Don't Wait Until Marriage to Get Your Money Together ft. Rachel Cruze

What if singleness and marriage were never meant to be opposing seasons — but invitations to the same deeper goal? In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Lisa Harper shares her personal story of not choosing singleness — and discovering that Jesus meets us fully in the life we didn’t plan. Together, we explore the tension between longing for marriage and learning contentment, and unpack what Paul the Apostle truly meant when he wrote that singleness is a gift. Lisa opens up about grief, growth, unmet expectations, and the steady faithfulness of Christ. We look at the full context of 1 Corinthians 7, gently challenge cultural narratives, and reframe what it means to walk closely with Jesus in every season.Pray while you wait with <a href='https://amzn.to/4b5vlek'>Future Husband, Present Prayers</a> and trust God with your love story with the <a href='https://amzn.to/406uPaY'>Dear Future Husband Prayer Journal</a>.

Is Singleness Really a Gift? Paul's Teachings, Being Content, & God’s Goodness ft. Lisa Harper

&quot;I never thought I could love again… until I did.&quot; In this tender and honest episode of the Dear Future Husband Podcast, Courtney Pray Duke shares what it’s like to open your heart after you were certain it was closed forever. After losing her first husband, love felt impossible — even unimaginable. The grief was heavy. The future felt rewritten. And the idea of loving another man felt both distant and complicated. Courtney vulnerably walks through the emotions no one prepares you for — the guilt, the fear, the questions, and the quiet hope that slowly returns. She talks about honoring her late husband while stepping into a new relationship, learning that moving forward doesn’t mean moving on, and discovering that the heart can expand in ways we never expect. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll never love like that again,” this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t erase your past — it makes room for a future. And sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it.Find &quot;And She Got Back Up&quot; here: <a href='https://amzn.to/3OnNigq'>https://amzn.to/3OnNigq</a>Pray while you wait with <a href='https://amzn.to/4b5vlek'>Future Husband, Present Prayers</a> and trust God with your love story with the <a href='https://amzn.to/406uPaY'>Dear Future Husband Prayer Journal</a>.
