What Does It Mean To Be Loved By God? (Aloha, Time, & Receiving Grace)

Описание: What does it actually mean to be loved by God?

In this episode, Jon Beary sits down with Gabe Kane for a real conversation about a question that sounds simple… until you try to answer it: “What does it mean to be loved by God?”

We talk about why it’s often easier to understand God’s justice than His love, how our view of love gets shaped early (and sometimes distorted), and why “time” might be one of the clearest pictures of love we have. Gabe also brings a powerful concept from Hawaiian language and culture—aloha (presence + breath)—as a way to think about love as something shared, received, and lived out.

If you’ve ever struggled to believe God loves you (or forgives you), you’re not alone. This one goes deep… but stays practical.

Listen and ask with us:
“God, help me in my unbelief.”
