Behind the Series: What Is Love?

How do you even tackle a subject as big as love? Especially when considering that God is love?

Pastor Mike is once again joined by Amber Albee Swenson—one of our Time of Grace bloggers, podcasters, and writers—as they give us a sneak peek at April's TV message series, "What Is Love?" Pastor Mike and Amber talk about whether love should be tough or tender—with Pastor Mike and Amber each revealing whether they are tough or tender. Spoiler for Amber: she has likely sent camp kids to therapy. The two take a deep dive into love, including showing love to those who disagree with you, whether our loves are ordered correctly, and how to love "those" people.

They also discuss this year's Easter sermon, where Amber poses the question: Even though we know Jesus has given us eternal life with his resurrection, why are so many Christians grumpy?

Pastor Mike and Amber also mention April's new book by Pastor Mike, "What Is Love?" which also includes a Bible study written by Amber. Get this new book, starting in April, at timeofgrace.org with your gift to the ministry.
