Cherishing Your Spouse in Everyday Life

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.

Loving the Difficult People in Your Life

When people think of a “Christian,” they often picture someone who looks or acts a certain way—quoting Bible verses, listening only to worship music, or praying before every cup of coffee. But Jesus gave us a very different picture. In John 13, He said that the world would know His disciples by their love. This episode is a reminder that following Jesus isn’t about appearances or rituals—it’s about reflecting His love through kindness, patience, and integrity in everyday life.

Key Takeaways:


True Christianity isn’t about looking a certain way; it’s about living with love.


Jesus said the mark of a disciple is love (John 13:35).


Small, genuine acts—kindness, patience, honesty—speak volumes about who you are.


Being a Christian doesn’t mean being perfect; it means being transformed by love.
