Hosea’s Wife is Redeemed

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Hosea chapter 3, where Hosea is called to redeem his unfaithful wife as a living picture of God’s unfailing love for His people. Together, they explore how this passage reveals the depth of God’s commitment to Israel despite betrayal and idolatry, and how it points forward to His covenant of love fulfilled in Christ. The conversation highlights how true love is rooted in relationship and care rather than physical desire, and how God’s unconditional love calls us to extend grace to others who may not meet our expectations. Curtis and Sally also challenge listeners to consider where they may be seeking peace, security, or identity outside of God, and remind us that our calling as followers of Christ is to shine His light and embody His love to all people. The episode closes with a look at God’s promise that, in the last days, people will tremble in awe of His goodness, recognizing Him alone as the true source of life and hope.
