This week, we dive into the essence of loving our family deeply and what it truly means to love well. Embracing our loved ones often demands sacrifice—a testament to the depth of our commitment.
Bob Goff captures this beautifully in Love Does:
“That’s what love does – it pursues blindly, unflinchingly, and without end. When you go after something you love, you’ll do anything it takes to get it, even if it costs everything.”
Yet, in this pursuit, we are not alone. Loving through our strength is a Herculean task, but as 1 John 4:19 reminds us,
“We love because He first loved us.”
This divine love empowers us to extend grace and love to our families beyond our natural capacity.
This week, Marty offers reflections on the profound nature of God’s love, alongside two practical challenges to embody this love in our daily lives. Let’s lean into these opportunities, inspired by the strength and love that God freely offers us.

Trusting God when the lights are flashing.
When a young boy is kidnapped, a Christian police officer dares to ask God to help him in a kidnapping case. The trail is cold, and there are no clues. It’s a lost cause unless God steps in.
So when a man of faith steps out in faith, how does God respond? Does God speak to cops and regular guys like us or just prophets and holy men during Bible times? The answer to this question will change your life.
