Friday, October 24th: Episode 625 continues the counter-culture of love theme with a solo message from John. He explains that Jesus-shaped love is practical and visible, drawing from Romans 12:9–21 and 1 Corinthians 13. Genuine love hates what harms people and clings to what is good. Biblical love honors others and perseveres through hardship with prayer. John emphasizes responding to hostility with blessing rather than retaliation. He highlights that real love stays even when things get difficult. The “Jesus Rule” returns — if it isn’t something Jesus would say or do, it isn’t Christian love. Listeners are challenged to apply love in relationally specific ways this week. The episode concludes with a charge to embody Christ’s love as a Kingdom witness in a divided world.
