Episode 52: Biblical Boundaries | Embrace Intimacy with the Father Who Calls You His Own | PGD
Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2
In this episode of Learning to Love, the speakers discuss how biblical love and forgiveness relate to boundaries, emphasizing that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit and God does not withdraw His presence when they sin.
Using passages like John 14–17, Matthew’s teaching on continual forgiveness, and the parable of the unmerciful servant, they argue that Christians should mirror God’s enduring mercy, with the main exception being truly harmful or abusive situations.
They also debate whether love and forgiveness require continued access, noting that forgiveness doesn’t always mean proximity, especially when there is ongoing harm or lack of repentance.
The conversation shifts to whether sin and rebellion can forfeit God’s plan, concluding that God’s sovereign purposes will be accomplished, though disobedience may delay what He intends as He reroutes and corrects His people.

Episode 51: Seeing God’s Heart | Embrace Intimacy with the Father Who Calls You His Own | PGD
Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2
Delora (“Dee”) hosts Michelle and Rayna in a conversation with author Kendra M. Dublin about her book, Learning to Love. Kendra shares that she recognized a lack of empathy as early as age nine and describes a 30-year journey—from legalism, pride, and shame to trials like alcoholism, job loss, marriage changes, and discipleship—that taught her to love as God loves.
The group discusses why love isn’t innate apart from personal faith in Christ, why Christians keep records of wrongs due to distorted views of God shaped by family and lack of Scripture and discipleship, and why God’s love does not fluctuate with obedience though conviction and grief are real.
Kendra explains that Old Testament warnings reveal readers’ heart conditions, emphasizing God’s holiness, mercy, and loving correction, and the episode closes teasing a question about love, forgiveness, and boundaries.
