Everyone knows 1 Corinthians 13 as "the love chapter"—it shows up at weddings all the time. But Paul wasn't writing marriage advice. He was addressing a church drunk on spiritual gifts while missing the entire point of Christianity.
In this episode, we break down why Paul calls love the "more excellent way" and why you can have all the spiritual gifts in the world but still be making meaningless noise. We examine what biblical love actually looks like (spoiler: it's not feelings), why Moses missed the Promised Land over this issue, and how to test if your relationships reflect genuine love or just emotional manipulation.
We also tackle the uncomfortable truth that every spiritual gift will eventually become obsolete—except love.
Covered in this episode:
Time to move past the Hallmark card version and see what Paul really meant.
