1 Corinthians 13 | SPIRIT School of Ministry Podcast #159

Join Pastor David Lien, Athena Low, and Ashley Ball as they discuss the depth and power of God’s love revealed in 1 Corinthians 13. They highlight how agape—selfless, sacrificial love—differs from other forms of love and serves as the foundation for all spiritual gifts and actions. The conversation emphasizes that without love, even powerful works of faith or service are empty, and that true love requires slowing down, receiving God’s love personally, and letting it overflow into others.
