This is really really good. I’m a grandma in the USA, and my thought is that to keep all this information locked up, and not talked about is the exact reason we are all in this mess so to speak. The church as a whole, stayed silent, offered no direction or help. We have turned our backs in unforgiveness. We have been judgmental making young people turn away from the church and give into the sins of the world. Thank you ladies, this is much needed. ❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️❤️
God CAN tell you to marry someone. BUT YOU DON'T TELL THE PERSON TILL GOD TELLS THEM! God told me who He had for me but I told God to tell HIM. God did. THAT is how it works without damaging you! PS we got engaged the day before our first date and just celebrated our 39th anniversary. PS our story is NOT THE NORM. Our story is unique. And that is ok! Love your stories, ladies! The transparency and teaching are top notch and I will be happy to recommend this video!
If only there had been teaching like this available to young Christians over 40 years ago my life would have been so different. I was a fixer and have always been resented for it though we have remained married. Bless you all for what youre doing.
Absolutely fantastic and totally needed at this time when relationships in the church are being complicated by lies from the world. Men need help in the church, we need to do something to help them too.
So brilliant this episode has been, looking forward to the wisdom and revelation that will unfold! Thank you ladies! I am married to a man who is not in the same spiritual relationship with the Lord that I am in (I was made aware of this at the beginning). I have a radical love and devotion for Jesus, and he is happy to go along. He is on a journey. It has been very difficult not being equally yoked. Wisdom from the Lord is what I need everyday 🙏
I would have waited longer to be married, and seeked more spiritual wisdom and counsel, then pray a lot more than I did and really discern the will of God 🙏 thank you for replying 🙏
Oh, Emma, this down to earth discussion is excellent!! Thank you to you all!! I wish I had this video to share with my daughter years ago. I have a friend who counsels young women and I am sure she will love this and be able to use it. So helpful!! Looking forward to the next segment! God bless!
Love this! It was very rich with wisdom. Thank you laddies for your transparency I which I would’ve heard this before marriage it would’ve saved us years of heart ache and struggles. My husband and I will be celebrating 40 years of marriage this month, it has been truly the grace of God that has kept us and a refusal to let the devil win.
Finally, some real talk! ❤️I have a list of things to talk about. 😂 Separation/divorce, actual verbal, physical, sexual abuse vs. just being grumpy… many more. Thank you for bringing more than the same old thing I was expecting.
Thank you for this discussion! So much wisdom in here. Can I acknowledge the outstanding father of Emma, who amazingly covered her wrong choice and in that covering helped turn something bad into something good through the power of Holy Spirit? What a picture of our Good Father! Hallelujah!
This is very good and thanks you for this first episode. Looking forward to the next one. I wish you have opened the subject of friendships. After my divorce, I was advised not to date but to build friendships instead. I believe that should be the first step even before going on dates. Friendship allows you to know the person without any further agenda like marriage. Get to know the person for who he or she is. Then if the friendship grows to something more then both parties can decide to date. In friendship, you get to know the person first before getting yourselves involved emotionally. It's a good boundary zone to be. I believe too best marriages are built on great friendships first.
Loved the chat about tribes, sooo good! Because it is not just about dating a believer, it is so much more. It is about calling, purpose and legacies, next generation of children. Love how honest you guys are, we need this more in the Church! Can't wait for the next episodes 😀
This is wonderful, thank you beautiful ladies for sharing your heart and experiences!! Jessica cracks me up "he raised his hand in worship, zooom" 😄 So good
This was so precious! I could've used this decades ago 🤓 I'm 66, saved by the blood of Jesus since '79, and divorced since '94. The Lord got a hold of me in 2008 to be celibate, always doing things backwards. 🙄 Valuable series for sure, for all ages.
Oh well done family! Absolutely brilliant. God is all over this 🙌💕 these truths need to be discussed openly and I bless you to stay bold and biblically controversial ❤ LOVE YOU GUYS!
Wow, ladies, this was so good- I could listen to you all day😃....I so agree with what you were saying. I am very happily married to an amazing Christian man but made massive mistakes before we tied the knot , including marrying a non-Christian man because there was no-one at my church. That marriage was a disaster and ended in a painful divorce.I would strongly counsel any Christian not to date and worse still, marry a non- Christian because, first of all your Heavenly Father says not to; you will damage your life and theirs and you will have to deal with unwanted memories and flashbacks and inevitable issues to work through. Don't do it!
I taught my oldest son about dating using I believe, Josh McDowell, “I kissed dating goodbye.” My son dated this young lady at college for 4 years and when he proposed it was after much prayer- a week later she broke up with him and he struggled with depression for a full year but more importantly or as important he felt betrayed by God. He walked away and now 13 years later he still struggles. He said he thought the whole thought of not dating had warped his sense of just enjoying getting to know women as friends and then possibly advancing. He has now been with the same woman for ten years. Not married but working toward that. He is delightful and wonderful but really felt this was wrong.
Impressive love this! Thank you for tackling this subject as 49 year old 2x divorced I struggled and last year just turned to Jesus and am not actively seeking or looking. Thus is so helpful I've been challenged and confused about this. Well done ladies God bless!
Emma and company I love you all so much I shared this with all my friends single and married an 57 never married have no kids because of that And I still hope to be married by making the right choice ButYOU GUYS ARE A GOD THIS WAS AMAZING I COULD OF CRIED JUST BECAUSE IT WAS GOOOOOOOOOOD and will be a blessing for the body of Church 🇹🇹from Trinidad My dreams is to visit you church and come and work for you
@@sisterofthunder1058 it's pretty much answered in one scripture ....be sober minded. If u drink a small glass with a meal most people but not all stay sober If alcohol previous addiction stay away. I hope they stick to the topic of relationships as it s much needed
When I was a kid, a guy from our church walked up to one of the ladies, and said they were going to marry. He'd never spoken to her before. Funnily enough, they were married about a year later, ended up going to the mission field together.
Known and loved this girl for near enough 10years everything was perfect but i had to leave her for god and that hurt and i'm still healing but its for his glory
I think the definition of "Dating within your tribe" needs further discussion. That could go in all sorts of directions. And from experience, I also STRONGLY recommend a thorough background check.
I’m married to a non Christian and it has been extremely hard but God still worked in me but so much more difficult. Infirmity, and unhappy but I will not leave him! It’s still a covenant
First, let me preface this with I love you all and watch regularly. But, we have to use scripture in it's proper context "Unequally yoked" is about the Corinthian church members joining themselves to the false teachers and false apostles who had infiltrated the Corinthian church. Paul was calling them to separate themselves from false teachers. A person is tri-part whether they are aware of it or not. I was married for 28 years to a Christian man who also treated me terribly, read his Bible, served faithfully in church, etc.! Post divorce, I have also dated men who were not Christians, who were moral, kind, interesting and supportive. My life and faith was a witness to them. I have been told, "I have so much peace when I am with you." And there was peace in our relationship. There was Hosea and Gomer. My mom and dad... Mom got saved and operated in her call as a Teacher/Evangelist after she got married and stayed married over 40 years. My "unsaved" dad reverenced God but did not believe that Jesus was the only way to God. But he was a joyful, just, fair, generous, humorous man who exemplified the character the God in his lifestyle. They did not attend church together, which my mom did miss and towards the end of his life, he acknowledged Jesus as Lord but they had a good life together. Never once in their marriage did my siblings or I hear them argue.
So so good. What happens when all boxes are checked off and a few years into the marriage he starts to have affairs. I stayed in the marriage for way to long because it was the Christian thing to do. To work it out ,but it never stopped. 15 years of marriage and finally I ended it. 9 years later I am still single with absolutely no dating . Sorry it is a lot to share.
A friend who is in her 60’s has been living with someone for 5 years and just become a Christian. They are about to get married next week. What is your take on this? Unequally yolked, not from same tribe.
In my experience (married to my best friend and with two amazing boys) men are treated with so much pressure and judgement they don’t know where to start. I was not afraid to date and have my own stories to help my boys but if ladies/girls in the church took this advice it would be easier for men to approach girls their interested in without feeling like they’re being accused of playing the field by others and declaring every lasting live on the first date to the girl…. Big subject that guys need help with…
@MichaelHollands I certainly agree with that. Sometimes the church is too far in other people's business. Yeah, "the approach", for men has certainly gotten hard.
I totally agree with not dating somebody unless they are on fire for God that is why I am still single. Being single is lonely but being married to a man who can not lead the family and be the spiritual head is much worse. Where do you find these men?
What do you think do you look for in a man who is on fire 🔥 for Jesus? I have friends who married men who looked like they were on fire but once they married they turned out to be only pretending.
My goodness!! Loved this!! The conversations are so raw and what we need!!! Anticipating more episodes!! Cannot wait!!!

Good Word...this was definitely missing in my experience in the Church - Good for you Grandma. Now it’s our Time...Titus 2 2-5 KJV
Excellent, loved the open honesty and everyone on the panel! Emma, your daughter was a nice addition and well done on raising a mature Christian lady!
So so good, thank you ladies for the really great candid chat and awesome advice, can’t wait for the next one x

THANK YOU SO MUCH, for doing a panel talk on this subject!! So needed!
Absolutely brilliant. Great Table Talk. Cannot wait for next episode. I had to share with my 18 year old niece.
The first episode was awesome. I loved the honesty and Biblical truth that was set forth. Looking forward to episode #2. Thank you!
Great start ladies! Thank you for your honesty, integrity and vulnerability. May God bless you and your relationships richly 😘🙏
I really have gained some insight and help through this show tonight so thank you for sharing this. I look forward to the next episode.
Doosari maa
Thank you for putting words to this. The articulation of truth makes ones heart just lean back in one’s chair and say, “yes”.
So ridiculously THANKFUL For You gal's going here!!!! But really wish we had guys on the panel to solidify & unwrap this for the men in the body!
If only there had been teaching like this available to young Christians over 40 years ago my life would have been so different. I was a fixer and have always been resented for it though we have remained married. Bless you all for what youre doing.
An finally a conversation of which you are free to discuss the real issues of the heart. ❤
Absolutely fantastic and totally needed at this time when relationships in the church are being complicated by lies from the world.
Men need help in the church, we need to do something to help them too.
What lies
@@pennyhughes3671 lies in the world about marriage, relationships and how to be happy in either.
Fantastic Conversation... this kept appearing in my feed, so I wanted to start with Episode one. What a Beautifully diverse group 💥
So brilliant this episode has been, looking forward to the wisdom and revelation that will unfold! Thank you ladies!

would you make a different decision if you could go back?

So beautifully expressed and such an eye opener
🙏
Brilliant episode. Will definitely watch the next one as well.

This is so good thank you 🥰🙏🏻 🔥
Very much needed session on dating :)
I am married but was still able to gather much fruit from this.
This is the best word on dating I've ever heard!
I've heard many teach that the equal yoke is not about same faith. Morelike same goal. How about Hosea and Gomer
This is great
My husband and I only knew each other 23 days before we got engaged. We were married 6 ish months later. We have been married 15 years.
Known and loved this girl for near enough 10years everything was perfect but i had to leave her for god and that hurt and i'm still healing but its for his glory
I think the definition of "Dating within your tribe" needs further discussion. That could go in all sorts of directions. And from experience, I also STRONGLY recommend a thorough background check.
How do.u do a thorough background check? I live in the UK
Great top tips
Amen! Exactly! I agree!

The unfaithfulness of a man is rarely about the woman. Mostly commonly in my experience, it is about false identity and related pride issues.
Are you going to Glasgow on Friday?
Thank for that clarity. No sadly not going to Glasgow.
I hope you will address should Christians marry someone who has been divorced?
I’ve dated “Christians” who were not on the same page as I am in my journey.
Where has Sarah-Jane gone? Is she okay?
Yes, miss Sarah Jane.
She is well 👍🏻
I was asking the same thing. I miss her as well.

Daughters of Inheritance, Numbers 27:1
We used to tell our children that if they marry a non-Christian their father-in-law the devil will definitely be paying them visits.
Looking forward to this!!
Men in the church do not approach women in/from the church anymore. Its def a sad situation in the church at this time.
In my experience (married to my best friend and with two amazing boys) men are treated with so much pressure and judgement they don’t know where to start.
I was not afraid to date and have my own stories to help my boys but if ladies/girls in the church took this advice it would be easier for men to approach girls their interested in without feeling like they’re being accused of playing the field by others and declaring every lasting live on the first date to the girl….

I totally agree with not dating somebody unless they are on fire for God that is why I am still single. Being single is lonely but being married to a man who can not lead the family and be the spiritual head is much worse. Where do you find these men?
I really struggled with this as I was brought up on the thought that God is your match maker. He has designed you for someone else.
Hi family, I know I'm married but I may learn something
We are never to old to learn.
It's an individual journey ... Common sense ... Keep letting go ... Place your life and date on the altar ... Totally surrendered ...
Maybe it's aimed more at younger people but still interesting
I'm 66, it's for all ages...
What do you think do you look for in a man who is on fire 🔥 for Jesus? I have friends who married men who looked like they were on fire but once they married they turned out to be only pretending.
Divorced but want to be married again.
I d believe it. No, yez Way, xxx
👏🇨🇦♥️
I was single until I was 44 and even though I married a Christian I lost my call because we were not the same tribe
Could I ask - did you know this getting into the marriage?
@@dachater1 no I thought we were but I am very much like Emma and he was very against what he called "my type of spiritual witchcraft"
That still silly big D in D party pants n shorts n no trouble trousers. Xx
Without discernment Satan will send good instead of God to derail your destiny and your divine call.
I hope I am able to move on.
There is no benefit in dating somebody who is not the one.
