Making Disciples with Rev Dr Cris Rogers

236. Is the phrase "Love is Love" true, and is God really love.

This week, we tackle a deep question: Who gets to decide what love really means? The phrase 'Love is Love' has spread widely throughout our culture in recent years, but where did this idea come from? We'll look at whether this view matches what the Bible teaches about love, or if it's a flawed idea that came from modern society. Join us as we explore how a Christian viewpoint and today's cultural views on love and relationships compare.
