Mission Finder Podcast #42
Hosts: Andrew Michael Arroyo & Don Nava
In the latest episode of Mission Finder, we explore God’s divine design—centered on loving others more than ourselves. This principle, rooted in biblical teachings, is beautifully captured in Luke 6:31: “Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.”
Jesus’ Example of Unconditional Love
Jesus didn’t just teach love—He lived it. His ministry exemplified that love is more than a feeling; it’s a daily choice. We are called to love even when it’s difficult, to forgive freely, and to practice generosity—challenges that often go against human nature.
Overcoming Barriers to Love
Our upbringing and past relationships shape how we express love. For some, past wounds create barriers to fully embracing God’s love. This is where the Holy Spirit empowers us, helping us heal and love others more genuinely.
Loving Those Who Challenge Us
Jesus instructs us to love not just our friends but also those who oppose us. Scripture provides a guide for navigating difficult relationships—blessing those who curse us and praying for those who mistreat us.
Cultivating a Christ-Like Character
Spiritual growth is key to loving as Christ loves. Seeking guidance from mentors and nurturing the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—helps us reflect God’s love in our daily lives.
Living Out God’s Love
Loving others is not just a command; it’s a reflection of our relationship with God. When we grasp His love for us, it naturally overflows into how we treat others. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we can make this love an active part of our lives.
Join us on this transformative journey as we strive to embody God’s love. Tune in now to explore these vital lessons and apply them to your life!
