Realism of God’s Love | Overcoming Skepticism & Unbelief | Episode 318

Can God’s love really be this good—or is that just sentimental fantasy? In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine goes straight into the heart of a jaded, skeptical age and shows how God’s love is actually the most realistic thing in the universe. Drawing from John 18, John 1, John 17, John 6, Hebrews 4, and the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, she explores how truth (aletheia) is not just a concept, but a Person—Jesus—who comes full of grace and truth to bring spiritual healing to our wounded, distrustful hearts. When life has been brutal, “realism” can start to look like cynicism: we call it wisdom, but inside we’ve lost wonder, childlikeness, and the ability to hope. Catherine gently exposes how unbelief, jadedness, and skepticism are heart conditions, not moral failures—and how they keep us from experiencing God, hearing His voice, and stepping into the spiritual transformation we’re actually hungry for. She unpacks the different “soils” of the heart: hardened paths, shallow gravel, thorny distractions, and finally good, rich soil that receives the seed of God’s word and bears real fruit. You’ll discover how seeing God as punisher wrecks mental health, while seeing Him as He truly is—Healer, Lover, Truth Himself—brings freedom, sanity, and joy. This is about identity in Christ and learning to be teachable again, to trade “I’ve seen it all” for blissful eyes and delighted ears that can receive fresh revelation in a skeptical world. Practical takeaway: Ask Holy Spirit to highlight one area where you’ve become jaded, skeptical, or shut down. Write it down, and pray: “Jesus, I believe—help my unbelief. Heal this part of my heart and make it good soil for Your truth.” Revisit this with Him over the coming days and notice what begins to soften. 💖 To support the ministry with tax-deductible donations: https://catherinetoon.com/support/ Please like, share, and subscribe — a little thing that makes a big difference!!
