About this listen

I believe love is credible. I believe it is the only thing that truly stands the test. And if I am honest, it can stink to love people.

In this episode of the No BS Bishop Podcast, I talk plainly about the cost of loving others when it hurts. I have been betrayed. I have had promises broken. I have watched people disappear. I have felt fear, disappointment, and exhaustion show up fast and loud. And still, love remains the call on my life.

I draw from decades of pastoral life, personal heartbreak, and the example of Jesus to explore what it really means to love when it would be easier to shut down or walk away. Love is not soft. It does not always protect us from pain. It demands courage, patience, and a willingness to stay present when things get hard.

I talk about loving neighbors who disappoint us, frighten us, disagree with us, or wound us, and choosing love anyway. Not denial. Not sentimentality. A grounded, determined love that refuses to turn into hate.

If you have ever wondered whether love is worth the cost, if you have been hurt by people you tried to care for, or if you are tired of fear and anger running the show, this episode is for you.

Some days love stinks. I still believe it is the way forward.
