What does a year long experiment of living out 1 Corinthians 13 ❤️ (the love chapter) look like?

If you’re like me and many others, you may have had 1 Corinthians 13 read at your wedding. And more than likely, you’ve also heard it at a wedding. However, this love chapter was actually intended to the people of Corinth by the Apostle Paul, encouraging them to love like Christ.

Just in case you haven’t read it recently:

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7, 13

My conversation with Kim Sorrelle today chronicles her year-long quest to figure out the true meaning of love, a sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always enlightening journey that led to life-changing discoveries found mainly on the streets of Haiti.

Kim Sorrelle is the director of a humanitarian organization, a popular speaker, and the author of two books. Her first book, Cry Until You Laugh, is about her breast cancer experience and her husband’s battle with pancreatic cancer after being diagnosed four months apart. Love Is is her second book.

One thing Kim mentioned at the end of our conversation that this is something small groups and bible study groups have been doing together. As you listen in, keep this in mind as an option for your small group.
