Corner Conversations

In this episode, we wrestle with Jesus’ disruptive words in Matthew 5:43–48: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” What does “enemy” even mean in our context? Why is avoidance such a natural default? And how is Jesus’ call to be perfect not about flawless performance, but about becoming whole—marked by indiscriminate, agapē love? Together we reflect on how loving those it’s easiest to rationalize away isn’t weakness, but the solid foundation of a life rooted in Christ.
