They delve into how Mike Bickle and IHOP use the metaphor of the Church as the “bride” of Christ, waiting to be united with Jesus, the “groom.” While inspired by biblical passages, this doctrine has been critiqued for its emphasis on purity, devotion, and apocalyptic anticipation, and some see it as taking on an unsettling, even sexualized, interpretation. Learn how the Bridal Paradigm shapes IHOP’s community ethos, with lasting effects on those who were immersed in this world. They also explore the connections between IHOP’s teachings and the broader Latter Rain and New Apostolic Reformation movements, showing how shared themes like fasting, prophecy, and hierarchy create a complex network of influence. Through personal stories and historical context, Jed reveals how IHOP’s teachings have impacted individual lives and discuss the larger implications of unchecked religious authority. This is a deep dive into one of the most influential yet controversial corners of modern charismatic Christianity.
