[00:00:02]Hi, this is Justin.

[00:00:03]Today on Theocast, we're talking about the Christian life, and in particular, we're going to ask the question: what's love got to do with it?

[00:00:10]Love seemed to be a big deal to Jesus and to the apostles, but oftentimes, if we were to ask people to make a list of the most important things in the Christian life, what they need to be focusing

[00:00:19]on and doing, love would be conspicuously missing, or certainly wouldn't be very close to the top of the list for many.

[00:00:26]We discuss that in the regular podcast, and then when we make our way over into the members' episode, we consider the fact that Twitter, Christian Twitter in particular, is often mean and lacks grace, and how that's sadly true

[00:00:40]in the church oftentimes as well.

[00:00:42]We think about how a lack of an appropriate emphasis on loving others leads to that problem.

[00:00:48]We hope this conversation is helpful to you.

[00:01:46]Our brother Jimmy Bueller is unable to be with us today, so you're stuck with the two of us.

[00:01:51]John, it's good to be on here with you, man.

[00:01:53]And since there's only two of us, I suppose you're going to be doing some heavy lifting today, not just in terms of introducing the topic, but also and giving us some kind of update that the people will find
