What Is Love? (And Why Most People Get It Wrong)

What is love… really?

We talk about love all the time, but when you actually stop and try to define it, it’s not as clear as we think. Is love just a feeling? Is it doing what makes you happy? Is it always affirming someone?

In this episode of the Speaking Your Lingo podcast, we slow down and ask a deeper question: what is love—and what does it actually look like in real life?

We break down some of the most common ideas about love in today’s culture and show why they don’t hold up when life gets hard. Then we build a clearer, more grounded definition of love—one that goes beyond feelings, beyond convenience, and beyond cultural trends.

If you’ve ever wondered:
• Is love just a feeling?
• Does love always mean affirmation?
• How do I actually love people well?
• What does the Bible say about love?

This conversation is for you.

Key Idea:
Love is not just something you feel,
it’s desiring and pursuing what is best for another.
