In this episode of Rooted, we dive into Ephesians 5 and what it really means to “imitate God.” Paul calls us beyond surface-level love into something deeper—sacrificial, costly, and rooted in the way Christ loved us. This isn’t about being nice when it’s easy or loving when it’s returned; it’s about living a life shaped by the gospel, where love becomes an act of worship. As we unpack how this kind of love challenges our selfishness and reshapes our relationships, you’ll be pushed to ask: is my love about what I can get, or is it a reflection of what I’ve already received in Jesus?
