Many Christians mistakenly believe that God draws near only after we have healed, matured, or overcome our struggles. In this episode, Donald E. Coleman continues the Beloved series by revealing a deeper truth: God meets us in our brokenness and Agape (loves) us there.

Drawing from Psalm 34:18, John 20:27, and Henri Nouwen’s teaching on beloved identity, we explore how Jesus revealed His wounds after the resurrection—and how His loving gaze toward Peter in a moment of shame demonstrates that our wounds are not disqualifying, but invitational.

This episode will help you:

· Let go of the belief that brokenness is failure.

· Understand how Jesus meets us in the places we hide.

· Learn to receive love in the exact places you feel least worthy of it.

· See your wounds as openings where intimacy with God can deepen.

· Begin to rest in a love that holds you even when you tremble.

If you long for a love that does not require you to be strong first, this episode is a quiet invitation:

You are Beloved, even in your brokenness.

Many believers understand blessing as something God gives, but few have experienced blessing as something God does—God sees us with Agape. In this episode of the Beloved series, Donald E. Coleman explores what it means to be Blessed, not because of what we achieve or become, but because of who we are in the heart of God.

Drawing from Numbers 6:25, Mark 10:16, and Henri Nouwen’s teaching on beloved identity, this episode invites listeners to rest in the truth that God’s gaze is Agape. We reflect on how Jesus blessed others by seeing them deeply—like the children He gathered in His arms, like Nathaniel under the fig tree, like Peter in the moment of failure—and how we are called to receive and live from this same blessing.

This episode will help you:

· Understand blessing as recognition, not reward.

· Let go of the need to perform or prove your worth.

· Receive God’s loving gaze in a personal and transformative way.

· Heal the parts of the heart that learned to hide or self-protect.

· Learn to bless others with the same gentleness Christ shows to us.

If you have ever struggled to receive Agape (Divine Love) without earning it, this episode offers a healing invitation:

“Let the Lord’s face shine upon you.”

Many believers understand God’s love intellectually, yet still struggle with the deeper question of the soul: Am I wanted? In this episode, our host, Donald E. Coleman, continues the Beloved series by exploring the truth that God not only loves us—He chooses us. He picks up from episode 216, Before Anything Else: You Are Beloved, released in November of 2025. Drawing from John 15:16, John 15:9, and Mark 3:13-14, we reflect on Jesus’ call to His disciples and how chosen-ness is rooted in relationship, not performance.

This episode will help you:

· Recognize that belovedness comes before calling.

· Understand how chosen-ness rests at the foundation of Christian identity.

. Understand how being Chosen invites you into an intimate relationship

· See how Jesus modeled a life grounded in being beloved and wanted by the God our Father.

· Let go of the need to earn acceptance, approval, or validation.

· Learn to rest in the truth that you are held in the heart of God.

If you have ever felt the pressure to prove yourself, compete for worth, or strive for affirmation, this episode invites you into a deeper, quieter, truer place: chosen-ness.

Come and hear the voice that says:
“I want you. You are mine. You belong here.”
