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.”

Key Scriptures

- Matthew 22:36–40 — The Greatest Commandment and love for neighbor.

- Deuteronomy 6:4–6 — The Shema and loving God with all.

- Luke 10:25–37 — Who is my neighbor? The Good Samaritan.

- John 14:15 — Love expressed through obedience.

Apply the message

- Heart check: Identify the thoughts you entertain that do not honor God. Replace them with truth and commit them to action.

- Mind your words and deeds: Let love shape what you say and what you do, even when culture pushes back.

- Neighbor love in action: Practice one concrete act of service today to redirect attention from self to others.

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

In this powerful and sobering episode, Jaime Luce takes us deep into the Word, examining the story of Jephthah in Judges 11 and the seriousness of making vows to God. From Old Testament covenant culture to personal testimony, Jaime emphasizes the weight of our words, the spiritual consequences of broken promises, and the blessing of obedience. This isn’t milk... it’s meat. It’s a spiritual workout designed to grow your faith, sharpen your awareness, and deepen your reverence for the God who hears every word you speak.

Key Scriptures:

• Judges 11:1–40 (The story of Jephthah and his vow)
• Ecclesiastes 5:4–8
• Deuteronomy 23:23
• Matthew 5:33–37
• Numbers 30:2
• Acts 5:1–10 (Ananias and Sapphira)
• Proverbs 18:21

Main Takeaways:

• Your words have power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
• God takes vows seriously. A careless promise can bring unintended consequences—even when made in desperation.
• Even believers in moral decline understood the seriousness of vows. The closing chapters of Judges reveal that even wayward Israelites wouldn’t break an oath.
• Personal testimony affirms biblical truth. Jaime shares a powerful story of how her husband made a vow to God—and what happened when they delayed fulfilling it.

Words shape your future. Whether spoken to God or over your own life, words matter. Jaime shares the inspirational story of marathoner Jesse Itzler and Navy SEAL Chad Wright to illustrate how declaration fuels endurance.

📌 Quotes to Remember:

“Don’t make a vow if you don’t intend to keep it.”

“The words you speak have the power to bless your life or curse it.”

“God didn’t forget what he promised... did you?”

“Be a person of your word, because you serve a God who honors His.”

What does it really mean to stand in faith, especially when everything around you feels uncertain, overwhelming, and unresolved? In this powerful episode, Jaime Luce continues exploring God's strategies through the story of Gideon and brings insight from Judges 6–8, Exodus 14, 2 Chronicles 20, Joshua 3, and Ephesians 6.

Jaime shares a deeply personal story about marching around her unfinished pool, the revelation her mother received while reading Joshua, and how these real-life moments connect to the biblical strategy of standing, of showing up, taking position, and letting God fight for you even when you’re still “getting wet.”
