Displaced Love

Love Better

A man named Gay Balfour, a decommissioned septic truck, and a dream that couldn't be displaced.

We’ve looked at the parts of our lives that are typically associated with love – our heart, soul, and mind, but now we need to finish the journey by investigating how to love with all our strength.

We talk about chemical dependency, behavioral addictions, and Steve’s own road to restoration with the Lord. It turns out that recovery from addiction is

Quiet Love

Did you hear the news? April 18, 1930 was an important news day! Today, we will take a look at news, silence, and how to calm your soul. If you are a regular listener, thank you for your patience during my radio silence these last two weeks. Between traveling to Harrisburg, PA to be with the Capital City Christians to a couple of difficult funerals for our family here at Eastland, the podcast needed to take a backseat for a minute. The good news is that both the funerals were for Christians and I hope to see them again someday. It is true what Paul said, “we grieve, but not as those who have n

Love's Yarn

Love Better

A ball of yarn, a warning against minotaurs, and a fashionable reminder. Today, we look at the failings of the heart. Today is the last installment of our series on learning to love God (and our neighbor) with all our heart. Every time that Jesus mentions the greatest commandment, He begins by telling us to love with our whole heart. The heart is the seat of our emotions, it is where they reside, it is the part of us that we feel with – from fear to courage to anger to joy to sorrow to discouragement to resentment to gratitude. If you can feel it, it is your heart that makes that possible. Sta
