Avoid the Wrong Relationships by Building the Right Foundation

Episode Summary:

This episode kicks off our The Prepare for Love Series, a 7-part journey walking you through the exact steps God used to transform my love life and prepare me for the marriage I have today.

We’re starting with the “P” in the PREPARE framework—Pursue God First—because everything else hinges on this foundation. If you’ve been feeling frustrated in your love life or tired of ending up with the wrong people, this episode will show you why putting God at the center is the key to lasting change.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why pursuing God first is the foundation for dating and marriage
• The danger of letting relationships, timelines, or marriage itself take God’s place
• What Matthew 6:33 teaches us about priority and trust
• Practical ways to put God first in your everyday life so you can date with peace and confidence

Checkpoint Challenge (Your Weekly Action Step):

This week, set aside quiet time with God and ask Him:

“Lord, are you truly first in my life, or have I been putting other things above you?”

Write down whatever He shows you, and if there’s something you need to surrender, surrender it. This isn’t about shame—it’s about realignment.
