    New Show! #1 The Mirror, the Secret Place, and Why You Need Friends Who’ll Tell You Your Breath Stinks

    This is a bonus episode of the new podcast "The Love Reality Show". You can find it here. Please Subscribe and rate.  It’s the first-ever Love Reality Show! Jonathan, Justin, and Rich go live with a rundown of gospel encouragement, family stories, and plenty of trash talk. In this episode: • Wave One: What does James 1 really mean by looking in the mirror and forgetting what you saw? Jonathan makes the case that the mirror isn’t the law but Jesus, and that you were made to bear His image. • My Wife and Kids: A scooter crash, a bad case of road rash, and a round of video games turn into a lesson from Colossians 3 on setting your mind on things above. • Secrets from the Secret Place: Justin flew to Michigan to hear Dan Mohler preach, which raised a tough question. If we’d go that far to hear a man preach, why is it so hard to get up 30 minutes early to meet the Father? • Doom Scroll: A little girl preaches about apologizing and repenting, and the guys unpack why forgiveness is a gift and not something we earn. • Stir It Up: You can’t smell your own breath, and you can’t always see your own blind spots. Rich makes the case for having brothers who love you enough to be honest with you. Plus Rich’s flag football heroics, which were against high school girls. Yes, you heard that right. 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

We talk about how meditating on the gospel reshapes identity, brings peace under pressure, and turns everyday work into a place to serve with joy. • David’s last two years, from new family joy to deep loss • navigating a layoff, severance, and the emotional swing of self-pity • learning to notice spirals without adding shame • job searching frustrations and AI screening realities • building a life in the secret place through meditation on the Word • grieving with hope after his mother’s death • refusing to tie worth to productivity or a paycheck • DoorDash as honest work, excellence, and a platform for love • a car accident and practical provision through community support • contentment in every circumstance, praise when life feels unfair 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #276 Vineta: Learning That God’s Approval Is Enough

    We hear Vineta’s journey from a sincere love for Jesus into perfectionism, burnout, and the exhausting chase for approval. We talk through how the gospel set her free, reshaped her view of mental health, and taught her to meet depression with the gentleness of Christ. • growing up with deep faith while absorbing a works-driven mindset • discovering living faith outside one denomination through high school friendships • carrying leadership titles as a substitute for worth and belonging • hitting burnout and naming the need for people’s approval • healing in layers through rest, simplicity, and community • hearing that Jesus died for sins done against us and choosing forgiveness • walking through depression and anxiety without treating it as spiritual failure • learning discernment between spiritual health and mental health • practicing Jesus’ way of gentleness and humility with ourselves and others • replacing striving with the truth that we are already loved 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #275 Kira: The Denim Skirt Scorecard Finally Failed

    We sit down with Kira as she tells the long, winding road from church kid to skeptic to strict religion and finally to real rest in Jesus. Her story is raw, surprising, and full of moments where God keeps showing up when she cannot hold herself together. • growing up in a stable home while feeling socially “off” and trying to fix herself through effort • drifting from childhood faith into atheism, purpose seeking, and an identity built on achievement • a relationship collapse, depression, and a late-night prayer that shifts everything • getting pulled into fear-based religion and harmful control that looks like devotion • wandering alone, small mercies, and reminders that God protects even in confusion • years of Adventist legalism and the inability to feel truly safe with God • marriage strain, shame cycles, and the limits of behavior-based righteousness • hearing testimonies that spark hope and the gospel “clicking” through the Adam One and Adam Two lens • Sabbath as rest rather than a transaction and blessing as something already given in Christ • learning to speak life to her younger self and to anyone still trapped in performance 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #274: Savannah Carlson, Gospel Over Guilt

    We sit down with Savannah to trace how fear, secrecy, and image-management in church culture fed a long cycle of shame and sexual sin, even while she tried hard to be a “good Christian.” A breakthrough in Hebrews 9 reframes everything, moving her from dead works to a confident identity in Christ that actually empowers lasting change. • growing up in a Christian home where weakness feels unsafe • chasing affirmation and confusing performance with closeness to God • a youth leadership “contract” that teaches secrecy over confession • the weekly cycle of temptation, crossing lines, guilt, and condemnation • how shame spreads through family and friend reactions • Hebrews 9 and “dead works” as the turning point • learning righteousness, forgiveness, and freedom through Jesus as High Priest • Romans 6 and renewing the mind as a daily practice • redefining humility as receiving what God already gave • helping others through coaching that targets limiting beliefs and gospel truth 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #273: Crista Few, Grace That Outlives Grief

    We sit down with Crista Few as she grieves her mom’s death and explains why the resurrection of Jesus gives her peace even when she doesn’t have every answer. We talk through Adventist culture, church politics, and legalism, then come back to the simple center: the gospel is what Jesus has already done to reconcile us to God. • her mom’s oral cancer, hospice decision, and the “God moments” in the final days • the difference between beliefs and facts, especially around death and hope • why “being right” can quietly replace a relationship with Jesus • identity in Christ as a stabilizer through grief and change • experiencing church politics for the first time and how it reshapes trust • baptism vows, fear-based faith, and the pressure to perform • coffee controversy and how small issues reveal big control patterns • discovering Death to Life and rethinking what the gospel actually is • seeing the temple as a picture of Jesus rather than a checklist • assurance that salvation is secure because Jesus finished the work • readiness for the Second Coming without panic or superstition 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.
