When Fear Trumps Endearment (#1009)
Following up on last week's podcast, Kyle and Wayne begin by discussing the power of presence to shape our lives in love. They agreed that religion often removes the focus on presence, offering instead a system of rules and certainty that doesn't lead to an authentic connection with God. By motivating people's fear, Christianity has often prioritized fear and control over genuine spiritual transformation. How different would our influence be in the world if love were our foundation? They conclude with a conversation about a false application of Ordo Amoris, which falsely allows us to be selective in those we love, allowing us to treat others with contempt.

“that just says you have not experienced love, because when you do, you cannot a portion it”…………….This has touched me a lot.
I was one that was in the meeting with Wayne in Atlanta on the 8 th of November. It is so wonderful to enter into the life of being loved by God , knowing that we have that love within us, and we can love others through His love in us. Thank you so much for being willing to meet with us and sharing your understanding and wisdom with us.
Thanks, Hal. What a wonderful day. I love the hunger and honest searching in that room. Thanks for sharing here.
