Created in the Image of God: Behold the Bride

Welcome to Behold the Bride, a powerful spiritual journey hosted by author and teacher Sylvia Colville, broadcasted in partnership with Radio Cape Pulpit.

What is the ultimate purpose of your life, and what does it truly look like to be ready for the imminent return of Jesus Christ? This podcast is a step-by-step masterclass in spiritual preparation, moving believers away from routine religious duties and into a deep, life-altering love relationship with the bridegroom.

Grounded fundamentally in the truth of Genesis 1:26—that humanity was uniquely designed and crafted to bear the image and likeness of God—each episode serves as a guide for the Church’s journey from salvation to ultimate glorification. Together, we explore the deep mysteries of the scriptures: from understanding the "oil of intimacy" in the secret place and abiding effortlessly in the True Vine, to yielding submissively to the loving pruning's of God the Father.

Behold the Bride is a sobering yet profoundly encouraging invitation from the King to awaken from spiritual slumber, keep your lamp burning brightly, and allow the Holy Spirit to continuously refine your life into a beautiful tabernacle fit for His glory.
