LOVEmentalism

Ephesus had a reputation of being an extraordinarily loving church, yet one generation later, they were described as having "lost the love they had at first." What can we learn?

A look at God's Grace. After growing up in a faith community that was built on a performance mentality, a verse from the Hebrew bible, 2 Samuel 14:14 changed my perspective and opened up the world of God's loving gift to the world.

An interview with Don McLaughlin, Sr. Minister at the North Atlanta Church of Christ and author of Love First: Ending Hate before It's Too Late.

Mike interviews Patrick Mead, lead pastor of Our Safe Harbor Church. Patrick's ministry focus is on loving God and loving others. He discusses how all of scripture arcs to love, as well as the negative side effects of not keeping that as our focus. You can find more info on Patrick and Our Safe Harbor Church at: www.oursafeharbor.com 

Mike discusses Jesus' message where he said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom..." What were they missing? Jesus said he "never knew" them. How do you get into a place where he knows you?

Mike explores the meaning of the word "gospel." Does it mean what you think it means? What exactly is it?

Your host, Mike DeCamp, introduces the concept of Lovementalism, the plans for the podcast, and his background.
