  • 012 - The Role of Love with Paul Zolman
    Dec 24 2024

    Paul Zolman has created a new way to demonstrate the principles of the love languages. It's a profound way to learn all five love languages to give them away. By giving them away, your vision will improve to the point that you can see them coming your way and respond appropriately. The system is so easy that even young children can be trained in this love giving system. Spoiler alert: it's a game where everyone wins.

    In this thought-provoking episode, we will hear the inspiring story of Paul Zolman, author of The Role of Love and creator of a dice game designed to master the five love languages in a unique way. Paul shares how his faith in Christ and a journey of healing from an abusive childhood led him to redefine the purpose of love in relationships. Moving beyond the self-focused narrative often associated with the love languages, Paul challenges us to become fluent in all five—not for personal fulfillment, but as a means to love and serve others in alignment with God’s teachings. Discover how his biblical approach to love offers practical tools to heal relationships, grow in faith, and reflect Christ’s love to the world.

    Join us as Paul unpacks how love can be a powerful catalyst for spiritual transformation and unity within families, churches, and communities. Through powerful insights and heartfelt stories, Paul shares strategies for replacing anger with love, finding good even in difficult circumstances, and loving the unlovable with the grace of God. Whether you’re looking to deepen your faith, improve your relationships, or understand the role of love in your spiritual journey, this episode offers profound wisdom and actionable steps to start loving like Christ today.

    Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love.

    According to Paul: “So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me.”
