Join us from February 6–14 2026
Nine Days of Love is a guided meditation and prayer journey that unfolds over nine days and culminates on February 14, Valentine’s Day. Participants are invited to walk with some of the most beautiful and enduring love stories found in the Christian Scriptures and to explore what these stories reveal about love as a human and spiritual path.
The journey offers a daily rhythm of teaching, reflection, and prayer, alongside moments of shared presence in community. It is designed to be accessible within everyday life and supportive for people at different stages of their relationship journey.
Nine Days of Love offers an opportunity to approach Valentine’s Day with depth and meaning, allowing sacred stories of love to inform, nourish, and accompany your own journey.
scriptural love stories
We all love a good love story. Romance, longing, devotion, heartbreak, reunion, and hope speak to something universal within us.
Long before television, series, and soap operas, love stories were carried through folktales, sung by poets, performed on stage, and passed from generation to generation. Some of the most enduring and influential love stories were preserved in Scripture. These are the stories that have survived millennia, cultures, and empires. Many of the love narratives we recognize today still draw from their patterns, conflicts, and archetypes.
At the heart of this meditation & prayer journey are nine scriptural love stories, rich, layered, luminous, and often overlooked. Some are familiar by name, yet rarely contemplated in depth. Others remain almost hidden, tucked away in lesser-known books of Scripture, waiting to be discovered.
During this journey, we will reflect on the love stories of Adam
& Eve, Mary & Joseph, Tobias & Sarah, Ruth & Boaz, the lovers of the Song of Songs, and more. Each story invites us to reflect on how love grows, how it matures, how it is tested, and how it becomes a path of spiritual formation.
As we journey together, you may find your own experiences illuminated, your waiting, your hopes, your wounds, your capacity to love more truthfully. This is an invitation to encounter Scripture through love stories that remain alive, stories that continue to teach, accompany, and nourish us on our own paths of relationship and becoming.

Who This Journey Is For
This journey is open to everyone.

Why Scripture
The Bible is approached here as a living reservoir of human wisdom. Across centuries, communities have turned to sacred texts to navigate love, longing, fidelity, desire, disappointment, healing, and hope. The love stories found in Scripture speak to universal experiences and reveal archetypal patterns that continue to resonate today.
In this journey, Scripture is used as a companion for inner life. These stories offer language for experiences that often remain unspoken and provide perspective shaped by generations who faced the same questions we face now about relationship, commitment, vulnerability, and meaning.
