What does it mean to love like Jesus in our digitally divided world? Soon-to-be-Pastor Elisabeth confronts this challenging question, exploring how Jesus crossed every imaginable boundary—racial, political, religious, and social—to demonstrate true agape love. Through vivid Gospel stories and contemporary parallels, she reveals how our formation in Christ must transcend the tribal divisions of our social media age. This timely message challenges us to examine whether our love reflects Christ or merely mirrors cultural divisions, offering practical wisdom for authentic Christian witness in a polarized world. Don't miss this powerful reminder that our love for one another remains the ultimate testimony of our discipleship.

SHOW NOTES

The Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.

We’d love to meet you! Email us, check out our website, and come worship with us!

We are moving forward in faith. Join us.

Today’s message was originally delivered on Sunday September 28th in our Worship Center and you can watch it here.
