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.
