Ep 140 // What Does God’s Impartial Love Really Mean—and How Do We Live It Out? With Bible Teacher Oghosa Iyamu

In this powerful conversation, Megan Nilsen sits down with Bible teacher and author Oghosa Iyamu to unpack what Scripture means when it says God’s love is impartial. Together they explore why impartial love matters in a culture driven by comparison, comfort, and competition—and how embracing it can transform your faith, relationships, and daily obedience.

Key Takeaways

• God’s Impartial Love Defined – Oghosa explains the difference between God’s impartiality (He doesn’t judge by outward status) and His impartial love (His radical hospitality that welcomes the undeserving through Christ).
• Small Acts of Bold Faith – Faithfulness isn’t only about big leaps like moving across the country; it’s about everyday obedience, like posting a vulnerable message or showing up when it feels uncomfortable.
• Breaking Comparison Traps – Both Megan and Oghosa share their struggles with hiding behind others’ ministries and the courage to step forward in their own God-given calling.
• Comfort, Competencies, and Comparison – Oghosa challenges the church to evaluate how these three cultural values sometimes replace God’s impartial perspective.
• Audience of One – A reminder to anchor our worth in Christ, not likes, followers, or human approval.

Quotable Quotes:

• “Sometimes it’s harder to be faithful in the small moments than the big moments—because only God sees them.”
• “God’s impartial love is His radical and generous hospitality to welcome the undeserving.”
• “It can look spiritual to hide behind other people’s ministries, but often we’re really avoiding rejection.”
• “God is the one who empowers. He gives the gift and the wisdom to know how and when to use it.”

If you’ve ever wrestled with comparison, doubted God’s goodness in hard seasons, or longed to fully believe His love is for you, this episode will encourage and equip you.
