S3E2 | The Love Session

Beyond the Church - S3E2: The Love Session: Love That Isn’t Rooted in Emotion Alone Hot Topic: How do we feel about putting expectations we see from socials onto our spouse or whoever we may be dating?In this episode of Beyond the Church, Pam Clark, Kerry Clark, and Jessica Anderson dive into what love really is—and what it isn’t.With Valentine’s Day setting the tone, we explore how culture often reduces love to flowers, feelings, and fleeting moments. But is that all love is? Or have we misunderstood it?Using 1 Corinthians 13:4–7, we break down the biblical definition of love and discover that it’s not rooted in emotion alone. Love is patient. Love is kind. It doesn’t keep score. It doesn’t demand its own way. It doesn’t give up. And it endures—even when it costs you.We also tackle the pressure of comparison, unrealistic expectations fueled by social media, and how thoughtfulness beats performance every time. The conversation is honest, practical, and sometimes humorous—but it leads to one powerful truth: love isn’t something you just feel. It’s something you choose, cultivate, and become.If you’ve ever struggled with expectations in relationships, emotional highs and lows, or simply want to understand love through God’s nature and truth, this episode is for you.We’re not trying to be perfect. We’re learning to live like Jesus—beyond the church.Subscribe to our channel using this link: youtube.com/@Beyond-the-Church. #BeyondTheChurch #ChurchWithinYou #KerryAClark #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalLove #1Corinthians13 #LoveIsPatient #ChristianRelationships #ValentinesDay #FaithAndRelationships #GodIsLove #SpiritualGrowth*All images are used with permission from Unsplash.com. *Music is licensed and used with permission from Pond5.com.
