Can you love God and even enjoy Him when you struggle with sin and feel like you're constantly falling short? If your faith feels more like pressure than relationship, you're not alone. You can move beyond guilt and performance into a life-giving connection with a God who isn't disappointed in you—but invites you to know Him right where you are.If you've ever felt like something is missing in your relationship with God, you're not alone. Often, we learn how to perform for God but not how to love Him. Somewhere along the way, faith became a checklist: read your Bible, say your prayers, join a small group, serve the community, try harder, do better. We do honorable things, but beneath all the activity, we feel distant, exhausted, and unsure if we truly know the God we claim to follow.How to Love God confronts this quiet tension and offers a better way forward—one built not on performance but on relationship. With honesty, humor, and biblical depth, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda 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.Through powerful storytelling and practical insight, JP reveals that God isn't waiting for perfection—He's inviting you into His presence to find freedom in Christ and to discover joy and peace that are beyond our comprehension. In this book, you'll discover how to:break free from performance-based Christianityreplace shame and spiritual pressure with God's gracemove from knowing about God to actually knowing Himexperience real intimacy with God—not just routine religious habitsobey and serve from the Spirit's overflow, not out of obligationfind 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.
