	<itunes:summary>Thoughtful and engaging discussions of the Bible, church history, theology and spiritual discipline, offered with a warm balance of intellectual integrity and down-to-earth personality.  What emerges is a rich understanding of Christian faith as it has been understood and practiced across the centuries.  Kirk Winslow is Pastor for Adult Education and Spiritual Formation at Irvine Presbyterian Church, adjunct faculty at Fuller Theological Seminary, night owl, and overall decent guy.</itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[To embrace the idea that love stands at the center of the Christian life is to dive headfirst into paradox.  For love - of God, self, neighbor and enemy - is commanded as the principle duty of a disciple.  And yet if love is as we have described it - not merely a moral choice (to act “as if” we loved, regardless of our feelings), but a condition of the heart (agape in all its complexity, complete with affection, passion, devotion…) – then it transcends the powers of human volition.  We cannot, by willful effort, no matter how sincere or devout, force ourselves to love what we do not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The love of God is a love of deep affection, of raw connection and enduring attachment.  The love of God is the real deal.  And I think we must grasp this in order to know how completely we have been embraced.  And also to know the depth of the work to which we are called.  For if we are called to love our enemies – not merely do not hate them, do make moral choices where they are concerned, to act with regard, but to love as God has loved us – then we can do with nothing less than a transformation of the heart.   And suddenly we see with new clarity the work of spiritual maturity that lies before us.]]></description>
