Live to Love with Jesus

“Of all the training or skills we can provide our families, teaching people how to love is a much neglected topic.   As a pastor for over 35 years and a homeschool educator, Norm Wakefield’s material on Live to Love has been one of the most effective and insightful tools I have seen in years.  We have used his materials for church and family discipleship and found it highly profitable and applicable.”

I can not say enough about the Live to Love Conference! Norm presented this material in the setting of a Friday night and Saturday Marriage Conference at our church. I am not sure if you are considering it for a marriage / family conference or for a broader audience. Honestly, you can’t go wrong either way. The teaching that Norm brought was Godly, firmly rooted in significant amounts of Scripture, timely, and powerful. I was impacted and convicted in not just my marriage but in every other relationship in my life. I know this is also true for my wife and countless other couples that we have spoken to. Norm also spoke at our Sunday morning service… I have heard nothing but positive reports from that as well. The word he brought will continue to “ripple” in our body for quite sometime. Norm’s teaching style walks the listener from one scripturally grounded truth to the next. It’s easy to listen, easy to follow and extraordinarily challenging to hear. But, I feel like everyone left challenged and hopeful— not dismayed or defeated. We would, and hope to, have Norm back at Heritage soon. On the logistics side, Norm could not be easier to work with through the entire process.

God used Norm Wakefield through his story of Amanda 10 years ago to open my eyes to the most essential and transformational concept of the message of Jesus: Do not self-love, but love with the selfless sacrificial love that I have loved you with. In short: Love as I have loved you!

My life changed, my relationships changed, my understanding of the Bible changed, my ministry changed… since that most defining moment in my life I can say with confidence that I have heaven in my home! This is what ‘living to love like and with Jesus’ brings!
When you live to know and love God and live to love with Jesus, as this book so masterfully displays, you will live the transformed life with an inexpressible freedom and joy… as the Holy Spirit floods you with God’s love to live for the Glory of God!

I totally throw my weight behind the Live to Love movement that Norm started, and encourage everyone to start every day with his suggested prayer:
Father in heaven, thank You for another day of life to live to know and love You and to love with Jesus. Please anoint and fill me with the Holy Spirit, the presence and power of Christ, so that I can love and trust You and love those You put in my path today, for Your glory.
