ABOUT THE EPISODE
As we reject God and slouch towards Gomorrah, we find that the erotic "free love" that promised so much ultimately fails to deliver true love of neighbor. We also find that God does not love everyone in the same way. Listen to Ardel Caneday, David Schrock, and Stephen Wellum discuss Dr. Caneday's longform essay, "The True Nature of Love, God's and Ours."
