Episode Show Notes: Falling in Love with Christ First

Podcast: Labor & Love (Season 2)

Host: Karen Oliver, Co-host Tomeka Jones

Episode Summary

Before we can build healthy, lasting connections with others, we must first understand the foundation of all love. In this episode, we explore the transformative power of Falling in Love with Christ First. If your history with love has been marked by inconsistency or pain, this conversation is for you.

We discuss how shifting your focus to God’s unwavering affection creates a new blueprint for every relationship in your life.

Key Discussion Points

* The Ultimate Model for Love

For those who have never experienced a healthy, earthly relationship, Christ serves as the definitive model. We discuss how to look toward His life and sacrifice to redefine what "good" love actually looks and feels like.

* A Love That Isn't Performance-Based

Unlike the world, God’s love isn't earned by what you do or how you perform. We dive into the peace that comes from knowing His love is consistent, patient, and entirely unconditional.

* The "Inflow to Outflow" Principle

You cannot pour from an empty cup. We explore how learning to truly receive love from God is the essential first step to being able to offer genuine, healthy love to the people around you.

Key Takeaways

* Love is a Mirror: The way you allow God to love you will eventually reflect in the way you love yourself and others.

* Healing the Past: Using the "Original Blueprint" of Christ's love to heal wounds left by dysfunctional past relationships.

* Consistency is Key: Finding security in a God who does not change, even when circumstances do.

Notable Quote

"If you’ve never seen healthy love in your life, look at Christ. He isn't just the source; He is the standard."
