Justin Goddard shares what it really looked like to become the man God was calling him to be before stepping into marriage.

From taking intentional time to grow, heal, and strengthen his relationship with God to learning accountability, discipline, and how to listen well, Justin opens up about the work that had to happen before the ring.

In this episode, we talk about preparing for marriage before you ever say “I do,” confronting the areas of your life that still need healing, surrounding yourself with people who will hold you accountable, and trusting God’s timing instead of rushing into the next season.

Justin also shares lessons from his relationship with his wife, Alyssa, and how God used his season of preparation to shape him into a better man, husband, and leader.

Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or already married, this conversation will challenge you to ask yourself one question
