In this episode, The Mistake of Love, I wrestle with a challenging truth: love, while powerful and beautiful, can also lead us away from God when it’s misdirected. We explore how love, when poured into worldly things like, money, pleasure, and status, it can feel fulfilling in the moment but ultimately steers our souls away from eternal joy. Drawing from 1 John 2, I dig into the critical difference between loving rightly and loving recklessly, and how even morally "good" people can miss heaven by investing their hearts in the wrong things. I reflect on how our culture glorifies the love of money, screen-fueled pleasure, and human approval, yet these things leave us empty. Instead, I call us to a deliberate love: love for God, for people, and for eternal things. We talk about the prodigal son, the Good Samaritan, and even Judas, contrasting their paths to show where love can go right or tragically wrong. This isn’t about guilt, it’s about realignment. Where is your love aimed? Because every day, every choice, turns the wheel of your life. Let's aim well.
