• 14 | Is God's Will Still Possible After My Past? How You Can Learn to Walk with God Differently This Time
    2026/09/02

    Your past doesn't have to be the end of your story. God's will is still possible as you choose to walk forward with Him.

    You'll hear me share my own journey of moving beyond unhealthy relationship patterns and learning to trust God with an unknown future. If you're choosing to do things differently, either healing from past mistakes or have always desired to honor God by waiting for marriage, you are not alone.

    Together, we'll talk about some of the fears and struggles that can come with choosing God's way:

    • Waiting on God's timing when you're afraid the future you hope for may never happen
    • Breaking unhealthy relationship patterns and wondering whether you have what it takes to do things differently
    • Overcoming temptation when you've experienced physical intimacy before and are now choosing abstinence until marriage
    • Trusting God with an unknown future, even when you fear you may never get married
    • Standing firm in your decision to wait when others don't understand your choice

    This episode also touches on God's design for physical intimacy, unintended pregnancy, and the sensitive subject of abortion, with a message of God's grace, healing, and restoration for every woman whose past includes experiences or decisions she wishes had been different.

    No matter where you've been or what your story looks like today, God can meet you right where you are and lead you forward. Your journey doesn't have to be defined by your past. There is hope, healing, and a future as you continue walking with Him.

  • 13 | Waiting Well: The Path to Resist Temptation and Wait on God
    2026/08/26

    What if waiting until marriage for physical intimacy isn't about what you're giving up but about what God is making room for? Choosing abstinence before marriage can sometimes feel like a disruption. You may wonder if waiting will make relationships more difficult, interfere with your love story, or make it harder to find someone who shares your values. But what if God's way of doing relationships leads to something far more valuable?

    In this episode of Waiting Until Marriage, discover what it means to wait well, resist temptation, trust God's timing, and grow in intimacy with God.

    You'll discover three stages of realization:

    • This is going to mess up my life. Changing the way you've always approached relationships can feel disruptive.
    • Wait… I CAN actually make this work. Choosing God's way may require you to rearrange your expectations, boundaries, and dating habits, but waiting doesn't mean your life becomes empty or deprived.
    • The benefit is worth the adjustment. When you understand how God can use the waiting season to protect, prepare, heal, strengthen, and teach you to trust Him, you can begin to see abstinence in a completely different way.

    Waiting well isn't about simply surviving abstinence. It's about learning to see the waiting differently and discovering a deeper intimacy with God.

    “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14)

  • 12 | Feeling Depleted From Past Mistakes? How to Find Growth and Wholeness Before Marriage
    2026/08/19

    Have you ever looked back at your past and barely recognized the woman you used to be? Have you ever had a “Wait a minute. That was me” moment when you suddenly realized how different you are today because of what God has done in your life? In this episode, we’ll explore the powerful transformation God can bring when we surrender our past, relationships, hurts, and desires to Him.

    Waiting until marriage for physical intimacy is not about following a list of rules to earn God's approval. It is about drawing closer to Jesus and allowing Him to transform you from the inside out. You don't have to remain the woman your past created. God can write a completely different story in your life.

    God can use this season of waiting to make you whole, heal what has been broken, and prepare you for the woman He created you to be.

    “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

    “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 3:18)

  • 10 | Unhealthy Relationship Cycles? Here's How Boundaries and Prayer Create a Testimony of Growth
    2026/08/05

    Maybe you've found yourself wondering:

    • Why do I always attract unavailable men?
    • Why do I ignore red flags in their character?
    • Why do I compromise physically?
    • Why do I feel guilty afterward?
    • Why can't I stop this cycle?

    If any of these questions sound familiar, this episode will help you see unhealthy relationship cycles differently. I'll share my own story, including a surprising lesson God taught me through two sets of lost puppies, along with stories from women I've interviewed who chose to stop repeating the same patterns and started making wise choices in their relationships.

    We'll talk about healthy boundaries, physical intimacy, abstinence, temptation, and what it looks like to trust God's will instead of relying on our own way. Waiting until marriage isn't simply about saying no. It’s part of learning to walk with God, grow in faith and obedience, and become the woman He is calling you to be.

    You'll discover how breaking unhealthy relationship cycles can bring healing from the past, greater peace, and real growth. And as God transforms you through the process, that growth can become part of your testimony and another chapter in your love story.

    “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

    2026/07/22

    Does your biological clock ever make you wonder if waiting for physical intimacy until marriage is costing you something? Maybe you worry about getting older, having children, or whether time is slipping away. The pressure to hurry can be overwhelming, making you wonder if trusting God’s timing is really worth it.

    In this episode, you'll hear the story of a flying dog named Fred and discover how what looks like deprivation can actually be God's protection.

    Physical intimacy isn’t the foundation of a thriving marriage. It is the beautiful expression of a relationship already built on friendship, trust, faith, and lasting love.

    “God did not give me the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

    “Put away all appearances of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:22)

  • 07 | Do You Ever Wonder if Waiting is Worth It? What No One Tells You About Trusting God's Timing
    2026/07/15

    Do you ever wonder if waiting until marriage for physical intimacy is really worth it?

    If you're struggling to trust God's timing, this episode will encourage you with a simple real-life story that beautifully illustrates why waiting is never wasted time. You’ll discover that God isn't delaying something good. Instead, He’s preparing your heart so intimacy becomes the beautiful gift He always intended it to be within marriage.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why waiting isn't a season of being trapped. It's a season of healing, growth, and preparation as God strengthens your faith and deepens your relationship with Him.
    • Why readiness isn't determined by a wedding date, but by preparing your heart while you wait for physical intimacy until marriage.
    • How God faithfully provides your deepest needs during your waiting season, so your identity, security, and worth are found in Him and not in a boyfriend or fiancé.
    • Why God's timing for physical intimacy isn't arbitrary, but perfectly designed so intimacy can be experienced within marriage as an expression of covenant love rather than a search for acceptance or completion.

    If you've ever questioned whether waiting until marriage is worth it, this episode will remind you that God's timing is always purposeful. As He prepares your heart, you'll discover that waiting isn't about missing out. It is about becoming ready for His best.

    “He has made everything beautiful in his time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
