What is Love? Real Answers, Hard Facts and The Secret

In this heartfelt episode, Kembala Evans takes to the streets and a college campus across Florida and Georgia to explore a timeless question: What is love? Through candid interviews with everyday people of all ages (20-85) and backgrounds, she uncovers the different ways love is defined, experienced, and how love has shaped their lives.

Kembala also reveals what Americans think about love from a recent YouGov survey. And other stats on what Americans think about true love and marriage. Some of this may surprise you, especially when it comes to relationships.

She closes sharing the powerful impact Dr. Leo Buscaglia (“Dr. Love”) had on teaching others about the power of love. 

Tune in and be inspired to reflect on what love means to you—and to choose love. 

Key Takeaways:

• The many faces of love: from romantic to platonic, from self-love to appreciation of nature, from unbelief to belief.
• Personal stories of long-term relationships, family bonds, strong faith, and the power of caring actions.
• Love is both a feeling and an action, shown through commitment, caring, and respect.

• True love often starts with loving yourself—self-love enables us to love others fully.
• Love extends beyond romance into every aspect of life.
• Choosing love gives our lives more meaning.
