Thank you so much for giving Isaac and I the opportunity to share our love story with your audience Laterras! We’re cheering you on on your journey!
To God be the glory. God is so intentional
Such a beautiful spirit. I pray that you continue to have growth in your calling and blessings in your relationship.
@@DearFutureWifey Please have an updated episode with this beautiful couple! ❤️💜
Happy to see you guys on here, just found this channel ❤️
Been a subscriber on ur channel.
Ever since I showed my 5 yr old sis ur wedding video ( whose name is Courtney)
She keeps saying she's gonna get married and calling random people her husband 😂😄
I pray the lord orders her steps and a Issac finds her some day😄❤️
Love u guys
@@ladydee7099 I too would like to see an update. I would be shocked if they marry and make it. Something is very off with him. She also should stop talking about previous relationships. Isaac may not be mature enough to handle this. Personally, I would not appreciate someone who continues to mention previous relationships. I wish them well.
Thank you for having us! We really enjoyed. Courtney is a gracious gift from God.
How did you feel watching yourself?
@@DearFutureWifey I enjoyed it! I’ve never done anything like this before but I had fun and would love to be back!
Really sweet! Praying for your union with GOD'S blessings and covering.
@@karenmcgee1869 thank you! The Lord bless you.
@@isaacjshepard you're welcome! Blessings to you too.
“If you can make a woman feel safe, then you can have her mind, body, and soul.” SAY IT!!!!!! 🗣🗣🗣
Wheeeewwww!!! Did he say that!!!!
Yes!!
AMEN!!!!
Amen!
So true.
I’m a practicing Muslim and I found this lovely. There’s always something to learn when we keep an open mind.
And Yeshua died also for you and loves you very much ❣🙏🏽
"A spouse, you can divorce. But most people never divorce their purpose"
Word!
I appreciated this gem as well!
Amen!
Agreed... What "God" put together. Many marital relationships are not God ordained. Often times, we place ourselves in relationships based on physical, financial, etc.. not Biblical principles.
THIS!
At the 37:30 mark when Isaac said that she "fits the description of a biblical wife" and he wanted to talk to her and see if they can work things out... Laaaaawd.
People need to recognize the characteristics of a good man/woman and stop cutting people off simply over a disagreement or because they have some thing(s) about them that you may not like.
This is what it's ALL about. Being able to recognize good when it's in front of you!
On a side note, I think my husband is probably younger than me and I'm very open to that!
Thanks for another amazing episode! 🥰
Amen!
Yes Believing God for my Kingdom wife. What I have on my vision board is of a biblical wife... There's no need to settle for anything less than that. I know what I desire and whT God has placed in me and I know that He has created an amazing Kingdom wife and purpose partner that He has for me
I love Isaac's testimony because it's not about man's version of sin. It's about what God sees as sin and he needed and wanted more.
Makes me scream I pray for a man like that I think that is so amazing what a gift these two are to each other from God it's clear to see.
Really a sweet episode. I loved how Courtney stated that Isaac covers her in prayer, adores her, and makes her feel safe. And how he loves on other people. Touched my heart! Praying that the LORD continues to bless and cover your union.
Amen!!! 💔
@@QuEEnNiNaMaRie Amen!
I like how this episode showcased a new relationship. I also like how it shows everyone's story isn't the same. We often like to compare each other's stories but you can't because everyone's story is unique to them. Not everybody's first date is a fairytale, but that doesn't mean the two people aren't still meant for each other.
She moved to Dallas because of her "Yes" to God, and hidden in her "Yes" was what she desired, her husband..That's deep!!!!
I totally agree with you!!
❤
I really enjoyed this one. It was a great reminder on godly dating. We leave in a world where dating boundaries have been so broken you feel like you have to fall in line and compromise to the worldly standard. This was a testimony and a great reminder that we can have godly relationships with our future partners.
This episode gave me such hope! Can't wait for the Dear Future Wifey Movie!!
Especially if it’s like the think like a man movie but With God as the center. Almost like why did I get married but with the real reason being how God led them to each other. That would be cool.
This was another great episode! “If you can make a woman feel safe, you can have her mind, body, and soul.” Yes indeed! I love how intentional they are. To be so young and so intentional.
I hope you feel better soon. Merry Christmas!
What a wonderful example of godly dating. Phenomenal episode!
Wonderful! And The LORD did all this in a couple months???
@@noble604 yes! There dating story is definitely a testament to God's providence.
I love the Dear Wifey platform you know how to discern your guest. This couple is such an inspiration in a dark world.
This is such a peaceful couple filled with God's love, wisdom and favor.
This was a good podcast. I literally started crying when they both spoke on the man at the bar telling Isaac that Courtney is his wife; that whole part had me in tears.
I love to hear people's salvation story. Hallelujah!
This is definitely among my favorite episodes Laterras. Isaac is super calm and confident, they look very calm and at peace together. No stress around them. I wish them well and give him kudos for going for what he wants. He's an old soul!
"The version of her that Imma get...NO MAN has ever had!!! " SIRRRR!!! whew!! The way this blessed my self-esteem!!!
#LemmePinItDownSoIRepeatItToMyFutureHubby
It is refreshing to see young people doing it God's way big ups to this two.👍🏿
I can’t date multiple people either, I just do not have it in me to be juggling all these other people lol.
What a beautiful dating story. I am in agreement about not dating multiple people. If we let God write our love story, He will send our person.
I totally agree with this because you are really wasting your time. God in his sovereignty will make it happen.
This being the Christmas week, I wasn't sure whether you were going to post a new episode or not. Good morning everyone 👋
I'm currently at work, so I look forward to listening to this episode later today. Have a wonderful day, everyone! Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 as well (to those who celebrate it).
I love her dating testimony. Her situation is so relatable.
I really appreciated Courtney freely talking about her story, too, and it struck me when she said another man spoke words over her that she’d never be submissive.
All errant words spoken over us we cancel because we know God can and will SURELY bring His purpose in us to pass. What a powerful story. Amen
AGREED! God is so good.
@@noble604 I like your post!
He sounds slot like Jonathan Evans. Great.story
So much confirmation in this interview...Im so excited ..one day soon I will be on this show ..
Me too sis!!!!
I was not expecting to meet my wife this year. We meet on a Facebook group. in March of this year. We got married Spetember 25 of this year. All of our past experiences prepared us for this. We also talked about everything also. Again thank you for your download into us. We watched you all through our road to marriage!!
Great job! Congrats!!!! Proud of you for being intentional.
Beautiful couple, I had hoped that this type of dating existed but never thought I'd ever behold it before experiencing it for myself. Thank you for sharing, many blessings to you both!!! 🙏🏽.
This was a great interview, Laterras. Such a holy, beautiful and pure relationship 👏🏾
This is my favorite episode so far, since this couple resonate with me, seeing that their walk is what I want as well. A man of God who can cover me as I'm also deep in my faith and walk with Christ.
I absolutely loved this episode and Courtney, baby girl I’m so so happy to see you glow like this! I can’t wait for what God has in store for you both! ❤️
Your support means the world to me! Love you ❤️
@@ByTheShepards I love you too babe
What a beautiful picture of God's heart for his people! All of our roads are different but when we truly surrender ALL to God he can do some truly amazing things. Enjoying this journey with you and expecting God to move in my life as he never has before. It's going to be amazing!!!
Wow look at God. Their marriage is going to bring God so much glory. God bless them and their future children 🙌🥰🙌
Definitely!!!!
What a lovely young couple. They and this podcast warms my heart and gives hope for our children's dating future. Thank you for this great content. Blessings!🥰
WHAT A SWEET LOVING COUPLE....MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS THIS UNION.....LORD WATCH
😂😂😂 The Lord is the Greatest Wingman! ( True for real) Another great episode!
Facts 😂😂😂
SO TRUE 🤣
Another great episode and plenty of good nuggets. I love how mature, intentional and communicative Isaac is. His age definitely is not and should not be a factor. I enjoyed listening to Courtney speak about her journey and it gives me hope because an ex once told me that I’m hard to get along with and not only was it my first time ever hearing that, but it also confirmed he wasn’t for me. I hope their dating life converts to married life.
I love the Spirit of this young couple. The intentionally while also just going with the flow is inspiring. I look forward to their wedding day cause as can see they're going to make it.
38:31 *chills*
39:41 awww and facts.
42:16 confidence!
42:24 - 44:28 big big wisdom delivered.
I would love to work with my person on a joint venture that aligns with our purpose.
*Try thinking of shyness as over-awareness of self that changes when focus is on something other than the discomfort or processing of feelings.
As a non-Christian, yet deeply spiritual person, I appreciate this conversation so much. Thank you all for having it.
Favorite quote: #1 need for man is providing place of peace - #1 need for woman is "make her feel safe"... make her feel safe and you have her completely = mind, body and soul. Wishing this beautiful couple God's blessed best - in Jesus name! Appreciate the continuous living intentional & transparent!! May the Lord continue to bless your efforts.
I am SOOOOOO happy for you Courtney!!! This was a beautiful episode!!
Thank you love 🥰🤗 you know this was long awaited lol
Hi Amber
This couple exhumed such peace & love.
I wish them greatness in Christ.
Another thought....
I often wonder if your future wife is somewhere in this world also writing letters to her future hubby. She's probably a writer like you keeping a journal talking to her future husband! That would be so AWESOME!💜💜
Possibly!
I love him!
Mannn I really enjoyed this episode!! Idk what it was but I loved hearing their story and how God can just be so intentional and have things aligned so well that it doesn’t take years! 🙌🏽 I just moved to the Houston area a week ago so now my eyes 👀 are peeled lol!
Welcome to Texas. Where did you move from?
@@DearFutureWifey Thank you! I moved from Philly.
Y'ALL ARE PREACHING ON THIS ONE!!!! GLORY!!!
Thank you for sharing…I appreciate this candid conversation. I have a healthy desire for marriage and this reminds me the importance of abiding with God-keeping my heart in His hands…continue to let Him prepare me and define my character.
He PRAYS for her!!! That is soooooo beautiful.🙏🏽
This was so enjoyable and refreshing to watch open and honest conversation. Thank you for the transparency.
This couple is so amazing, and refreshing. One of my favs on the podcast.
What a beautiful couple. They are truly an example of God's joining you together! Blessings and favor to your union!
This had a tear leave my eye. I remember when guys had a true heart to get to know you as a person. Send you cards and write you letters. I see God all in this. Isaac is a breath of fresh air. God is my favorite topic too. She is adorable for him. So nice see the beginning stages of love. Again. Not just in the movies.
This was healthy. Just healthy. I love how these couples meet each other. It's beautiful. The topic of inclusive and exclusivity is a need. I always enjoy hearing it. I also enjoy hearing what dating really is.
I feel blessed being part of this podcast.🙏🏽 Love straight from Heaven. It's a full course everytime.
Bless you guys. May you be blessed in your future union❤
This was amazing ! I’ve followed Courtney’s channel for awhile. I’m sooooooo happy for her!!! Their story is so encouraging and motivation to keep going!
I like them together. They seem like an awesome couple!! Thank you for having them on. I hope your meet up event goes well and raises a lot of money for Kingdom Royale 👏🏽 I'm so glad I found this podcast
Ring 💍 by spring, I love it.
Enjoyed this podcast, you just can’t go wrong with being intentional. May God bless their journey. When God prepares your mate he also prepares the journey.
"I done made a lot of things happen in the living room Isaac." LOL Blessings on this couple for the example they are setting.
Lol. My bad. Sometimes I keep it too LIT! Lol.
Beautiful episode!!!! Love this one and have hope for the future! Thank you Courtney, Isaac and Laterras!
Thank you Laterras for this channel. It fan the flames of hope. I pray everything you admire and patiently wait for in your partner, you get to experience at full capacity. I speak bliss, resoprocity, and that you be rewarded with a game changer connection. Have a good day.
Beautiful couple. Blessed by the glimpse into their journey. Many valuable gems very dropped. Laterras your camera quality phenomenally complimented their beautiful complections.
All I have to say is wow! This entire episode has spoken directly to my heart and the essence of the path that my life is headed in and just a side note for Mr. Whitfield, I absolutely know and love good times signed a 27-year-old woman lol.
Lol
This is a very candid and honest conversation!! I appreciate it. Laterras you are not the same man I met on your UA-cam station a couple seasons ago. I'm proud of your progress and growth in Jesus and will continue to pray for you as you continue your walk with The Lord and your journey to your purpose partner. Be encourage.
Man!! So many gems and jewels in this conversation!! Safety, security, peace, and communication are vital in relationships...... my God!! Keeping the Faith🙌🙏❤🙌🙏❤
This is so heartwarming …I praise God for this lovely couple.
Thank you for this episode, it was truly needed. Lastly, congratulations on Kingdom Royale!!!
Another good episode. Lord if You saying I need a younger man, I’m cool with that 🙌🏾🤣🙌🏾🤣❤️
Lol.
😂
Merry Christmas to you as well!!! Thanks for your time and for sharing another beautiful episode. It brings joy to my heart to see people being intentional and putting God first place, there’s just no other way. I pray them joy, love, peace, and prosperity on their journey.
Beautiful interview❤So heartwarming to listen to Isaac and Courtney. Thanks Laterras
Love this episode!
Courtney we got that same advice on this podcast, LOL! I remember when I heard it last year, I ran to my friend and said "Latteras says we must date multiple people" let's get out of the box & try, we were on a mission. Man I didn't even go as far as giving out my number & she didn't even last 2weeks talking with multiple guys, let alone go on a date, it was hilarious!!!
Love how 2 people saw Courtney differently, the ex didn't see wife and Corey saw wife in a short space of time. Isaac is so sweet and strong❤. That's why we should never force people to see what they don't see, even if you put a magnifying glass to their eye, they still won't see it. And as for me, I don't ever want to lead a man to be leader.
To you Latteras and your team Blessed Christmas and New Year in advance, you did a great job and brought us fantastic content, may God keep on advertising you. See you guys in 2022, stay safe and blessed!!
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas. By the way, edit "Corey" to "Isaac".
@@DearFutureWifey yiu are welcome, thank you too! Corrected thank you, I'm going to check the meaning of that name, I'm curious why I called him by it
Their story is so sweet 😍. I'm loving that you showcased something different Laterras - an older woman dating a younger man.
I totally agree!
I came here to say the same thing. I'm 44 and in the dating pool and am trying to make myself very ok with possibly dating younger than me.
@@adibanelson7666 I wasn't opened to it at first. Then I met this guy who was about 10 years younger.... He was so mature and had his life together! We talked for hours! It didn't work out, but I hope you give it a try ☺️
Yes. At a certain age its not easy meeting guys aged 40 plus that are single. It's a struggle. I may have to be more open minded too. This was a great ep illustrating the importance of thinking outside the box. Going beyond the superficial. Speaks to me!
I LOVE their story! It's the perfect example of what it looks like to be Spirit led and Kingdom-minded vs. being led by fleshly desires, superficial and worldly things.
I am gaining so much knowledge and insight from DFW guests. Thank you again Laterras for being obedient, and sharing your journey with us! 🤗
Come on sir! Men want peace in the home! Very true and powerful!! The number one need for a woman is being safe!! You nailed it!! Love this podcast!! It is literally changing my life and perspective!! Thank you for your obedience!! Please know I am praying for you and your future forever wife. 🙏🏽🤗💙
I definitely can’t see myself dating younger. I tried it and it just doesn’t work for my tolerance.
Issac seems like a solid young man. I wish them well in their relational journey
me too I cannot
What an insightful narrative ✨ learned so much, the wisdom and discernment is breath taking..
“He covers me with prayers”. Beautiful ❤️
This is beautiful!! May God continue to bless and keep them.🙏🏾
I’m so happy for you Courtney and this gives me hope that God can do this for me! Loved the 50 minute mark, it felt different, ready for that! ❤️
Thank you sis! God is able!
Another great video down in the books! I just pray that I am still around for the video by Laterras and HIS WIFE! I would like to witness her reading those letters.
This was yet another great episode! 🤩May God continue to Bless you in your journey and this beautiful couple! 😇
I have been a fan since the beginning and I’m never disappointed!!! Great episode!!!
I smiled through this episode, I pray that their relationship will be a blessing to others🙏
Phenomenal podcast....Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation!
Love this episode! Look how much God rewards when we live in obedience to him! Matthew 6:33- "Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you."...
There is no greater gift than love, which this couple has been rewarded with....Laterras, I pray you feel better soon. I appreciate you still doing this episode in spite of not being congested. May I suggest try taking Tumeric, Lemon and Honey in a cup of tea. Get Elderberry to boost your immune system and plenty of rest.
What a beautiful young sister, May God continue to bless her, Thank You for your honesty 🙏
My God! I love this whole episode and a lot of things you said was so deep that a lot of men don't understand! I hate when a guy tries to bring my past up when certain things shouldn't matter...
Loved this episode! It gave so much hope ! ♥️
Wow this was so special to hear. God bless this couple!
Such a great couple! I learned many valuable lessons from this episode. Thank you!
This is probably the most wholesome and healthy man I have ever witnessed on this podcast. God bless their marriage. This is how God wants it to be. HOLY. It doesn't have to come with a string of adultery, sex outside of marriage, gender roles, and carnality. His parents raised him very well.
The Holy Spirit is just beaming through you guys! Thank you for being a breath of fresh air, and for doing things God’s way.. it’s counter-cultural and I love it!
I stopped at the part where you asked them about their journeys to Christ, which sent me down my own path of wondering how I would answer that question if you had to ask me 😅 and wow wow wow. Absolutely mind-blowing revelations came through as iv just been processing with God for over an hour, video still paused at 19minutes.
At the end of that path was the biggest revelation of all: That God has been Abba to me this whole time and my entire life. I never grew up with a father so when I say me finally experiencing God as Abba is gigantic; this is an understatement.
Further, not only did I receive this revelation, this revelation revealed another really deep revelation and that is of finally understanding who I am and that my identity is in Christ🎉🎉🎉🎉 and because of this, when I tell you soooooo much makes sense! PRAISE THE LIVING GOD!!!!!
Thank you for your podcast because wow, the freedom that has just come over me is phenomenally and fundamentally huge (I'm trying to use big words to try capture exactly how big this all is lol, especially for the kingdom, my calling and my assignment, including in the marriage im waiting on)❤ Great blessing Laterras . All the way from South Africa
One of my favorite episodes! ❤️
Wow, powerful testimony! Btw, she looks like a young Roberta Flack 😊❤
They give me hope ❤️
Covering, safety, cultivating, peace. Warmth surrounded me hearing these explanations. BOSS wifey letter.
Very beautiful couple and story! I am newly single so this episode is encouraging me to leave room for GOD to move beyond any biases I may have......dating younger has been a big one for me since I did it once and it went horribly wrong......will have to pray for the Lord to tear down any walls I have built up so i can be completely open in my dating journey......glad your COVID test came back negative.....🙌🙌🙌......i know personally that Mullein Leaf and sea moss help clear up congestion well.....i use the mullein leaf drops and sea moss gel or capsules.......pray you feel better soon.......🙏
Courtney said that Isaac didn't come how she expected him to because of his age. This reminds me that often when God supplies us with what we *need* it doesn't come exactly how we *want* or expect it. However, once we open and delve into the package that's when we can have the smile that Courtney had when she said "He's just amazing!"
On the other hand, many times when the devil is trying to deceive us he will present us with what we *want* exactly how we want it. This often traps us in some toxic situation-ships that we can't seem to get out of because 'how dare we turn our backs on the very thing we desired'
LIT family, let us not miss out on the blessings of Jesus because the packaging doesn't comply with our specifications. (Isaiah 55:8)
Facts!
Exactly! As it states in 1 Samuel 16:7 (AMP): "For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
So satan usually trips us up, either by the lust of the flesh; lust of the eyes; or the pride of life.
1 John 2:15-16 (AMP) states:
Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world-the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]-these do not come from the Father, but are from the world.
Worship is a prerequisite of mine as well. Worship IS the most intimate space to be in. That’s where Adam recognized Eve…she was in the presence of her Father…God💕
Merry Christmas to and your children Laterras, and thank you for your inspiring podcasts. What a lovely young couple having so much maturity to live for god. ❤️🩹I love how you say that all of your guest are intentional. I noticed with purpose dating, the couples know and get confirmation in a short time that it’s ordained by god, that is so amazing! Thank you for all you do. I pray for the success of your wonderful project for young black boys, this is so needed! It’s going to be amazing to see your vision come to fruition!🌺Blessings to you!
