Have you ever known God loves you… and yet felt like that love hasn’t fully landed? You believe it. You teach it. You reassure others with it. But somewhere deep down, it still feels hard to receive.

In this episode, we explore why that gap exists and why it may have far less to do with your faith and far more to do with safety.

​

Using a simple story from my early marriage, a children’s book illustration, Jesus’ words about the vine and the branches, and a gentle look at how our nervous systems are wired, we uncover why love can be offered freely and still not reach the places where it’s meant to transform us.

This conversation is especially for those who are faithful, sincere, and tired of trying harder to feel what they already know is true.

💡Today’s Big Idea: Belovedness isn’t achieved. It’s received.

⚡️Today’s Small Step: Thank God for one small way you felt held today.
