Winning Souls, Not Arguments: Biblical Love in a Triggered Culture | VOR EP 143

Are we more interested in winning arguments than winning souls?

In this episode of Voices of Revival, Bradley sits down with Pastor Cotey Hembree of Freedom Point Church in Middletown, Ohio to talk about biblical love in a triggered culture. They dive into why so many people say, “There’s no hate like Christian love,” and what it really means to preach truth in love without compromise or cruelty.

They unpack:
🔥 Why prayer (not production) is the line between relationship and lukewarm religion
🔥 The danger of building ministries without a real prayer life
🔥 What true worship is beyond guitars, lights, and setlists
🔥 How to love people deeply while refusing to affirm sin
🔥 The difference between ministering from open wounds, scabs, and scars
🔥 A powerful testimony of long-term friendship and transformation from the LGBTQ+ community
🔥 Why the Church must get back to doing it for the one – the starfish on the shore

They close by reading 1 Corinthians 13, reclaiming what love actually is: patient, kind, truthful, protective, enduring – not soft, passive, or compromising.

If you’re wrestling with how to stand on Scripture, love people well, and navigate a culture that’s easily offended, this episode will challenge and anchor you.
