Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2 

In this episode, Kevin D. Jones Sr. interviews author Kendra Dublin about her book Learning to Love, contrasting conservative theology with legalism and emphasizing growth in understanding God.

Kendra shares what she is still learning about love—especially humility, resisting pride, and freeing others as God has freed her—and discusses her top books, placing Learning to Love as her number one, alongside titles like Pathway to Greatness, Pathway to Patience, God’s Perspective For Me, People Growth Discipleship Growth, and Follow Me. 

She explains her hope that readers leave the book believing God loves them personally, leading them to love themselves and live out the greatest commandments.

Kevin closes by urging disciples to move beyond knowing about God’s love to boldly living in it, using an adoption analogy to describe believers who still operate in fear.

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2 

In this episode of “Learning to Love,” the speakers reflect on God’s agape love as the greatest miracle and discuss personal growth from bitterness into intentional inner work, including self-rebuke, naming emotions, and speaking life.

They explore how receiving God’s love reshapes the way correction and disagreement are handled—listening for the Spirit in others, allowing edification, and viewing people through maturity levels rather than demonizing imperfection.

The conversation addresses those who believe God loves them but doesn’t “like” them, challenging a transactional view of God that ties His love to circumstances, comparison, and social media-driven envy.

They emphasize abiding with God, gratitude, and trusting His grace even when prayers aren’t answered as desired, using Paul’s “thorn” to highlight growth, humility, and avoiding legalistic self-interpretation.

Learning to Love: Discipleship, Rebellion, and the Hard Work of Real Love

In this episode of the “Learning to Love” conversation, the host interviews Kendra M. Dublin about what discipling believers has taught her about love beyond studying Scripture, using 1 Corinthians 13 to explain how patience, kindness, and perseverance become real when walking with people through immaturity, setbacks, and conflict.

They discuss how lived experience turns biblical truth from theory into embodied practice, especially when disciples want to quit or resist correction.

The conversation then explores Kendra’s chapter on how God “bypasses rebellion” in His pursuit of humanity and how legalism can cause Christians to respond with judgment rather than love, prayer, and warning.

They also debate boundaries, forgiveness, reconciliation, and loving those who do wrong, ending with an invitation to buy “Learning to Love” on Amazon.

Learning to Love: Writing Through Warfare, Vulnerability, and Meditation

In this episode, Pastor Kevin reconnects with Kendra M. Dublin to continue their conversation about her book, Learning to Love, after an earlier interview missed several questions.

They discuss how resting in God’s inseparable love anchors life through change, why Kevin wrote the foreword after hearing Kendra’s approach to love, and how a grace-centered view of Jesus contrasts with legalism.

Kendra shares that the most emotionally taxing chapter to write was chapter one, “Wrestle with Love,” because it required deciding how much to reveal about spiritual warfare since age nine.

She says her biggest fear isn’t vulnerability but being seen as a public theologian without formal training. The conversation emphasizes meditation as essential for embodying Scripture, deepening intimacy with God, and fueling Spirit-led creativity in preaching and writing, and closes by inviting viewers to buy the book on Amazon and return next week.

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2 

In this episode of the Learning to Love series, the conversation explores why love is foundational to understanding identity, emphasizing that “God is love” and that centering life on God’s love shapes character and behavior beyond feelings.

Kendra connects love to scripture’s greatest commandments and to humility as a byproduct of love that enables surrender and teachability. She reflects on her earlier self, academic failure, and the shift from living “for me” to living as Christ’s disciple, arguing that believers surrender their will to God’s will.

Kendra also shares how God’s deliverance from alcoholism—and later an experience of deliverance from severe shaking—deepened her confidence in God’s power and expanded her grace toward others.

The discussion between Kendra and Kevin closes with insights from her book, Learning to Love, including how earthly fathers can shape or distort one’s view of God as Father, and an invitation to return for part two.

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2 

The host interviews author Kendra Dublin about her book Learning to Love, exploring when she first realized she needed to learn love and how that journey shaped her faith and life.

Kendra shares a childhood memory of the Oklahoma City bombing that exposed her lack of empathy, and explains how God used decades of growth, storms, and self-awareness to teach her compassion and wisdom in how she speaks to others.

They discuss how legalism produced harshness, fear, and prejudice, including a painful moment when a former friend repeatedly appeared on her social media feed shortly before dying, prompting conviction about missed evangelism and bias.

Kendra also describes moving from knowing God loves her to receiving His love, including her recovery from alcoholism rooted in shame, and a 2024 spiritual storm that led her to remove harmful influences and return to Scripture.

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2 

In this episode of Learning to Love, Kendra M. Dublin and Sister Vicky discuss the chapter “Lovingly Separated” using Romans 1:18–19 to explain how God’s love is defined by holiness, righteousness, and justice rather than culture’s view of love.

They address the question of how a loving God relates to hell, emphasizing that God offers life through Christ and that rejecting Him is choosing death, with no middle ground.

They talk about repentance as a changed mind, denying self, accountability to God, and how pursuing worldly gain without Christ leaves people without peace.

The conversation highlights abiding in God (John 15) to be fruitful, includes a gospel invitation about Jesus’ sacrifice, death, and resurrection, and ends with a prayer for salvation and restoration.

In this episode of Learning to Love, the hosts continue discussing drawing closer to Christ through intimacy with God, focusing on Chapter 15, “Love and Friendship,” anchored in Psalm 63:1.

Kendra reflects on longing for “something more” in 2022, how Psalm 63 led her from routine Christian disciplines into deeper meditation and extended, scheduled time with God, especially in the evenings, and how that closeness brings peace and guidance in everyday anxiety and even through simple means.

They emphasize guarding the mind before sleep, listening to the Holy Spirit, and how prayer prepared one host during family loss.

The conversation then introduces “Surrender Love” (Philippians 2), highlighting humility, serving and edifying the body of Christ, surrendering pride and platform-seeking, and rejecting an isolated faith by valuing community and local church participation.

This episode continues a discussion of Kendra M. Dublin’s book Learning to Love, focusing on Chapter 11 (Brotherly Love) using Hebrews 2:11 and Chapter 12 (Adopted by Love) using Galatians 4:4–7.

The conversation highlights that Jesus is not ashamed to call believers brothers and sisters and that God became human so people could be made family, emphasizing belonging, community, and a love without human-style stipulations.

Kendra explains how Hebrews 2:11 became the “missing piece” of the book and describes how God’s discipline is meant to grow believers rather than shame them, with the prodigal son as an example.

The host connects adoption to spiritual adoption, sharing personal experiences about inheritance, identity, and ongoing communication through the Holy Spirit, while Kendra reflects on God pruning prejudice and calling believers to extend love and grace.

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2 

The hosts continue discussing Kendra M. Dublin’s book Learning to Love, focusing on chapter nine, “Ambassador of Love,” which begins with scripture and includes a humorous story from Kendra’s 10th-grade year that reveals her academically gifted background, pride, and rebelliousness, including later consequences like being kicked out of college before being reinstated.

They reflect on how God’s plan connects life experiences over time, encouraging parents that seeds planted in children bloom in God’s timing.

They highlight the line, “Jesus will come to sustain the faint-hearted with the word,” emphasizing God’s Word as guidance, comfort, and perspective, including trusting God’s provision.

The conversation transitions to chapter ten on sacrificial love, noting Jesus’ servant nature, steadfast identity amid ignorance and rejection, and the call for believers to deny self daily; Kendra responds to claims that “it doesn’t take all that” by pointing to Jesus’ suffering, humility, obedience, and the disciple’s duty to follow the text.
