What does it really mean to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself? We walk through Matthew 22 and Deuteronomy 6, look at the Shema’s all-consuming call to love, and connect it to Jesus’ teaching on obedience and neighbor love.

What you’ll learn:

- The Greatest Commandment and why “all” is the standard: all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.

- How Deuteronomy 6 (the Shema) frames an all-consuming love for God that shapes your thoughts, words, and actions.

- Why loving your neighbor proves your love for God and how self-love affects the way you treat others.

- How Jesus ties love to obedience: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

How do you find joy when life feels overwhelming? In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, we dive into the book of James to uncover the powerful truth that trials are not meant to break us but to build steadfast faith.

James urges believers to “count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds” because the testing of faith produces endurance and maturity. Drawing from her own experiences and the Word of God, Jaime shows how joy is not a denial of pain but a choice to trust in God’s promises.

Through scripture, personal stories, and encouragement, you’ll learn:

- Why trials strengthen and refine your faith

- How asking God for wisdom brings direction in times of uncertainty

- Why joy is a powerful source of spiritual strength

- What it means to live out your faith with action, not just words

- How Jesus Himself endured suffering “for the joy set before Him” (Hebrews 12:2)

If you are weary, discouraged, or facing challenges, this message will remind you that God is faithful. Sorrow is temporary, but His joy is eternal.

Are we confusing love with compromise?

In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, Jaime tackles one of today’s most urgent issues: the cultural redefinition of “love.” From the misuse of words like compassion and inclusion to the dangerous lies about morality, gender, and truth, Jaime exposes how these distortions are leading many away from God’s design.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, Jaime reminds us that true love rejoices with the truth and challenges Christians to put away childish thinking, grow in spiritual maturity, and stand firm on God’s Word in a world that calls darkness light.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why biblical love cannot be separated from truth
• How cultural narratives twist God’s definitions of love and compassion
• The danger of “childish reasoning” in today’s Church and society
• How to stand strong without compromising God's Word
• Scripture reference: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
