Extra Grace Required: How to Love Difficult People | Dr. Winfred Neely

Loving others is easy—until someone hurts us, challenges us, or tests our patience. How do we respond with Christlike love when we just don't feel it?

In this episode of the Coffee and Bible Time podcast, Dr. Winfred Neely joins Ellen Krause to share what the Bible teaches about agape love and how we can love others through the power of the Holy Spirit, even when it's hard.

In this episode, we'll discuss:

• What agape love really means and how God models it for us
• How to love those who hurt us or whom we strongly disagree with
• Why loving others is an act of obedience, not just a feeling
• How to set boundaries while showing Christlike love
• Practical ways to grow in love through prayer, Scripture, and everyday acts of kindness
