    Episode 143 | Loving God or Just Performing for Him?

    After a 3-month hiatus, we’re back — and this conversation goes deep. In this episode of The Juxtaposition Podcast, we unpack something every Christian says they understand but many struggle to truly live in: the love of God. Do we actually know how to love God, or have we only learned how to serve Him? Is our relationship with Him rooted in intimacy, or performance? We wrestle with what it means to embrace God’s love beyond church service, ministry roles, and public gifting. What happens if God takes away the platform? Would you still feel close to Him? Is He proud of you right now — even in your inconsistency? Even in your delays? Even in your struggles? Through honest reflections on heartbreak, healing, insecurity, validation, and personal testimony, this episode challenges the idea that God’s love is based on merit. His love isn’t earned. It’s faithful. It’s consistent. And it isn’t shaken by your worst day. If God sat across from you and said, “You don’t have to impress Me,” how would that make you feel? Comment below and let’s talk.
