"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
1 John 3:18

Is your love something people hear about... or something they actually experience?

In today's episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Christian artist Sean Rodriguez to unpack the challenge found in 1 John 3:18: true love isn't just something we talk about. It's something we do.

Together, they explore the gap between good intentions and meaningful action, and why Christianity was never meant to be a faith of words alone. From serving others and supporting our communities to showing up when it's inconvenient, this conversation challenges us to put action behind the things we say we believe.

Sean shares stories from his years in family ministry, the impact of practical generosity, and why some of the most powerful demonstrations of God's love happen through simple acts of service. They also discuss the danger of assuming good intentions are enough and why people are often influenced more by what we do than by what we say.

Because at the end of the day, love isn't proven by promises. It's proven by action.

If you've ever wondered what it looks like to live out your faith in a practical way, this conversation is a powerful reminder that sometimes the most Christ-like thing we can do is simply show up and help.
