Hello and welcome to Bride in Waiting, a podcast for women who feel called to prepare for a Godly marriage. Whether you’re single, dating, or engaged, this is your space to grow in faith, learn what it means to be a Christ-centered partner, and discover God’s beautiful design for marriage.
I’m thrilled to start this journey with you! Each week, we’ll explore Scripture, get practical about relationship prep, and hear from guests who share our heart for building marriages that reflect God’s love. Together, we’ll dive deep, learning how to make this season of waiting meaningful, intentional, and full of purpose.
In today’s world, marriage faces all kinds of pressures, and sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of what it’s truly meant to be. Here on Bride in Waiting, we’re here to peel back those layers and get to the core of what God has in store for marriage. Think of this as your space to pray, prepare, and grow into the person God is shaping you to be.
Podcast Intentions:
Here’s what you can expect from this podcast:
1. To Discover God’s Heart for Marriage
We’ll explore what the Bible says about marriage. It’s not just about love and romance; it’s a reflection of Christ’s love for the Church. We’re here to discover how that reverence and holiness can shape our relationships.
2. To Cultivate a Christ-Centered Heart
It’s easy to focus on finding the right person, but we’ll flip the perspective and talk about becoming the right person—a partner who reflects Christ in love, patience, and grace. Let’s get into that heart work together.
3. To Prepare for the Realities of Marriage
Marriage is beautiful but it also requires resilience, forgiveness, and a whole lot of faith. We’ll talk about how to handle real challenges with wisdom and lean into God through every season.
4. To Gain Wisdom from Others
Through stories, Scriptures, and guest insights, we’ll learn from women and couples who are living out God’s vision for marriage. Their experiences and testimonies will guide us and give us real-life encouragement.
Every episode will be about helping you step closer to God’s heart for marriage. We’ll have open conversations, devotionals, prayer segments, and takeaways to help you live out what you’re learning. This is more than just listening—it’s about transformation. I encourage you to bring a journal along, jot down thoughts, prayers, and maybe even dreams God places on your heart. This season of waiting doesn’t have to feel passive; it can be one of the most powerful seasons of your life.
Prayer:
Before we wrap up this intro, let’s take a moment to pray together, setting our hearts and minds on God as we begin.
“Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for this moment, for this season, and for each woman listening right now. We know You have created marriage as a reflection of Your love and faithfulness, and we ask for Your guidance as we prepare our hearts. Help us to trust in Your timing, to seek You first, and to grow in ways that glorify You.
Lord, shape us into women of love, patience, and wisdom. Teach us to serve, forgive, and honor others as You have done for us. Guide this podcast, Lord, and may it be a place of truth, hope, and encouragement. Let Your presence be with us in every episode. May our waiting be filled with Your purpose, and may our lives bring You glory.
In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.”
Thank you so much for being here for this first episode of Bride in Waiting. I’m so excited to walk alongside you on this journey! In our next episode, we’ll talk about finding purpose in singleness—how to embrace this season as a time for growth and connection with God. Until then, remember that God is with you every step of the way in your waiting.
