Loving the One You Don’t Choose: Defining Love in God’s Eyes
In this episode of Loving Your Neighbor: A Mark 12 Ministries Podcast, Maggie and Perry dig deep into what it really means to love—not by our standards, but by God’s. We explore the different Greek words for love and how Scripture defines it far beyond feelings or preferences.
This episode challenges us to ask: Who is the “one another” we’re actually called to love?
It’s not just the person next door. Not just your family. It’s the person you wouldn’t choose to love—the one who thinks, looks, or lives differently than you. Through honest self-reflection and biblical insight, this conversation calls us to recognize our weaknesses and lean into God's strength—so His love, not ours, can flow through us.
