What is love and why does living it out matter? In this episode of "What Matters Most,"  Tabitha Caplinger continues our study of the Fruit of the Spirit with two Faith Community friends, Chris Rowton and Katie Geary. They're talking all about love: What is it? How do we experience it? What does it look like to walk in it? Really, just all the things. 

Part of this conversation also talks about some of their experiences of not being loved well or moments where they didn’t love well themselves, even in christian community. They have helpful insight into how we can grow as followers of Christ when it comes to showing the generous love we’ve received!
