Choosing Love Today
Choosing Love Today is a podcast for real people trying to follow Jesus in the middle of real life. No fancy language, no preacher voice, and no “Mike’s opinions.” Every episode is grounded in Scripture — real answers from God’s Word applied to the real issues we face every day.
I’m Mike Morrison — a husband, dad, and regular guy learning as I go. Most days, faith isn’t shaped by big dramatic moments. It’s the small choices, the quiet ones, that form who we become. So each episode feels like we’re sitting at the kitchen table, opening the Bible together, talking honestly about life, hope, and what it looks like to choose love one day at a time.
If you’re looking for something real, simple, and rooted in Scripture, you’re in the right place.

This week’s Monday mini‑message comes from one of the clearest and most comforting statements Jesus ever made. In John 14:6, He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Not a way among many… not one truth in a sea of opinions… not part of life when things are going well. He says, I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life.

As we head into the July 4th weekend, here’s a short reminder about the kind of freedom that goes deeper than fireworks and cookouts. You can live in a free country and still feel trapped — and you can live in a pressured world and still walk in peace. Jesus said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” This 60–120 second encouragement is here to help you breathe, reset, and remember the freedom that can’t be taken away. Happy Fourth of July, friends.

In today’s episode, we step into the world Jesus entered — a world filled with tension, division, spiritual hunger, and people searching for hope. It wasn’t calm. It wasn’t simple. It wasn’t perfect. And Jesus stepped right into the middle of it.
This first part of our series looks at the cultural, political, and religious landscape of Jesus’ day and shows how deeply it connects to the world we live in now. The pressures, the confusion, the expectations — they’re not new. And the way Jesus responded then is the same way He meets us today: with clarity, compassion, and presence.
If your world feels messy, complicated, or heavy, this episode will remind you of something powerful:
Jesus doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. He steps into real life — right where you are.
Take a breath, open your heart, and let’s walk into the world Jesus entered… together.

In this episode, we slow down and look at the world Jesus walked into — a world full of tension, confusion, spiritual hunger, and competing expectations. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that the real battle wasn’t political or cultural, but spiritual. And when you understand that, the Gospels come alive in a whole new way. We explore the pressures, hopes, and misunderstandings of the people waiting for a Messiah, and we see how Jesus stepped right into the middle of it with clarity, compassion, and purpose. If you’ve ever wondered why Jesus was received the way He was — or why He was misunderstood by so many — this episode gives you the lens you need to read the Gospels with fresh eyes.

Today’s Touch Point is a simple reminder: You don’t have to be anybody else. Not more polished, not more impressive, not more put‑together. God works with the real you — the one He’s been shaping through real life.
Choosing love today starts with choosing to be the person God already made you to be.

this episode, we step across the bridge from the Old Testament into the New, and we watch the long‑awaited promise of God become a living, breathing Person. Galatians 4:4 tells us that Jesus came “when the fullness of time had come” — not early, not late, but right on time. We explore what that means, why God waited, and how the entire story of Scripture has been building toward this moment. If the Old Testament showed us the promise, the New Testament shows us the Person. This episode helps you feel the weight, the beauty, and the perfect timing of Jesus stepping into our world.

In this episode, we pause and look back at the road we’ve been walking together. We started in the Old Testament on purpose — not just because it’s the beginning of the Bible, but because it’s the foundation of the whole story God has been telling. Every promise, every pattern, every prophecy was pointing forward and whispering the same name… Jesus.
When you read the Scriptures closely, you discover Jesus wasn’t a surprise. He was the thread running underneath the entire story.
Now we step onto the bridge.
A bridge from promise to Person. From foreshadowing to fulfillment. From dreams to reality.
Galatians 4:4 tells us, “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son…” Not early. Not late. Right on time.
In Episode 6, we cross that bridge together and begin to see Jesus in the New Testament with fresh eyes — the Jesus we’ve been tracing in the shadows now stepping fully into the light.
Memory Verse: Galatians 4:4 Title: Jesus in the New Testament: From Person to Promise
Until then… Keep Choosing Love Today.

This Father’s Day weekend, here’s a simple reminder of the quiet, steady calling of a father. Not just providing… but guiding, shaping, and passing on God’s truth in the everyday moments. Proverbs 22:6 and Deuteronomy 6 remind us of the legacy fathers build one day at a time. Hope this encourages you today.
