Taylor Swift and Lessons on Love | 6th Sunday of Eastertide | Year B
from The Average Shepherd · host Fr Sam French
This week on the podcast, Fr. Sam delves into the theme of divine love as contrasted with the fleeting passions of human affection, inspired by Taylor Swift's latest album. As we explore the 6th Sunday of Eastertide, we uncover the essence of Jesus' command in John 15: "love one another as I have loved you." This exploration reveals how modern culture, steeped in a romanticized view of love, often distorts our understanding of this profound biblical command. Fr. Sam challenges us to rise above the emotional rollercoaster of human relationships and embrace a love that is self-sacrificial, deliberate, and eternal—the love Christ calls us to embody. Join Fr.
