So if Jesus is coming back for his bride, and the bride is the church, and the church doesn't treat others well, does that make the church a bridezilla?  Is that sentence a run-on sentence? Yes. and Yes.  In this episode, Jonny and Michael break down Jesus and the bride, an image from the Bible used to represent how God sees his church. But too often the bride doesn't treat others well.  Resources: "I Don't Want a God Who..." https://www.adventistreview.org/2013-1519-p16 Church in Quarantine: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIbr_TrFBVZ | IG @iamclaudiaallen Socials: Send us an email or DM!
