True love for God is revealed not in emotion, intention, or religious activity—but in obedience. In this episode, we explore the sobering contrast between Jesus’ call to keep His words and Saul’s tragic downfall in 1 Samuel 15. God desires obedience over sacrifice, and when we choose our way over His, we silence our ability to hear Him clearly. Through Scripture, we uncover how obedience restores intimacy with God, keeps our hearts teachable, and positions us to walk in His will without delay.
