Separating feelings from fact when it comes to love, plus what to do about stress, and coming to terms when something good didn’t happen.     

I’m Stressed: A Path from Pressure to Peace (Ask the Christian Counselor)

Featured musical artist: Love and the Outcome 

Roundtable: How Do I Know I Love Someone? 

The feelings and excitement of being “in love” are celebrated everywhere from movies to music. But is love deeper than a mere feeling? Are feelings even an indicator that you actually love someone? Our guests get honest about how they’ve struggled with discerning the difference between love as a feeling and love as a choice. They’ll also explain love in the tough times and (yikes) loving the hard to love, including our enemies.
