While churches invest millions in programmes and presentations, learn why genuine love remains the only growth strategy that actually works.

Through powerful contrasts between empty state-of-the-art buildings and packed leaky halls, this episode exposes how we've professionalised love into committees and rotas, losing the magnetic authenticity that draws broken people. John 13:35 and Acts 4:32-34 reveal how the early church's explosive growth came not from clever marketing but from love so radical it shared everything – possessions, homes, lives.

From the heartbreaking story of an elderly woman eating Sunday lunch alone despite attending church for months to a small congregation bursting at the seams through genuine care, discover why people can spot the difference between religious duty and real love from miles away. Essential for church leaders and members wondering why their community isn't growing.

Scripture Reference: John 13:35, Acts 4:32-34, 1 John 3:18

Ready to trade religious politeness for magnetic love? Listen now and learn why costly love solves church growth naturally. Share with your church leadership team.
