Loving others the way Jesus loves us is a beautiful calling — and a challenging one. In Dr. Stanley's August letter, we explore what it looks like to walk in love as followers of Christ, drawing on Paul's words in Ephesians. John is joined by Betsy, the In Touch social media manager, for a candid conversation about learning to receive God's love before you can truly give it to others.

Loved First: How Jesus Frees Us to Love Others

Real transformation comes not from our own striving, but from the Holy Spirit flowing through us. This month, John welcomes Phillip Bowen, president and CEO of In Touch, to read and discuss Dr. Stanley's September teaching letter. Phillip recalls how the Spirit empowered his own life—and how He nurtures fruit in ours, too. We also get a rare glimpse of the man behind the pulpit as Phillip shares personal memories from his time with Dr. Stanley. This conversation offers a look ahead to In Touch's 50th anniversary in 2027 and what it means to carry a timeless ministry forward by faith.
