Gary & Kim Elliot host a space for Christians who are done with culture’s hollow versions of love, sex, and marriage. This podcast is for people choosing the long way—the disciplined, holy, inconvenient way—because romance isn’t meant to consume us. It’s meant to form us. We talk waiting when desire is loud. Faithfulness when leaving is easier. Covenant in a world addicted to chemistry. This is theology before technique. Formation before feelings. Not dating hacks. A reformation. Welcome to the Romantic Reformation.

    Loneliness is a Liar

    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. Visit godoftheromantic.com to subscribe to GOTR News and Blogs.

    More on His Pleasure

    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. Visit godoftheromantic.com to subscribe to GOTR News and Blogs.

    Friend-Zoned

    "If I had the keys and a tank full of gas, I'd start a Friendship Revival..."

  8. The Romantic "Conviction"

    The Romantic "Conviction"

    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. Visit godoftheromantic.com to learn more.
