In a world increasingly divided by screens and self-centered distractions, ‘Why I Love’ invites you to rediscover the profound truth: true connection begins with loving yourself. Drawing from Jesus Christ’s timeless teaching—’Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself’—this podcast explores why we’re here: to learn to embrace who we are, flaws and all, so we can extend genuine care to others. Each episode dives into real stories of transformation, practical tips for breaking free from digital dependencies, and heartfelt discussions on building unity in a fragmented society. Whether you’re navigating personal insecurities, relationship challenges, or the pull of modern isolation, join us to uncover the ‘So Much More’ beyond the self. Tune in for inspiration, reflection, and actionable insights that empower you to love boldly—starting within.
We often think of love as something we give. We pour ourselves out for others, serve, sacrifice, and show up—all while quietly starving for the very love we refuse to accept. In this episode, we explore the counterintuitive truth that learning to receive love is the foundation of self-love and neighborly love. Drawing from Jesus’ command to ‘love your neighbor as yourself,’ we unpack how our discomfort with being loved—whether from God, friends, or family—reveals deep insecurities and blocks our capacity to love authentically. Through a personal story about a friend’s simple act of kindness that I almost rejected, we’ll examine why receiving feels vulnerable, how it connects to our view of God, and why learning to say ‘yes’ to love transforms how we love others. You’ll walk away with practical steps to practice receiving love today, breaking the cycle of burnout and isolation, and discovering that being loved is not selfish—it’s sacred.
