Episode 48: Gospel-Centered Forgiveness | Embrace Intimacy with the Father Who Calls You His Own | PGD

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2    Learning to Love: Discipleship, Rebellion, and the Hard Work of Real Love   In this episode of the “Learning to Love” conversation, the host interviews Kendra M. Dublin about what discipling believers has taught her about love beyond studying Scripture, using 1 Corinthians 13 to explain how patience, kindness, and perseverance become real when walking with people through immaturity, setbacks, and conflict.   They discuss how lived experience turns biblical truth from theory into embodied practice, especially when disciples want to quit or resist correction.   The conversation then explores Kendra’s chapter on how God “bypasses rebellion” in His pursuit of humanity and how legalism can cause Christians to respond with judgment rather than love, prayer, and warning.   They also debate boundaries, forgiveness, reconciliation, and loving those who do wrong, ending with an invitation to buy “Learning to Love” on Amazon.   00:00 Intro and Setup 00:23 Discipleship Teaches Love 01:27 First Corinthians Love 04:23 Theory Becomes Reality 08:00 Love Bypasses Rebellion 10:21 Legalism Versus Love 13:56 Personal Season and Reflection 15:46 How to Love in Spite 18:08 Truth and Growth 18:30 Loving Your Enemies 19:07 Reflecting on Faults 20:07 Love Versus Like 21:21 Theory Meets Testing 23:19 Prayerful Baby Steps 24:51 Believers and Wrath 26:34 Boundaries Debate 29:43 Gospel and Reconciliation 32:08 Sanctification Spectrum 33:19 Closing and Book Plug  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
