In recent podcasts Brayden and Tali have been talking about disciplines that help us grow in love for The Bridegroom. Building on this theme, they now explore the importance of The Word of God. Committing to these things takes focused effort. In time though we find that these disciplines turn to delight.

Love and Purity 23: Growing in Love Through Prayer

Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
On a human level, the betrothal season allows a time of getting to know one another through communication. Physically being together is put on hold while faithfulness and intimacy are cultivated spirit to spirit. Spiritually, this time of betrothal is one of growing in love through prayer and allowing the love letters of heaven to deeply impact our hearts. This is a difficult yet sweet time as our love is tested and we receive the blessing that Yeshua pronounced on those who though having not seen still believe

Love and Purity 20: Sukkot and Wilderness Joy!
Tuesday Oct 29, 2019
Tuesday Oct 29, 2019
After celebrating the fall feast of Sukkot, Brayden and Tali share what they are learning about this festivals primary themes - joy and the wilderness journey! It seems like a oxymoron... This feast is kept in remembrance of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness and yet we are commanded to rejoice. We have a choice of how we look at this wilderness journey... We can look at it disparagingly as a season of hardships and trials or we can look at God's loving care for Israel as He woos His Bride and prepares her for entering into the fullness of her inheritance (The Promised Land). God refers to this Wilderness season as the Betrothal season (Jeremiah 2) and it is a season where love is either lost or cultivated. It is no coincidence that we find ourselves in a similar Betrothal season as we wait for the fullness of the promise (Messiah's return!). We are offered a similar option: Rejoice in God's loving care as He prepares us for our coming King or get discouraged by the trials and hardships that come in the refining process. Let us grow in the likeness of Yeshua and rejoice in the plan of God, even if it means laying down our lives for imperfect people! Disciples of Yeshua are encouraged to have His joy in them. What a thought! The very oil of joy spoken of in Psalm 45 that anoints Yeshua because He love righteousness and hates wickedness is meant to flow over our hearts as well. Rejoice in the Lord always!

Tuesday Sep 24, 2019
Lovesick......the word carries quite a lot of drama. It describes someone who is emotionally and physically moved by the deep stirrings of love. In this podcast listen as Tali tells her own story of lovesickness during the betrothal season. The Bride in the Song of Songs is found in this deep place of longing for her beloved. The nearer we come to the return of the Bridegroom the more we will be found walking in the first and great commandment to love. The Father will not send His son down to an indifferent Bride, but one that is full of passion and longing. Men and women, let's pursue the first commandment with all our hearts!

Tuesday Sep 17, 2019
Tuesday Sep 17, 2019
In today's world we expect the Bride and Groom to get married and drive off into "Happily Ever After". The Betrothal season, however, throws an unexpected twist to the drama. It is a season of growing in love and devotion even when you are led through the wilderness valley of separation. The heart longs for fulness yet must wait. The bride longs for her bridegroom yet must submit to the divinely orchestrated timetable that brings her love to maturity. Listen and be encouraged to stand fast through the refining fire.
