Topic: God Speaks Your Love Language: How to Feel and Reflect God's Love
Episode No: 29
On Today's Episode:
Dr. Gary Chapman says that the God of the universe speaks your love language and your love language shapes your expressions of love for Him. You'll learn how you can give and receive God's love through the five love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. And as you begin to identify the variety of languages God uses to speak love to you and others, you can learn to speak lovingly back to God and those around you. No matter what love language you prefer, you will become more deeply connected with God and watch this bond transform all of your relationships.
Interview Topics:
An overview of "The 5 Love Languages" book series and the book "God Speaks Your Love Language."
How we best communicate with God
How does God discipline us through the love language
How does understanding our love language as a human help us to better understand God divine love for us
Does our love language change over time
How the release of the book relates to the current state of affairs with many families suffering through the harsh economic crisis (2009)
What is the one key thing readers will take away from the book
3 Principals For Success:
The awareness that Christianity is a love relationship with God. It's not a religion in the strictest sense. Religion is a plan, a system of thinking and a system of doing, created by man. And they are good; many religions have good things; you do this, you don't do this, and those are useful guidelines. Christianity in its essence not a list of things we do and don't do, it's a love relationship with God. And if we see it as that we'll understand and experience how it looks like; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It's not a Sunday thing; it's a daily thing, a love relationship with God.

Quotes and Notes from Episode:
Christianity in its essence not a list of things we do and don't do, it's a love relationship with God.
What makes me feel loved doesn't make another person feel loved.
Each of us has a primary love language; one of those five speaks more deeply to us than the other 4. And if you don't speak your spouses' primary love language they will not feel loved, even though you are speaking some of the other love languages.
Listen to your complaints because what you complain about in a relationship reveals the heart, it's what you're longing for inside, it's what makes you feel loved.
Conversion experiences (when a person becomes a Christian) often parallels a person's love language.
God loves us enough that He tends to speak our language to draw us to Himself.
After we become Christian, we tend to express our love to God in our love language.
Children also have a love language.
God… often uses our love language as a means of discipline to us.
Discipline is not the only correction; discipline is also often turning people in another direction.
Just like in human relationships, a love relationship with God can become a ritual.
God never intended that our relationship with Him would grow stale or be ritual. He wants it to be alive and vibrant.
Learn some different dialects of your love language.
Learn to speak the other love languages.
Our love language tends to stay with us for a lifetime.
Anytime we're going through a crisis or a time of struggle we tend to be more open to God.
It's not about how many things we have; it's really about our relationship with God.
The important thing is that I walked with God and I had good relationships with people.
