Why Can't We Just Agree That Love Is Love?
Episode 7 Description: Why Can’t We Just Agree That Love Is Love?
“Love is love.”
It’s one of the most common and compelling phrases in our culture today. But what do we actually mean when we say it? Is love simply about sincere feelings and personal happiness, or is there something deeper that gives love its meaning and purpose?
In this episode of 10 Questions, we tackle one of the most sensitive and important conversations of our time: “Why Can’t We Just Agree That Love Is Love?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the teachings of Scripture, we explore what the Bible says about love, relationships, identity, and God’s design for human flourishing.
We’ll discuss:
Why our culture has made romantic love central to identity
The difference between love as a feeling and love as a commitment to another person’s good
Why Christians believe truth and love belong together
What the Bible teaches about sex, marriage, and human relationships
Why following Jesus calls every person—not just some people—to surrender their desires to God
How God’s definition of love might be bigger, deeper, and more beautiful than our culture often imagines
This episode isn’t about winning arguments or attacking people. It’s about thoughtfully asking a deeper question:
Who gets to define love—our feelings, our culture, or the God who created us?
