What to do with Boova: can you love someone without liking them?
- Can you love someone the way Jesus calls you to without liking them?
The debut of a new advice segment named for Boova (speaker-2 in the transcript; other hosts address him as 'Boova' on air). He brings a real disagreement with his girlfriend in Madagascar: she holds you cannot love someone biblically without liking them; he holds you can. The hosts side with him: 'like' is minute-by-minute (do I want to be in this room right now), love is the long haul (would I stand in front of the gun for you). They cite Jesus sending away crowds he had just healed, John wanting to call down fire on the Samaritans, 'Get behind me, Satan' to Peter, and 1 Corinthians 13 love that keeps no record of wrongs — noting practically that love doesn't mean forgetting who burglarized you. The episode ends the segment teasing Boova's 'What to do with Boova' name.
