Advent Love for the Doubting Heart

EPISODE 75

In this final Advent episode on Love, Joni addresses the deepest unbelief many of us carry: the fear that God may love us but doesn’t truly delight in us. Through Scripture and honest reflection, she reveals that Advent Love is not sentimental or earned, but a lavish, pursuing love that chose to come close because God wanted us. This episode invites listeners to believe what God believes that they are fully known, fully loved, and worth coming for.

This episode invites listeners to believe what God believes: that joy is not earned, but received as a gift from a God who delights in His children.
