First off, I absolutely love the special guest series! This was such a great conversation. I also want to take a moment to give you both your flowers for embodying what God intended church to be, living it outside the four walls in your everyday life and within your community outreach. That is truly beautiful and inspiring. I connected with the part of the conversation about love. I wholeheartedly agree with you guys sentiments. It reminded me of something bell hooks wrote in “All About Love”. She states, “to truly love, we must learn to mix various ingredients: care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, trust, as well as honest and open communication.” She highlights that love is to nurture our and another person’s spiritual growth. I appreciated your point about being responsible with our love and using wisdom in how we invest deeply in people. That lesson has been hitting home for me in 2024 and hearing it articulated the way you did really resonated. Another key takeaway was the reminder that ministry isn’t confined to the pulpit, it’s about how we show up in our communities and the connections we build with those we congregate with. 📝 I pray this message continues to reach and touch the hearts of those who need it most because this truly was a word. Thank you for sharing and I can’t wait to hear more from this series!
