CCEF Podcast: Where Life & Scripture Meet

Can We Love Someone but Not Like Them?


Listen Later

"We should never be content with, 'I love that person but I don't like them.' That should always be a call to press deeper, to seek to love in ways that lead us toward a greater tenderness and affection." In our 8th and final episode of season 2, Alasdair Groves explores the phrase, "I love you but I don't like you." Is it helpful, harmful, or potentially both? How can we engage with someone whom we love but don't "like" in a particular moment or season? How can we both love someone and be passionate for their growth in godliness? How did Jesus model this wise love? Related resources:
