About this listen
Will you dare to love as Christ loves?
Welcome to Lent and Loving, the final episode of St Augustine’s College of Theology’s Lent 2025 podcast.
This week, our principal, Alan Gregory, invites you to reflect on love—its challenges and its power.
As the philosopher Thomas Hobbes once suggested, does self-interest drive us, or are we wired for deeper connection? From everyday kindness to life’s greatest sacrifices, love is at the heart of being human.
Alan challenges us to go beyond surface-level kindness and embrace love fully. Love stirs our longings, but it is agape—the self-giving love of God—that transforms lives.
Lent is a time to practice this love: to forgive, serve, and extend grace, even when it’s difficult.
As we approach Easter, Alan encourages us to take small but intentional steps toward love, trusting that even the smallest seed of love can grow into something extraordinary.
