This is a first in a multi-part series that I am entitling 'The UnLovables'.

There are certain people in our lives and communities that are quite difficult to love.  From those that betray and violate our trust to that arrogant know-it-all brother-in-law some people require the very best of our character to love because loving them is complicated by their poor choices and character.  How do you love someone who is self-absorbed? Or ungrateful?  How do you learn to love better when the other person isn’t choosing to be better?  What about loving someone who is aggressive – even abusive?  These are all fair questions that deserve Bible answers.

Today, we are going to take a look at a type of person that I myself find very difficult to love – the perpetual victim.

One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love.  I’d love for you to meet Buck Barrett.  Buck is a husband and father and a passionately outspoken Christian.  He is also a former air traffic controller and currently works as a branch manager for the FAA’s Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service… and he does all of this while being the full-time preacher for a congregation in Renton, WA.

Buck and I talk about his conversion from a life of partying without purpose – the love of his brother that refused to take no for an answer when it came to Buck’s soul, and we also spend some time talking about how to talk to people about Jesus in the work environment without getting in trouble with HR, what it means to be family and to love people like Jesus loves us, we even spend some time talk about race and its impact on evangelism.  I entitled this conversation, ‘Relentless Love’ and I think you will find, Buck has a way of relentlessly seeking the lost and making sure that they know Jesus loves them.

The enterprising farmers of Enterprise, a Herald of Prosperity that stop bugging others, and the importance of repentance.

This year, we are learning to love better by exploring the greatest commandment – Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  We’ve looked at the parts of our lives that are typically associated with love – our heart, soul, and mind, but now we need to finish the journey by investigating how to love with all our strength.  Weak love isn’t much love at all.  Real love is made of sterner stuff, and if we are going to love better, we need to learn how to love with ALL our strength.  Today, is the last in a five-part series on how to have strong love, and today, we will finish out the year by talking about the strength to change directions… because we can’t be strong if we don’t know how to pivot when we are wrong.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is offer a dissenting voice.
