What does it actually cost to love someone without condition?

We talk about unconditional love like it's an ideal to aspire to — but the longer you love someone through their worst moments, their worst decisions, and their worst versions of themselves, the more you realize just how demanding it truly is.

In this episode, we wrestle with what it means to love another person the way God loves us. Not a love that's contingent on behavior, reciprocity, or change — but one that holds steady even when it's painful, even when it's not returned, and even when every human instinct tells you to pull back.

Is unconditional love something we're actually capable of? Or does pursuing it require something beyond ourselves? We explore where the line is between loving without condition and losing yourself in the process — and why that distinction might matter more than we think.
