In this inaugural episode of the Faith, Hope, and Love podcast, host Michael Whitehouse dives deep into the iconic passage of 1 Corinthians 13. This passage, often quoted in weddings and known for its beautiful depiction of love, is explored to uncover its true meaning in the context of faith, hope, and love.

Michael begins by discussing the significance of these three virtues, using insights from the original Greek language to provide a richer understanding of the text. He explains the different Greek words for love—agape, philia, eros, storge, xenia, and philautia—and how each contributes to our understanding of Paul's message in 1 Corinthians 13.
