How Love Responds to What’s Broken (#1055)

Wayne and Kyle explore how to live out of love, especially when in conflicted situations. Drawing from Wayne and Tobie’s recent How Does Love Make Right? seminar, they walk through seven ways love can respond to hurt and injustice: presence, truth, impact, responsibility, protection, restoration, and freedom. The goal is not to control people or force an outcome, but to learn how to act from the fullness of God’s love rather than fear, scarcity, or self-protection. Along the way, they reflect on boundaries, honest apologies, safe relationships, arrogance, and the challenge of telling the truth without weaponizing it. Love does not ignore what is broken, nor does it pretend every situation can be fixed on demand. It helps us see clearly, own what is ours, protect what matters, and make room for restoration wherever it is possible.

• Living Out of Just Love —
  1. Presence: Am I responding from God’s fullness or my own fear?

  3. Impact: Who is being diminished, excluded, controlled, or harmed?
  4. Responsibility: What belongs to me to own or repair?
  5. Protection: What boundary or intervention may be needed?
  6. Restoration: What might help restore life, dignity, agency, or wholeness?
  7. Freedom: Can I act in love without controlling the outcome?
