Discovering life, love, and God!
What is Love?
Love is more than passion, feeling, or fleeting emotion—it’s a choice, a commitment, and a way of living. True love shows up in actions, even when emotions fade or circumstances get hard. It’s steady, selfless, and rooted in truth, not just sentiment. Real love endures because it goes beyond what we feel to how we live. To pursue His love is to let it change us—so we don’t just receive it, but reflect it.

Current Series
Performance-based Christianity often leads to burnout, guilt, and a distorted view of God’s grace. It focuses on doing more to earn approval rather than resting in what Christ has already done. Instead of striving to check religious boxes, we’re invited into a deeper, more transformative relationship marked by love—for God, for others, and for ourselves. When we move from performance to love, faith becomes less about appearances and more about authentic connection, compassion, and freedom.
