What does it really mean to love God with all of your heart, soul, and might—when life feels exhausting, your attention is fractured, and your love feels far from wholehearted?
In this episode, host Kate gently untangles the layers of baggage we often carry into our relationship with God—past hurt, fear of failure, idols we didn’t even realize we had—and invites us into the kind of love that isn’t forced, performative, or crushing.
Rooted in Deuteronomy 6:5 and rich Hebrew word study, this episode helps you:
- Understand what it means to love God with your levav, nephesh, and me’od
- Recognize the idols that divide your heart—and how to return to God quickly
- Experience the freedom of loving God in response to His deep, unshakable ahavah for you
- Discover that abiding in God’s Word is the way we become wholehearted lovers of God
If your love for God feels weary, divided, or pressured—listen now. This episode will remind you: You were chosen first. And you’re safe to love Him fully, because you’ve always been fully loved.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
