Ep 121: The Beloved (GH)

What does it mean to experience God’s love, not merely believe in it? In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 120, “Beloved by God.” Season 6 is exploring Jesus as the object of our formation, and this episode presses deeper into one of Jesus’ most foundational realities: He lived from the experience of being beloved by the Father. The conversation centers on the difference between intellectual agreement and heart experience. We may believe theologically that God loves us, provides for us, calls us His children, and invites us into His family. But our hearts may tell a different story. Anxiety, insecurity, shame, disappointment, illness, financial stress, grief, and suffering often reveal places where our hearts have not yet experienced what our minds say is true. Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc share personal stories about provision, insecurity, chronic illness, unmet expectations, fatherhood, mentoring, spiritual friendship, and what it means to look back over our stories and recognize God’s presence even when we could not see Him at the time.

Experiencing God’s Love

The guys head back into the Greenhouse to explore what it means to live like the beloved.

Along the way, they wrestle with the difference between intellectual agreement and heart experience, and with the need for both for a “complete belief.” This leads to vulnerable, transparent storytelling, as well as to what it means to experience God’s love when life doesn’t go our way.

Come alongside for this very personal episode! This is a continuation of Episode 120.

Is God Partial? Spiritual First Class and the Love of God | Ep 146

What if you believe God loves everyone equally, but somewhere deep in your heart, you’re not so sure? In Episode 146, Brian explores the hidden idea that God is partial—that some people receive greater affection, access, or favor because they are more successful, useful, disciplined, or spiritually mature. We’ll examine how this idea surfaces through performance, suffering, comparison, spiritual celebrity, and our relationships with others—and how deep discipleship invites us to experience God’s love as a gift rather than something we earn.
