Description

The #1 topic I hear intense stress, worry, and anxiety about is this: Romantic relationships - Specifically, dating and marriage. 

That's why this episode is going to ignite transformative relief and INCREDIBLE clarity. 

You're about to hear Christ-centered, practical insights from the pastor who led my husband and I's powerful, life-changing premarital counseling (and is the pastor who married us!)

Pastor John Crawford, an executive pastor at Redemption Church Temp, has hosted a massive amount of premarital counseling and pastoral counseling. He shares from a place of lived experience and walking with individuals and couples for many years. 

You'll hear: 

• The unexpected story of John met his amazing wife 
• How Pastor John did his wife's hair on their first date (and the funniest part about it!) 
• The difference of dating and marriage where Christ is at the center 
• Why dating and marriage in Christ carry SO much freedom 
• An amazing metaphor for worrying and how God does NOT want you to feel crushed under the weight of worry
• The danger of having a checklist for a future spouse
• When you see a 90-year-old couple, what to remember and see in that 
• The 2 dating criteria my previous therapist gave me (who was a pastor for twenty years) - IT IS SO GOOD 
• Addressing the fears and uneasiness people have about premarital counseling
• The WILD homework John had us do in premarital counseling that some listeners will find shocking and scary...but I promise, it was SO GOOD 

John talks about marriage in the sweetest way. His wife is his best friend and they've been married almost half his life now. His wisdom on dating, engagement, preparing for marriage and marriage itself has been absolutely life-changing and is going to serve someone listening SO WELL.
