In this episode, Shane Lingo reacts to a powerful clip from Voddie Baucham titled “Thou Shalt Be Nice?” and it challenges how many people think about love.

Many reduce love to being “nice,” agreeable, or non-confrontational. But is that actually what the Bible teaches?

Looking at 2 Corinthians 10:5–6, where Paul the Apostle talks about destroying arguments and taking every thought captive, Shane unpacks a side of love that often gets ignored, the hard side.

In this video, Shane breaks down:
• What Paul meant in context
• Why ideas (not people) are the real battlefield
• The difference between loving someone and avoiding truth
• Why biblical love sometimes has to confront, correct, and challenge

If your version of love never deals with error, it may not be love; it may just be avoidance.

Real love tells the truth… even when it’s uncomfortable.

What is love… really?

We talk about love all the time, but when you actually stop and try to define it, it’s not as clear as we think. Is love just a feeling? Is it doing what makes you happy? Is it always affirming someone?

In this episode of the Speaking Your Lingo podcast, we slow down and ask a deeper question: what is love—and what does it actually look like in real life?

We break down some of the most common ideas about love in today’s culture and show why they don’t hold up when life gets hard. Then we build a clearer, more grounded definition of love—one that goes beyond feelings, beyond convenience, and beyond cultural trends.

If you’ve ever wondered:
• Is love just a feeling?
• Does love always mean affirmation?
• How do I actually love people well?
• What does the Bible say about love?

This conversation is for you.

Can you trust your feelings to tell you what’s true?
Or could they actually be leading you in the wrong direction?

We live in a culture that constantly tells us to “follow your heart,” “trust your feelings,” and “live your truth.”

But what if your feelings aren’t as reliable as you’ve been told?

In this episode of the Speaking Your Lingo Podcast, Shane Lingo explores the role emotions should actually play in discovering truth. Through personal stories, cultural examples, and biblical wisdom, this episode challenges the idea that feelings should define reality and offers a better way forward.
