#20 JACK | The Meaning of LoveSTEPHEN PHINNEY | Storyteller: Jack had always believed love was a feeling—fleeting, fragile, and often conditional. BUT, he learns the TRUTH.Bewitched by Beauty’s LieWelcome to "Jack's Celestial Quest," a podcast that delves into an epic journey of faith, courage, and transformative growth. In today's episode, Jack’s belief began to unravel the moment he stood face-to-face with sacrifice. On the edge of his journey, bruised by betrayal and wearied by false promises, Jack encountered a love that didn’t flatter—it fought. It didn’t seduce—it served. Real love, he discovered, wasn’t found in comfort or charm, but in covenant. It was the kind that bore wounds, carried burdens, and chose truth over ease. In that moment, Jack’s heart awakened—not to romance, but to redemption. The Lion of Judah had not merely called him to battle; He had called him to love like He does—with fire, with faithfulness, and without fear. Jack’s Tender DiscussionAs Jack sat beneath the ancient tree that marked the edge of the battlefield, the Lion of Judah approached—not with thunder, but with a quiet strength that made the earth still. Jack, weary from war and wounded by betrayal, asked the question that had haunted him: “What is love, if it breaks and fades?” The Lion’s eyes, fierce yet tender, met his gaze. “True love,” He said, “is not measured by ease or emotion. It is forged in sacrifice, sealed in covenant, and sustained by eternity. It does not flee in suffering—it abides. It does not demand—it gives. And it does not die—it resurrects.” Jack felt the weight of those words press into his soul like fire and balm, awakening something deeper than feeling—a calling. The Lion then placed His paw upon Jack’s shoulder, and the gold brick road shimmered with light. “You were not chosen to feel love,” He said, “but to become it.” In that moment, Jack saw every battle, every betrayal, every loss through a new lens—not as wounds to mourn, but as altars where eternal love was tested and proven. The Lion spoke again: “The love that sent Me to the cross is the love that now lives in you. It is not of this world, and it cannot be undone.” Jack bowed his head, not in defeat, but in reverence. He had not just learned about love—he had encountered its source. And from that day forward, every step he took was marked by the power of a love that could never be lost.
