One Love, Three Kinds of Stories

Transforming Love is a collection of stories and articles about God’s love. That’s a topic that has been written about for millennia but whose limits have yet to be reached! Because we can’t speak to the entirety of something so vast, these are our three areas of focus.

God's Love Is For You

These are stories about God’s love for you. The Christian journey begins with the recognition that you are unconditionally, irrevocably, ridiculously loved by God just as you are. Whoever you are, wherever you’ve been, whatever you’ve done in the course of your life, you are already loved and accepted.

God's Love Is For Sharing

These are stories about loving others. God’s love is like a birthday cake: it’s something that’s meant to be shared and enjoyed with others. Sure, you could try to keep it all for yourself but love only gets better when you invite others to share in it with you!

God's Love Is For Action

These are stories about love in action. Jesus didn’t just sit around and talk about loving people. He went out and fed people who were hungry, healed people who were sick, and welcomed people who had been rejected. It might not seem revolutionary, but it’s active love like this changes the world for the better.
