Genuine Love
from Before the Lord · host Blake S. Crawford

In this episode, we explore why love without moral clarity isn’t genuine — it’s merely agreeable — and what it looks like to be anchored in truth as a continuing quality of life.Subscribe to receive Before the Lord devotionals in your inbox: www.blakescrawford.com / Follow Before the Lord on Facebook (@BeforeTheLord) and Instagram (@beforethelorddevo)
