In this episode, John and Arden dive into the powerful message Jesus gave to the Church of Ephesus in Revelation. They explore how this church was praised for their hard work but also rebuked for losing their love. They discuss the dangerous trap of focusing on truth without love and why it’s so important to keep both. They challenge you to reflect on your own heart and ask: Have you lost your first love for Jesus? ______________________________________ FREE Show Notes Here: https://page.church.tech/c30bf9ac ______________________________________ Click here to grab your copy of John's new book, "You Are Called": youarecalled.com ______________________________________ Support this podcast by becoming a Patron here (tax-deductible): https://3szn.short.gy/JBgive
