Agape, Love in Action
Agape is a Greek word that means self-sacrificial love, it transcends all other love with its unconditional nature placing the needs of others before ourselves. I (Theresa Mitchell, the founder of Agape Outreach Inc. working with the homeless and needy) have dedicated my life to unconditionally making a difference in the world and hopefully inspiring a few others along the way. This podcast, Agape, Love in Action delves into the lives of people that are making a difference and unpacks what keeps them inspired to help others even when it hurts. If you give too much or have questions on how to shift from a job to a life of making a difference then this podcast is for you. If you are keen to start a charity or help people professionally in any field, then this podcast is for you. Every week we will have another amazing story of someone making a difference in the world. I strongly believe that if we see the pain in the world, then we need to become the love that is missing. Agape Love in Action has 4 seasons a year with 10 episodes per season.
