Will You Let Him?

Laura and Jenny go back to the very beginning of the Song of Songs and unpack the first verse, "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth." They share how this verse was a stumbling block to them and to many of the women they work with at Hope's Garden. This conversation will bring new understanding of what the Bride is desiring of the Divine Bridegroom and how this verse can be applied to our own lives.

Jesus is the Remedy

Like the Women at the Well, we are all longing for the desires of our hearts to be fulfilled. And also like her, we often cause ourselves and others great harm when we seek fulfillment in all the wrong places. Father Michael Stalla, spiritual advisor of Hope's Garden, delivers a powerful message about the consequences this has on our marriages and families in his homily for Sunday March 8, 2026.

Catch Us the Little Foxes

In this episode, Laura and Jenny discuss Song of Songs 2:16-16 and what it means to "catch the foxes" within our vineyard. When our love for the Bridegroom begins to blossom, "little foxes" such as distractions, sins, lies we've believed about ourselves, and negative self-talk can interrupt our healing journey. Laura and Jenny discuss how keeping our eyes on the Bridegroom and rejecting the "little foxes" can help us sink further into the truth that "My Beloved is mine and I am His" (Song of Songs 2:16).

God Longs to Hear Your Voice

Laura and Jenny continue their discussion of the Bridegroom's invitation to His Bride in verses 2:10-2:14 of the Song of Songs. In this episode, they focus on the Bridegroom's words, "Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet." Finding our authentic voice is a challenge for those who have been silenced or whose voices have been ridiculed. Jenny and Laura share their stories of how Jesus gently healed their hearts and provided safety in prayer for them to discover and learn to speak with their "sweet" voices.

The Bridegroom's Invitation

In this episode of The Bridegroom Speaks, Laura reflects on verse 2:14 of the Song of Songs and invites Jenny duBay to give her insight on how this verse helped in her healing from an abusive marriage. Jenny resonates with this verse, likening herself as a "withered rose" who went into seclusion so as not to seem hypocritical to her friends, family, and the outside world. It was through a Song of Songs Scripture study offered by Hope's Garden that Jenny encountered this verse in a new way and heard the Bridegroom speaking to her heart. He invites all of us to come to Him and let Him love us into full bloom. Learn more about Jesus the Bridegroom and His divine love song at Hopesgarden.com
