About this episode

LINKS - https://linktr.ee/tedtalking

Discover radical freedom from people-pleasing through understanding agape love—the only love that never changes with feelings or circumstances. This powerful episode reveals why God doesn't just express love but IS love itself, and how this truth transforms your identity from performance-based to secure in divine approval.


Features groundbreaking teaching on the four Greek loves (eros, phileo, storge, agape) and why only agape provides an unshakeable foundation for identity. Learn why you can love enemies without liking them, and how to be "perfect" like the heavenly Father through agape love. Includes deep theological exposition on how living for human approval fragments your identity and exhausts your soul, plus five practical strategies for breaking free.


Explores Paul's transformation from seeking Pharisee approval to resting in God's agape love, and Jesus' example of living solely for the Father's approval. Features powerful biblical insights from Galatians, Ephesians, Matthew's Sermon on the Mount, and more.


**Topics covered:** Agape love theology, God IS love, feeling-based vs choice-based love, people-pleasing as idolatry, identity fragmentation, unconditional divine love, loving enemies, being perfect in love, Matthew 5:44-48 application, breaking performance-based identity, spiritual freedom


Perfect for anyone exhausted from trying to please everyone, trapped by fear of rejection, or ready to discover the security that comes from being loved with agape love by the God who IS love.
