GRAB YOUR COPY: 10 Reasons Why I Hate Christian Dating
Ready to make the leap from dating to engagement? This eye-opening conversation tackles the sacred transition that many believers rush through without proper preparation. As someone who's counseled countless kingdom couples, I'm pulling back the curtain on what no one tells you about engagement – it's not just about planning a wedding, it's about preparing for covenant.
Discover why your engagement shouldn't be a "trial marriage" and why that mindset leads so many couples to compromise their boundaries. I share my own transparent journey, including the surprising truth about when I truly knew my husband was "the one." (Hint: it wasn't during the dating or even engagement phase!)
Kingdom marriages require more than compatibility and chemistry – they demand spiritual alignment, clear communication around expectations, and a shared mission. We explore the critical conversations you need to have before saying "I do" about family dynamics, finances, gender roles, and spiritual leadership. For women wondering about biblical submission and men questioning what godly leadership truly entails, this episode provides practical wisdom without sugarcoating the challenges.
Whether you're currently engaged, approaching that season, or simply want to prepare well for your future spouse, this conversation will equip you with the spiritual tools to build a marriage that stands against the gates of hell. Don't settle for just another "cute marriage" – learn how to create a covenant relationship with kingdom purpose at its center.
Ready for a relationship that glorifies God and fulfills His purpose? Join me for this crucial conversation about how to make the holy transition from dating to "I do" with wisdom, discernment, and divine guidance.
Understanding the path to becoming a godly wife requires personal growth, spiritual closeness to God, and a deep understanding of biblical principles. This episode dives into essential aspects of preparing for marriage, focusing on identity, purpose, submission, and community support.
• Opening prayer for those affected by natural disasters
• Importance of individual growth while preparing to become a wife
• Building a strong relationship with God
• Emphasizing purpose and identity in Christ over societal pressures
• Characteristics of inner beauty and humility
• Understanding biblical submission and love
• Cultivating patience, self-control, and effective communication
• Engaging with mentors and community for growth
• The significance of prayer for personal preparation and future spouses
• The necessity of preparing for marriage rather than just a wedding
After years of wrestling with the challenges of maintaining purity while dating, I've discovered that faith and obedience to God can truly lead to triumph over temptation. Join me, Faye, as I share personal experiences and biblical insights that illuminate the path to overcoming sexual temptations in the dating world. We'll unravel stories like those of David and Bathsheba, and Joseph and Potiphar's wife, to understand how crucial it is to resist and flee from situations that may lead us into sin.
This episode reveals how fasting, prayer, and scripture can transform your dating life into one that glorifies God. Discover the profound impact of renewing your mind with key scriptures such as Romans 12:2 and 1 Corinthians 10:13, empowering you to align your life with biblical standards. Through my own journey, I emphasize the vitality of building a robust spiritual foundation, one that fortifies your spirit and helps you navigate the often-turbulent waters of relationships while maintaining a holy lifestyle.
We'll also address the natural struggle with temptation, offering practical advice on setting boundaries and choosing spiritually enriching relationships. With an invitation to join our Covenant Crew membership, you’ll find a supportive community ready to walk alongside you without judgment. Together, let's prioritize our relationship with God, break free from the grip of lust and soul ties, and renew our dedication to living a life that honors Him.
Feeling the weight of singleness, especially during moments like Valentine's Day? Join me as I share my own journey through heartbreak and the seemingly endless wait for a life partner, and discover how redirecting focus onto your relationship with Jesus can bring hope and serenity. This episode promises insights into the concept of kingdom marriages, where partnerships are forged through divine alignment rather than mere personal choice. We explore the importance of seeking God's kingdom first, keeping faith alive even when prospects seem bleak, and the promise of an acceleration in these spiritually significant unions.
By aligning our hearts with God's purpose, we prepare for fulfilling and purposeful marriages that transcend worldly distractions. Emphasizing honesty and humility, I encourage you to set clear expectations for a future spouse while trusting in God's perfect timing. As Valentine's Day nears, remember that your struggles and prayers are seen, and many will find their partners by the end of 2025. Close your eyes and join me in a prayer for strength and blessings, as we express gratitude for the divine orchestration of upcoming kingdom marriages and commit ourselves to nurturing a deeper relationship with God.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how to prepare for the God-ordained spouse you’ve been praying for. We’ll talk about deepening your relationship with God, healing from your past, and becoming the best version of YOU.
This isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about positioning yourself for the purpose and promise God has for your life. Whether you’re single, dating, or in your waiting season, this episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing and do the work to become the partner you’re called to be. Let’s get into it!
