Season 2 Episode 2 // Freedom to be United in Love
Welcome back to An Abiding Life Podcast with your hosts, Hunter + Kait Poppa. The next episode in our series on "What is Freedom in Christ?" focuses on the freedom we have to be united in Love, Himself. In John 17, Jesus prays for us, His Church, to be one as He and the Father are one. Buckle up for a whole boat load of Scripture on what true, godly, biblical love is and what it means to be free in Christ to love God and others beyond our perceived divisions.
Here are a few reflection questions to keep in mind as you listen through this episode:
1. What are some ways that we are quick to follow our own Paul and Apollos rather than Jesus? How can we reorient these parts of our lives around Him Who is Love?
2. As I consider my life with other believers, what do I find are some of the most prominent divisions in our fellowship (whether I’m caught up in them or not)? How can I be a conduit for Christ's Spirit of unity in these areas?
3. How can I be an ambassador of Christ, having the same mindset as Him in the relationships He’s entrusted to me (family, friends, community, etc.)? What is the danger of doing this in my own power rather than being rooted in His love?
