Do you ever have issues loving somebody else? There are be many reasons why relationships can be difficult – you’re probably already thinking of them . . . and maybe even thinking about the specific people you’re having a difficult time with. There are many ways to talk about relationship advice, but today we are going to focus on a different approach – one that we haven’t talked about before. In this episode we will talk about the metaphor that we see in the Bible as the church being the bride of Christ – and how this image impacts our relationships.
In today's episode of Doable Discipleship, host Jason Wieland is joined by Vermon Pierre, pastor of Roosevelt Community Church in Phoenix Arizona and author of the new book, Dearly Beloved: How God’s Love for His Church Deepens Our Love For Each Other. In this conversation, Jason and Vermon talk about how cultural tendencies are making it easier for people to live separately from one another, what the biblical metaphor for marriage means, some ways that we can live a beloved life, and more.
