What this episode covers

We get into the concept of love and what it means to love well in this episode. We explore the idea that love is not just a feeling or a word, but an action that requires intentionality and commitment. We have to challenge the societal norms of prioritizing romantic relationships and biological families over other types of relationships. It is also so important to show up for others, by being intentional in our actions, and creating systems to support our relationships. Takeaways Love is not just a feeling or a word, but an action that requires intentionality and commitment. Societal norms often prioritize romantic relationships and biological family over other types of relationships, but it is important to challenge and question these norms. Showing up for others and being intentional in our actions are key aspects of loving well. Creating systems and using tools like calendars and reminders can support our relationships and help us remember important dates and commitments. Polyamory wisdom can offer valuable insights and practices for all types of relationships, including monogamous ones. Clear communication, time management, and intentional living are essential for building and maintaining healthy and loving relationships.

Institutes of Theology Countryside Bible Church Equipping God's People in God's Truth Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance!
