Synopsis
Can a simple concept shift your entire world?
Bob Goff certainly thinks so. When it comes to loving your neighbors, instead of focusing on having the "right answers" or checking the "right boxes," what if you decide to simply do love? To shamelessly show love and grace to those around you--what would that look like?
When Love Does, life gets interesting. Light and fun, unique and profound, the lessons drawn from Bob's life and attitude just might inspire you to be secretly incredible, too.
- What do you need space for in your life? Bob quits something every Thursday.
- Where are you faking it? Bob hilariously posed in a wax museum.
- Have you experienced God's audacious love? Bob facilitated an over-the-top marriage proposal...for a stranger.
- What fears keep you from your big adventure? Bob navigated the 2000-mile Transpacific Yacht Race without knowing how to navigate.
- What big idea do you wish you could pursue? Bob's love for people led to building a school in Uganda.

This is not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings. Bob's love takes action, just like Jesus did. Bob believes Love Does.

Synopsis
Love isn't a feeling. It's an activity. It's something you do. And participating in the act of love is the secret to understanding God's love--the secret to a life well lived.
Building on the foundation of the New York Times bestseller, Love Does, the Love Does video study (DVD/digital video sold separately) is a case study in love done--a love that's practical, functional, active. Not a love that has all the right answers. Not a love with ulterior motives. Not a love that's all talk or paralyzed by doubt. But a radically alive love that's an intentional participation in God's world.
How is that kind of love done?
The how is what this study is about. Real growth happens when you learn how to tap into the empowering, energizing love of God. Using it fills you. Risking it secures you. Giving it satisfies you.
Each of the five sessions in the Love Does video study explores a different aspect of God's active love through Bob Goff's teachings and stories:
- I'm With You - we've been given the invitation to love. Taking it seriously is where life meets faith.
- Free to Fail - exploring the nature of failure, how it works, and what God does with it.
- Audacious Love - understanding why receiving love is essential to giving love.
- Be Not Afraid - chasing out the anxieties that keep us from acting and living the life that Jesus has called us to.
- Follow Me - delving into how to bring our passions and plans together and bind them to God's plan.
This study guide provides teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible study, between-session activities and a practical application called Putting Love into Action, which gives you the opportunity to put the principles you have learned into real-life practice.
It's time to step off the ledge and fall into God's immeasurable love.
