In this heartfelt continuation of Episode One, Gary and Kim Elliott dive deep into a foundational truth that many overlook: God is not only a good Father—He's a romantic one. In this episode of Redeeming the Romantic, the couple shares personal stories, reflections, and biblical insights that challenge the modern narrative around romance, dating, and divine matchmaking. 

Through their own journey, including the revelation behind their book Violets in the Snow, Gary and Kim explore how God’s involvement in our romantic lives is not only possible but deeply rooted in His nature as a loving Father. From heartfelt conversations with friends who struggle to trust God with romance, to theological insights on faith, fatherhood, and identity, this episode is a warm invitation to reimagine the love story God is writing for each of us.

Whether you're single, dating, or married, this episode will stir your heart, renew your hope, and help you trust that God's way of love is worth discovering.

In this episode of 'Redeeming the Romantic,' Gary and Kim Elliott explore the intersection of faith and romance, discussing their unique approach to understanding God's ways in romantic relationships. They share personal experiences of heartbreak, the importance of stories in revealing God's truths, and the belief that love is a gift from God rather than something to strive for. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper engagement with God's word and the patterns of love found in biblical narratives, encouraging listeners to seek a more profound understanding of romance through faith.

Loneliness is a liar. It acts like a fortuneteller of what may never come for you. Sometimes, we have to wait out the lies to learn the truth. Sometimes, we have to grieve the potential ending of a dream to live free and fully on our way to our dreams.

Doing the will of God is not a militant obedience. It is aligning with His pleasure. Doing the will of God was food to Jesus. Adding to God's pleasure was a deeply satisfying delight for Jesus; therefore, it should also be our experience. Listen in on how you can experience that same delight when you wait for who only God can give into your life.

"If I had the keys and a tank full of gas, I'd start a Friendship Revival..." Dating is not wrong we just found it unnecessary when you live in the expectation of God being a good Father Who desires to bring us a gift of love that fits us and His purposes for us.

The word conviction can get a bad reputation as if it only operates to shame us into changed behavior. But what convictions operate to narrow our path into His perfect plans and purposes for us, including our romantic desires? It was God's convictions that led me into my now marriage while transforming me further into His image as we walked together.

God loves you. Why would He not speak to you? If you think you're somehow disqualified from hearing His voice for the important decisions in your life, then revisit your salvation experience. While you were yet a sinner, separated from God, He spoke to you in a way you knew He was real, forgiving, and loving. So much so that you said yes to more than you first imagined or understood. If giving your life over to an invisible Savior was the most important decision of your life, how much more can you expect to hear Him concerning the second most "turning your life over" decision of your life?

Is there the "one"? There can be. I discuss God's providence in romantic love and His foreknowledge of our will. He fits all things together into a plan to progressively conform us to the image of Jesus. He knew before time began where we would make choices with Him and without Him, and He preplanned His grace to meet us in both. He is the God of the "one" for all who would dare to believe it.

Does the idea of waiting with God to meet and marry His best for you feel a bit unnatural? It is, choosing to let God take the lead in your life is not a natural move, it is a supernatuarl move. The power it takes to wait is all His. Take a listen!
