Do you feel like something is missing in your relationship with God? If so, you're not alone. Most of us have learned how to perform for God but not how to love him. Somewhere along the way, faith becomes a checklist: read your Bible, say your prayers, join a small group, serve the community, try harder. Beneath all the activity, we feel distant, exhausted, and unsure if we truly know the God we claim to follow.
In How to Love God, author and pastor Jonathan "JP" Pokluda confronts this quiet tension and offers a better way forward—one that is built not on performance but on relationship. With honesty, humor, and biblical depth, he unpacks the greatest commandment—to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength—and shows why it's not a burden to carry but an invitation to receive.
God isn't waiting for perfection. He is inviting you into His presence. He wants you to experience freedom in Christ and discover a peace and joy beyond your comprehension. You can:
- Break free from performance-based Christianity
- Replace shame and spiritual pressure with God's grace
- Move from knowing about God to actually knowing Him
- Experience real intimacy with God—not just routine religious habits
- Obey and serve from the Spirit's overflow, not out of obligation
- Find lasting satisfaction in God's presence, security in His love
It's time to stop checking boxes and start cultivating a relationship that changes everything. When you truly understand God's heart for you, you won't just follow Him—you'll love Him more than ever.
