​Loving as Loved is the first module in the Loving the Jesus Way series, and teaches you how to experience being loved by God, and how to love God and others well in response. Our events are designed to be just a taste of what our modules offer. This guidebook includes teaching outlines and activity pages for shifting our daily focus to being loved first, and two practical activities that will help you deepen your daily experience of being loved by God. 

Jesus said that his disciples were to be identified by “having love for one another” (John 13:35). However, current research indicates that a high percentage of those outside the Christian faith rarely describe Christians as those who love one another or people in general. Rather, they mostly describe Christians in derogatory terms. The purpose of this doctoral project is both to identify some possible reasons why this disparity exists and to propose a solution to help reverse this trend
