For God and Country: What It Truly Means to Love Like Christ | Reverend Joel Mooneyhan
In this special For God and Country bonus episode, Jenny Beth Martin is joined by Global Methodist Minister Joel Mooneyhan for a powerful Advent reflection on love, sacrifice, and reconciliation. Centering on the often-overlooked role of Joseph in the Christmas story, Reverend Mooneyhan explores what it truly means to love like Christ—placing others above oneself, protecting the vulnerable, and giving up dignity for the sake of love. As Christmas approaches, this conversation challenges listeners to reflect on Christ’s call to love not only our neighbors, but even our enemies, in a divided and broken world. Drawing from Scripture and the Apostle Paul’s teaching on agape love, this episode offers encouragement, hope, and a reminder that Christ’s love is available to all—especially those who feel unworthy or burdened.

Show Notes
As we enter the final week of Advent, Jenny Beth Martin welcomes Global Methodist Minister Joel Mooneyhan for a special For God and Country devotional focused on the theme of love.
In this episode, Reverend Mooneyhan reflects on the often-overlooked role of Joseph in the Christmas story and what his actions reveal about true, Christ-centered love. Together, Jenny Beth and Joel explore how biblical love goes far beyond emotion or sentiment—it is sacrificial, protective, and willing to give up dignity for the sake of others.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why Joseph’s response to Mary’s pregnancy is a powerful example of godly love
- How Scripture defines agape love as patient, selfless, and enduring
- What it truly means to love your neighbor—and your enemy—in a divided world
- Why Christ’s love is not earned, deserved, or limited by our failures
- Encouragement for anyone struggling with worth, forgiveness, or reconciliation
This conversation reminds us that Christmas is not just a celebration of Christ’s birth, but a call to live out His love in our daily lives—loving others as He first loved us.
