courage, refusing emotional manipulation, and anchoring our compassion in the character of Christ. If you've ever been told you're unloving for holding to Scripture, this episode will equip you to think clearly and respond biblically.   Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: [email protected] Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop
