In this special post‑Valentine’s episode of The Collected Podcast, Jes invites listeners into a tender exploration of Jesus’ love—steady, personal, and woven through every page of Scripture. Drawing from the Names of God and the sweeping story of redemption, she reflects on a Savior who creates with intention, fights for His people, and stays closer than we can imagine. As she shares “love notes” from both the Old and New Testaments, this episode becomes a gentle reminder that you are pursued, valued, strengthened, and never alone. If your heart is craving encouragement, reassurance, or a fresh encounter with God’s nearness, this conversation offers a warm and hope‑filled place to rest.
