In this episode, we’re talking about one of the hardest parts of following Jesus—loving difficult people. Whether it’s a critical coworker, a gossiping friend, or someone who just knows how to push your buttons, Scripture reminds us that love is still the call.

Jesus said in John 13:35, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” That means our response to others—especially the challenging ones—speaks volumes about who we belong to.

Takeaways:


Loving others isn’t about agreeing—it’s about reflecting Christ’s heart.


Prayer is often the first step toward compassion.


Patience and kindness in difficult moments reveal God’s grace in us.


You may be the only example of Jesus someone encounters today.

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
