Love is Greater Than Knowledge

In many corners of Christianity, being right has become more important than loving people well. Jake Doberenz is on Christianity Without Compromise to discuss why Christian knowledge without love ultimately damages the church and distorts the Gospel. Drawing from 1 Corinthians, Jake explores how the Corinthian church elevated wisdom, debate, and theological certainty while neglecting love. He unpacks Paul’s warning that knowledge “puffs up” while love builds others up, challenges modern Christian habits of weaponizing truth, and explains why spiritual growth requires sacrificing knowledge for the sake of others.Jake Doberenz is the founder of the podcast production company Theophany Media and host of Christianity Without Compromise.
