Am I Loved | The Core: Questions that Drive Us Part 4
About This Message
Speaker: David Reneau
Summary:
"Hello, can you hear me?" We often think of Adele’s lyrics as just a song about a breakup, but they actually reveal the deepest ache of the human heart. Whether we are calling a thousand times or sitting in a room full of people, the question "Am I loved?" often sounds like: "Are you listening? Do you see me? Do you know me?"
In part four of our series, The Core, Pastor David Reneau looks at the tragic story of Leah in Genesis. Caught in a marriage where she was unwanted and a home where she was ignored, Leah tried to earn her husband's affection through performance and transactions. Her story is a mirror for anyone who has ever settled for the sloppy seconds of love instead of the real thing.
If you find yourself stuck in cycles of codependency, over-giving to the point of burnout, or feeling like you have to be perfect to be wanted, this message is for you. Discover how to move from a scramble for attention to the deep, counter-conditional love of a God who sees you, knows you, and treasures you exactly as you are.
In this message, we discuss:
Why indifference is the "kryptonite" for those asking this core question.
The three unhealthy love patterns: Codependency, Transactional Love, and Wounded Love.
The two archetypes of love: The Partner and The Counselor.
Practical steps to use your voice and set healthy boundaries in your relationships.
