Episode 39: Love Bypasses Rebellion | Embrace Intimacy with the Father Who Calls You His Own | PGD

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2    Vicki hosts a discussion with Kendra about her new book, Learning to Love: Embrace Intimacy With the Father Who Calls You His Own, focusing on chapter five (“Love bypasses rebellion”) and chapter six (“the beloved cornerstone”).   They unpack Isaiah 11:1’s image of a “shoot” from Jesse as new, vibrant life that rises from what seemed cut down, pointing to Christ’s redemptive work and God’s love.    Kendra explains that reading Scripture through a harsh, legalistic lens misses God’s loving intent in warnings and correction, since sin leaves people vulnerable.   Turning to Isaiah 28:16, they discuss Jesus as the tested, precious cornerstone and sure foundation, using imagery of stone inspection and placement to show why no other “stone” can bear the weight.   They conclude that believers grounded in Christ should reflect God’s love in daily life through maturity and discipleship.   00:00 Welcome and Book Intro 00:29 Love Bypasses Rebellion 01:15 Isaiah Shoot Imagery 05:12 Genesis Lens on Love 05:44 Grace Over Legalism 08:32 Discernment and Betrayal 10:59 Beloved Cornerstone 16:11 Tested Stone Foundation 19:14 Living Stones in Society 23:16 Discipleship and Closing    Resources for Church Leaders People Growth Discipleship System: https://www.kendradublin.com/funnel Pathway to Patience: https://www.amazon.com/Pathway-Patience-Kendra-Dublin/dp/1304626768/   Resources for Individuals People Growth Discipleship Workbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYDPYVKD Pathway to Patience Book: https://www.amazon.com/Pathway-Patience-Kendra-Dublin/dp/1304626768/ Speak to Your Storm: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYPCKHJ9 God’s Perspective for Me® Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Perspective-Me-Kendra-Dublin/dp/153952616X God’s Perspective for Me® Volume 2: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Perspective-Me-Vol-2-ebook/dp/B079RFT4N7   Social Media/Website Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kendradublin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kendradublin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkendradublin/ https://www.kendradublin.com   Guest Opportunity and Contact Information Partnership Opportunities: [email protected] Calendar: https://calendly.com/kendra-dublin/interview   Links for audio podcast Podbean: https://pgdwithkendradublin.podbean.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0mYDEtftohwOplYeeUMAVe Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/people-growth-discipleship/id1745786230 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f9149c8b-b492-493e-ae69-809f16ecfc85 IHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/173776178 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/3572921
