Episode 7 – "First Love" In this heartfelt episode of A Joyful Word Podcast, Pastor Scott Beardsley and Ray Crouch dive into Revelation 2:1–7 and Jesus' message to the church in Ephesus. Though commended for their hard work, perseverance, and doctrinal discernment, the Ephesians had drifted from their first love. Together, Pastor Scott and Ray explore what it means to love Christ passionately and personally, not just theologically or through service. They reflect on how we as believers can rekindle that deep affection for Jesus that once burned bright. Whether you're weary in ministry, new in faith, or feeling spiritually dry, this episode calls you back to the heart of worship—loving Christ above all.
