People have made marriage an idol. I’m 38. Not married. No kids. Content and happy and people are often times very bothered by it because they expect me to be miserable. Marriage is not a life goal for me. If it happens it will be a God thing.
🎯🎯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️ Yeeesss!!!! Although I've been divorced 11 yrs I feel the same!! I'm 37, no bio-kids & three God-children. It would be nice to be married again, but I'm not pressed about it. 🤷🏽♀️
@Janella Murphy Amen to that. Singleness is often time seen as a deficit, and many will not understand that we are happily single. Sometimes, we ourselves don't appreciate this season, I can attest to it, but I'm learning. We need to support each other just as people in marriages do.
I was with the wrong husband I was a good wife to him in every sense of the word. Not argumentative not loud willing to work it out with him. He was the problem he got married did the same to his second wife she end up leaving him and got married to someone else. He realize he was the problem but it’s to late for him and I. He is still living a life of sin. My life has changed now living for God.
I travelled to Paris and Lisbon by myself as a single lady. Best days ever!!!! I travelled to The Algarve with my 5 year old daughter as a single mum. Best days ever!!! My fiance and I met at a friend's wedding. My daughter and I were living our best life, even at the wedding. My fiance told the groom, days after the wedding, he would marry me. We hit off this peaceful, beautiful connection right away. The rest is history. God is the foundation of us. This is a new experience for me. Live your best life in all seasons.
She is the example of the importance of spending your single life "living" instead of "waiting". This is EXACTLY where I am now. Not one tear I've cried, negative encounter I've experienced or moment of my life will be wasted. Glory to GOD!
At 32 I've been through so much bad and I'm a mother of 2 young boys. Been through the foster care system and both parents being unstable in so many ways has taught me a lot of WRONGS. I've always been one to want to do better always. So this message speaks volumes to me. I've looked for love in all the wrong places. But with that I can see how much time I've wasted. I do want a husband and I'm not ashamed to say it.... but I no longer want to waste my life away. I'll be single and happy in it as God prepares me for "him". Until then I'm loving on me and my boys!
You're single until married. Don't glamorize married waiting and settle just because. Live while you live. If marriage happens, make sure it positively adds to your life. If marriage doesn't happen, keep positively adding to your life.
“You cannot be a cynic about love and attract it at the same time.” Faith Jenkins-Lattimore 🙌🏽 💯 Words & thoughts create our realities. If you want a Loving relationship, claim it, speak it, believe it!! No “but’s”, “and’s”, or “if’s.”

I think the biggest Gem dropped here is when she said she stopped holding on and completely trusted God with her desire..and she was willing to give up on that desire if God said so...She stopped trying to do it on her own went abt life and God came through for her, how much more would he do for you ❤❤
That dang on time frame we put on ourselves as single folks 🙄.... I've passed all of my time frames🫣. Still no children, no husband, no white picket fence 😢 lol. I know God is working it all out in his timing, though! 🙏🏾 I will be patient because that blessing that's coming has to be something different 😁
@roselineegoume2333 HE will, beautiful! We just have to keep praying & seeking our Father in Heaven & everything else will fall right into place as it should.... I'm trusting in that. I'm 40 but I know God can do all things & make anything possible!
I'll be 40 in a few weeks. I've never been married. I don't have any children. God has blessed me with a great career, and I'm blessed to have a spiritual relationship with Him. Similarly, I get asked the same questions. Why are you not married? Why don't you have any children? This video further confirms don't let it discourage me, and definitely a reminder not to just settle. I'm attracting a God-ordained centered relationship/marriage. I've got the book and can't wait to read it. Continual blessings to you both.
I would watch this a thousand times over. I bought her book and looking toward rereading for this holiday as I make my holiday purposeful as a single woman. May God open up a force for good in developing better women and authentic godly men.
I've been through so much as a woman. Abuse in all forms.. Mental, physical, sexual financial and spiritual abuse. I had to heal myself in all those forms. I thank God for keeping me. I will not settle. ❤
I absolutely loved how Faith honored her Husband by sharing how blessed she is in marriage with a Man of Character,Integrity, and the handling/care of others.
My husband is the same way. Why women want anything else is beyond me. He picked me at 21 years old but I would have waited as long as she did if I had to. No clowns here
Being single and African at that age is a whole different ball game. The unsolicited opinions and the unwarranted advice from family members and relatives can be exhausting. May God grant you grace to navigate the season of singleness.

As a #BlackTherapist I recommended this book AND this episode of the podcast to some of my patients. This is so powerful. Transparency is the greatest thing we can give the world. I stand on that & will always heal, loudly. Thank you for this!!
Every woman who is on the path to finding themselves with God, should definitely listen and rewatch this. You are not alone and it does not take anything away from you just because you’re in the limbo season. The best is yet to come!💫♥️
To hear a successful black woman like her say she had to “learn to love herself”, this really says a lot about her character and integrity as a black woman. I too had to learn to love myself and it makes a difference in your life choices. Thank you for sharing.
What a blessing hearing from Judge Faith! I'm 48 and single,no kids so Lord knows I've gotten asked "those annoying questions " all the time. I refuse to settle. I can totally relate to everything she was saying. I'll continue to wait until God sends the right one! I needed this encouragement . Hopefully my king will find me soon because the dating pool sucks.
Girl, I am 56 and divorced. I just learned that I will not settle! It's never to late. I would definately get married again to the man God wants me to be with only!
Her level of self-awareness is GOAT level. I know her husband is blessed. Listening to this one was kinda therapeutical for me. Thanks for doing these podcasts. I really love hearing these different perspectives and I'm learning a lot. Thank you for your heart in this too! You're future wife is going to be blessed.
I kid u not guys. Took her book with me to read on a flight and after the foreword/intro I had a gut reaction that the relationship I was in would not survive. I read the book all the way to my destination and within 1-2 days, I was able to see with full clarity who the guy I was with was. He acted up and unlike all the other times he acted up, this time I heard Faith in my ears. That relationship ended before my 4 day trip could wrap up. Never spoke with him again…it’s been tough tho but I’m not settling for crumbs and hope. I credit Faith for helping me walk away.
What a beautiful, classy, intelligent and uplifting Black woman. I admired her as a young Black judge but after seeing her on this platform and speaking her truth, makes me admire her even more. I truly wish Faith and Kenny a beautiful healthy baby and a long, strong, loving and healthy marriage. I haven't had the opportunity to read her book but it will be one of my books to read for the New Year!!!
This has really blessed my heart. I’m a high achieving woman I got the great job the house the car daughter is grown and gone but I have been unsuccessful in love. Listening to this podcast changed my trajectory of thinking. I pray over every single man and woman that God will give you the love and peace that you desire and May God bless you all!!!
This episode was a WORD within itself!!! I do not need to keep waiting around for someone that isn't 100% ready to move forward with me. I need to INVEST in myself more and allow God to do the rest, because he has the BEST in store for me!!!
This episode was SOOOOO needed for me right now!! I have been "sad" during this dating season of my life. It's the holidays and I've NEVER been single SINGLE. Like phone dry and no one to hug 😔 but I know that I must stand firm on what I truly desire so this episode gave me Hope. Thank you Judge Faith!!
Yes indeed sis,me too. Yet, God is faithful in this season too--His love never fails❣️ sis, we're in a GREAT space. May His peace continue to overwhelm us🙌🏾🙏🏽
So many of us went through our youth navigating relationships with zero guidance. So happy for the younger generation. I also had fun in Paris alone. It was magical
This is so encouraging, the fact alone, that she's 45 and pregnant! We are so much looking forward to the Lord blessing us with children. I am high-key encouraged! (And I'm also working in the legal field.). Thank You and stay blessed! Emily from Budapest Hungary
This is one of the best episodes ever!!! Faith's testimony is such a blessing to us single girls that are waiting on the Lord. Her honesty and vulnerability and faith is soo encouraging!!
I love what she said: it ain't fair nor possible to put the responsability of MY happiness on somebody else's hands @41:58 I felt same at that moment Loved that they did a word a affirmation ceremony wow Been single & celibate since 2016, this podcast uplifts and helps me. Could you please have @MsNaturallyMary and her hubby she'd be perfect on the show!
I showed up late to the party (2023) and trying to binge watch all the previous episodes that were produced. However, the nuggets obtained in these episodes can't be rushed through. I need time to let it all sink in. I'm so grateful for this platform and all the care that goes into each one. Kudos to you 👏🏽
I can totally relate to what she is saying, throughout my 20’s I enjoyed dating and thought marriage would come eventually, it wasn’t until I graduated from college and well into my career everyone around me was asking “when are you getting married?” “when are you going to start having babies you know you’re not getting any younger?” that’s when I started getting anxious and feeling inadequate. I’ve been married for 14 years now, and one thing I’ve learned is everybody isn’t meant to be married we can be our best selves on our own, marriage isn’t a milestone we all have to reach, it is a beautiful union but its hard work even with the most stable relationship. If I could go back to my 20 year old self I would tell her not to listen to people and stress over getting married.
WOW, this is a Godsend!! I had just been journaling my frustrations and disappointments about not being in a relationship right now. God woke me up last night with encouragement and now this podcast Faith ministered life into dead places in me. I immediately purchased the book! I'll keep pressing on in prayer and faith. Blessings from the Netherlands!
All I can say is this is a God ordained prophetic channel, which gives a timely word with precision and accuracy which reflects the heart of Jesus through His love and grace. I'm honored to encounter such a divine ministry that God has graced you with, thank you for consistently responding to your calling Latteras 🙌🏾
I am 36 years old although I don't look it so when people find out my age, they will say "wow you're so pretty and have a good career so why aren't you married." I try not to feel bad about myself especially after coming from a relationship where I picked up myself and traveled to another state to be with him. In the meantime, I have been doing solo travel internationally and traveling to places I never thought I would but that's God. In due time, God will send the man that he has ordained for me. When God provide something for you, you just know because there's peace.
The way that Faith spoke on paying attention to actions more than words is the way I wanted my mother to speak with me. It was lovingly direct. It empowered me!🧡
Listen!!! Your wife is watching this show!! NO DOUBT! The lord will appoint both of you in the right timing! Keep stepping into what the lord has for you ❤
This was beautiful. I am 50+ and Faith just dropped gems of life and it has given me courage/ strength to stay true to myself. It's worth staying the course and not settling. God bless everyone for 2023.🤗👏👏👏
I’m not single but her testimony has me thinking of my 6yr old daughter. Ordering her book to gift to my daughter for when she’s in that season of her life.
⭐️This episode has answered soooooo many of my being single questions. I’ve followed faith from judge faith all the way to divorce court but never have I received as much enlightenment as I did from her right now. You hear people say all the time to be your own happiness and date your self but they never tell you how. I write down affirmations until im blue in the face because im big on law of attraction and keeping my vibrations high because you attract the people who are on your same vibration. I know this. But Faith…. This was so detailed that I feel like I was supposed to pay for listening to you drop these gems. I just cleaned out my walk in closet and was wondering what to do with all the extra wall space. Now i see why i was driven to clean it this morning… it’s because I am going to put a picture up of you, kenny and your story as a reminder that finding someone just as healthy as me is out there. Im buying your book just as a thank you. My daughters dad was killed when she was 5 days old, this was 10 years ago. She has never seen me in a relationship because I haven’t found anyone in a good place. I don’t want my daughter growing up up not knowing how a man should treat a woman and you made me feel better about having standards. Crazy how you’ve changed my life and you don’t even know it. -Natalya Bonhomme
Amen. All break ups and rejection is not about us. I held on to a relationship for 18 years. I knew he didn’t want me like I wanted him but I didn’t want start over. Eventually I walked away. Shocked him. Not sure why he was shocked. First I was resentful because when I met him I could still have children. Now I’m past that stage. I am traveling now and enjoying me. I found that I am the best date I know.
Faith’s personality and delivery are both so refreshing and life-giving. This was my pleasure to enjoy. Thank you Faith for demonstrating what a person can expect and actually have when you choose not to settle. Now, I have to go get the book! 😁
I agree because I had to learn in my life not to wait on my husband at the time to make me happy and do things with! You’re spot on with the title and topics, I settled for 25 years and we never became one so I took a leap of faith and walked away from it. I’m more happier alone then I was while married. I have peace that I will not compromise with no one or nothing.
Send a clear message to the universe about what you want. In the meantime, appreciate your single life, continue to love and don't settle. Thank you Judge Faith!🥰
I have downloaded Faith's book, and it is a game-changer! I had the audio version on repeat everywhere I went, lol. It's like a close friend talking to you; when she shares her journey and wisdom. 🙏🏾❤ Laterras, you are knocking it out of the ballpark with interviews this year. God bless you, your family, and your vision. We appreciate you!
I have the book and bought it last year as Christmas gifts for friends that were in or not in relationships. Hearing Faith talk about her book in her own voice was even more powerful. I have been through it all like most and have not given up on finding my husband. Laterras, thank you for this platform for men/women to see it is okay to be vulnerable and get knowledge on things that may not feel comfortable in talking to their "friends". Faith, I am sooooo happy for you and thank you for this book.
I LOVE this: Especially when see broken down their.. 1. Patterns 2. She said If they like you, you will know. If they don't, you will be confused 🎯. I know the devil will send you, your type but God will send you His Will. I'm not getting Wet in a storm that's not mine. I'll pass. I won't settle. God timing, God's will. Laterras another Great Episode. Thank you Faith. Ordered my book and audiobook download today.🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼 Congratulations 🎉🎊🤗
The great thing that stands out to me is through her rejection and relationship journeys, she did not say anything about “ forget this men” “ I can do this by myself “. She was comfortable with herself but knew her desires ❤
I loved this episode. I'm a 36 year old single mother and God has blessed me with a career I've always prayed for. I've been told to diminish myself so that I will not scare any potential boyfriends away. Though I want to be a wife one day, in this season I am traveling as much as I can and pursuing a relationship with God and being the kind of woman I can be proud of. This episode really is an affirmation to keep doing what I'm doing.
I can open a jewelry store with all of the jewels she dropped!!! Faith, thank you! Allow God to continue to use you. We need our sistas to help with the next generation. This blessed me. It is one of my favorite episodes.
I am glad to listen to this because it reminded me that there is nothing wrong with me being single at 43, do not settle lady. God will bring someone made for you because wow the dating streets have taught us a lot.
Faith looks sooo beautiful, she is glowing!!! But I do believe that is how God meant for marriage to be. It should be fruitful within your union and then it will overflow into your friends & your communities life!! Keep sowing where you wanna go & grow!
This interview was so refreshing! It gave me another boost of energy and hope to continue on this single journey in confidence that I will cross paths with my boo very soon.
So much wisdom in this interview. Some nuggets “ Your good news will always be a threat to an insecure person” “You will not find someone in a happy healthy fulfilled place in their life telling you that you’re going to fail at something” Consider the source… “ do not take criticism from someone who you wouldn’t take advice from… damaged dreamers are not telling you your story, they’re telling you theirs” they speak from a place of their trauma or pain not from a place of what’s possible for you . With God ALL things are possible
You remind me if Felisha Rashad... and Sis, I have several children out of wedlock... only because of trauma through my childhood I didn'tmake not so good choices... I thought if I had children I would be happy... not true at all it just added more trauma.. I am now going on 55 learning to love myself to the point people literally like to hear negative things regarding my life... I am now working on moving into another environment where people are respectful and mind there business unless otherwise!
Beautiful , intelligent, lovely Judge Faith ! I did read the book last year & it definitely helped me feel secure in my singleness , bc society tends to stigmatize singleness at a certain age (43) as if there’s something wrong . But In my reality there’s something very right in me choosing to embrace the season I’m in . Love this episode !
Omg I wish this book was out when I was young. I am now 64 and been through enough bad relationships. Saw all the signs of a non committed relationships. I am buying Faith book and will share🌹
I'm a guy who purchased this book over a year ago. It's very eye opening about human behavior in dating and how you should cultivate your own self love so that you can attract the love that you desire. Excellent job Judge Faith. This podcast was excellent as well. 💪🏾💪🏾
Another great one. Be your own cheerleaders in your relationships and marriages. Iron sharpens iron. Faith and Kenny’s marriage is and will continue to be just fine. What a blessing their child will be born into and have the joy of living under. Laterras…she’s on the way and I couldn’t be happier for you. Blessings to all of you.
Bro!! This was so necessary. So equipping, so healing and so freeing. From the very on set when she said you don't start over but you're starting from experience. Shackles came right off. Thank you, Mrs. Lattimore ❤
I woke up at 3:30am for no reason and this video was in my UA-cam feed. I believe it was divinely inspired. I receive this blessing and I just bought the book. Thank you!
I went over to Kindle and bought the book before this spectacular, educational, inspiring, life-affirming podcast ended. Woo! This was a blessing. I watched Kenny Lattimore's episode earlier today and Faith's is the icing on the cake. Getting both of their perspectives on their journeys is incredible! I admire the way Kenny and Faith carry themselves. You see why they're together. I pray they have a healthy, lifelong union and safe, smooth delivery of their baby.
Best book I have ever read, all the way from Nairobi, Kenya. It's such a blessing to have women like Faith write such content. Am glad that through her book I found this community.
Don't settle. Those red flags become a whole mess in forever. A whole 24/7 mess. When you feel yourself settling, remember God doesn't do "good-enough." God's best for you is coming.
Never seen this podcast. Glad Judge Faith was my 1st. This was absolutely beautiful! She preached! Almost had me cut a step @ work & definitely had me tear up. Congratulations on new baby Faith! May your marriage & family be blessed! 💕

"He's one of the best human beings I know"....what an honor from a wife.
Yess! It brought me to tears
It brought me to tears also and I felt the genuiness of her heart saying it. ❤

To hear a successful black woman like her say she had to “learn to love herself”, this really says a lot about her character and integrity as a black woman. I too had to learn to love myself and it makes a difference in your life choices.
Thank you for sharing.
WOW! "Closed doors have the meaning you give to them" -Faith Jenkins Lattimore. This is powerful!
What a blessing hearing from Judge Faith! I'm 48 and single,no kids so Lord knows I've gotten asked "those annoying questions " all the time. I refuse to settle. I can totally relate to everything she was saying. I'll continue to wait until God sends the right one! I needed this encouragement . Hopefully my king will find me soon because the dating pool sucks.
I get asked this at 30 and it’s frustrating.
Likewise Sis, I'm 48 as well single with no kids my king will be put in my path in due season.💯
Just turned 29 and get asked this so much . I have learned everything in my younger years . Now I date and TAKE MY TIME LOL.
Girl, I am 56 and divorced. I just learned that I will not settle! It's never to late. I would definately get married again to the man God wants me to be with only!
The dating pool definitely suck
"Sow where you want to go, and sow where you want to grow." Double wow 👌.
Ephesians 3:20, yes!
Her level of self-awareness is GOAT level. I know her husband is blessed. Listening to this one was kinda therapeutical for me. Thanks for doing these podcasts. I really love hearing these different perspectives and I'm learning a lot. Thank you for your heart in this too! You're future wife is going to be blessed.
I kid u not guys. Took her book with me to read on a flight and after the foreword/intro I had a gut reaction that the relationship I was in would not survive. I read the book all the way to my destination and within 1-2 days, I was able to see with full clarity who the guy I was with was. He acted up and unlike all the other times he acted up, this time I heard Faith in my ears. That relationship ended before my 4 day trip could wrap up. Never spoke with him again…it’s been tough tho but I’m not settling for crumbs and hope. I credit Faith for helping me walk away.
What a beautiful, classy, intelligent and uplifting Black woman. I admired her as a young Black judge but after seeing her on this platform and speaking her truth, makes me admire her even more. I truly wish Faith and Kenny a beautiful healthy baby and a long, strong, loving and healthy marriage. I haven't had the opportunity to read her book but it will be one of my books to read for the New Year!!!
whew as a 30 year old who is been chronically single i can appreciate her words so much
Same. Im going on 5 years single 😮💨
This has really blessed my heart. I’m a high achieving woman I got the great job the house the car daughter is grown and gone but I have been unsuccessful in love. Listening to this podcast changed my trajectory of thinking. I pray over every single man and woman that God will give you the love and peace that you desire and May God bless you all!!!
Pray for you too
This man is ama8!; I’ve been watching he podcast: m.ua-cam.com/video/pGTCwwSGYNY/v-deo.html ❤️
Praying for you also. God is good. We just have to hang in there.
Amen and may He fulfill your hearts desires as well.
Amen !thank you 🙏🏾 God bless you too
This episode was a WORD within itself!!! I do not need to keep waiting around for someone that isn't 100% ready to move forward with me. I need to INVEST in myself more and allow God to do the rest, because he has the BEST in store for me!!!
This episode was SOOOOO needed for me right now!! I have been "sad" during this dating season of my life. It's the holidays and I've NEVER been single SINGLE. Like phone dry and no one to hug 😔 but I know that I must stand firm on what I truly desire so this episode gave me Hope. Thank you Judge Faith!!
Sending ❤virtual huggs
It’s difficult and first but then it becomes peaceful!
Yes it’s ok. No going back or calling ex lovers/“friends.”
Thank ya'll!! Backwards is a 🙅🏾♀️
Yes indeed sis,me too. Yet, God is faithful in this season too--His love never fails❣️ sis, we're in a GREAT space. May His peace continue to overwhelm us🙌🏾🙏🏽
She is 1 Million times correct, Laterras' transparency and vulnerability is very attractive! Keep it LIT!!!
So many of us went through our youth navigating relationships with zero guidance. So happy for the younger generation. I also had fun in Paris alone. It was magical
This is so encouraging, the fact alone, that she's 45 and pregnant! We are so much looking forward to the Lord blessing us with children. I am high-key encouraged! (And I'm also working in the legal field.). Thank You and stay blessed!
Emily from Budapest Hungary
She had me emotional, & I don’t have pregnancy as an excuse lol. Such a sweet and encouraging love story! Wishing them abundant blessings!🥹💙
This is one of the best episodes ever!!! Faith's testimony is such a blessing to us single girls that are waiting on the Lord. Her honesty and vulnerability and faith is soo encouraging!!
I love what she said: it ain't fair nor possible to put the responsability of MY happiness on somebody else's hands
@41:58 I felt same at that moment
Loved that they did a word a affirmation ceremony wow
Been single & celibate since 2016, this podcast uplifts and helps me. Could you please have @MsNaturallyMary and her hubby she'd be perfect on the show!
Indeeeddddd
I showed up late to the party (2023) and trying to binge watch all the previous episodes that were produced. However, the nuggets obtained in these episodes can't be rushed through. I need time to let it all sink in. I'm so grateful for this platform and all the care that goes into each one. Kudos to you 👏🏽
I can totally relate to what she is saying, throughout my 20’s I enjoyed dating and thought marriage would come eventually, it wasn’t until I graduated from college and well into my career everyone around me was asking “when are you getting married?” “when are you going to start having babies you know you’re not getting any younger?” that’s when I started getting anxious and feeling inadequate. I’ve been married for 14 years now, and one thing I’ve learned is everybody isn’t meant to be married we can be our best selves on our own, marriage isn’t a milestone we all have to reach, it is a beautiful union but its hard work even with the most stable relationship. If I could go back to my 20 year old self I would tell her not to listen to people and stress over getting married.
WOW, this is a Godsend!! I had just been journaling my frustrations and disappointments about not being in a relationship right now. God woke me up last night with encouragement and now this podcast Faith ministered life into dead places in me. I immediately purchased the book! I'll keep pressing on in prayer and faith. Blessings from the Netherlands!
Start dating you... spending quality time with you...self love is key

👏🏾The book is great ❣️
You can message let's talk
This is sent straight from Satan. More entitled average black saying not to settle for an average man. Die alone.
This woman is a well of wisdom knowledge rightly applied.. She absolutely hasn't taken her experiences for granted.
All I can say is this is a God ordained prophetic channel, which gives a timely word with precision and accuracy which reflects the heart of Jesus through His love and grace. I'm honored to encounter such a divine ministry that God has graced you with, thank you for consistently responding to your calling Latteras 🙌🏾
"I won't settle" 👏🏿❤️ I went straight to audible. This episode was timely as well!
I am 36 years old although I don't look it so when people find out my age, they will say "wow you're so pretty and have a good career so why aren't you married." I try not to feel bad about myself especially after coming from a relationship where I picked up myself and traveled to another state to be with him. In the meantime, I have been doing solo travel internationally and traveling to places I never thought I would but that's God. In due time, God will send the man that he has ordained for me. When God provide something for you, you just know because there's peace.
The way that Faith spoke on paying attention to actions more than words is the way I wanted my mother to speak with me. It was lovingly direct. It empowered me!🧡
Listen!!! Your wife is watching this show!! NO DOUBT! The lord will appoint both of you in the right timing! Keep stepping into what the lord has for you ❤
This was beautiful. I am 50+ and Faith just dropped gems of life and it has given me courage/ strength to stay true to myself. It's worth staying the course and not settling. God bless everyone for 2023.🤗👏👏👏
I’m not single but her testimony has me thinking of my 6yr old daughter. Ordering her book to gift to my daughter for when she’s in that season of her life.
That’s so sweet
Whew! Closed doors have the meaning you give to them. 👏🏿
⭐️This episode has answered soooooo many of my being single questions. I’ve followed faith from judge faith all the way to divorce court but never have I received as much enlightenment as I did from her right now. You hear people say all the time to be your own happiness and date your self but they never tell you how. I write down affirmations until im blue in the face because im big on law of attraction and keeping my vibrations high because you attract the people who are on your same vibration. I know this. But Faith…. This was so detailed that I feel like I was supposed to pay for listening to you drop these gems. I just cleaned out my walk in closet and was wondering what to do with all the extra wall space. Now i see why i was driven to clean it this morning… it’s because I am going to put a picture up of you, kenny and your story as a reminder that finding someone just as healthy as me is out there. Im buying your book just as a thank you. My daughters dad was killed when she was 5 days old, this was 10 years ago. She has never seen me in a relationship because I haven’t found anyone in a good place. I don’t want my daughter growing up up not knowing how a man should treat a woman and you made me feel better about having standards. Crazy how you’ve changed my life and you don’t even know it. -Natalya Bonhomme
I love Faith ❤️ Her energy, her wisdom, her spirit, she is an amazing woman. This interview blessed me. Thanks so much for doing this 🙌🏽
Amen. All break ups and rejection is not about us. I held on to a relationship for 18 years. I knew he didn’t want me like I wanted him but I didn’t want start over. Eventually I walked away. Shocked him. Not sure why he was shocked.
First I was resentful because when I met him I could still have children. Now I’m past that stage.
I am traveling now and enjoying me. I found that I am the best date I know.
Faith’s personality and delivery are both so refreshing and life-giving. This was my pleasure to enjoy.
Thank you Faith for demonstrating what a person can expect and actually have when you choose not to settle.
Now, I have to go get the book! 😁
I'm 36. Single without kids and I can definitely relate to this.
I agree because I had to learn in my life not to wait on my husband at the time to make me happy and do things with! You’re spot on with the title and topics, I settled for 25 years and we never became one so I took a leap of faith and walked away from it.
I’m more happier alone then I was while married. I have peace that I will not compromise with no one or nothing.
"Do not take criticism from people you don' take advice from"....... Deep!!!!
Send a clear message to the universe about what you want. In the meantime, appreciate your single life, continue to love and don't settle. Thank you Judge Faith!🥰
I have downloaded Faith's book, and it is a game-changer! I had the audio version on repeat everywhere I went, lol. It's like a close friend talking to you; when she shares her journey and wisdom. 🙏🏾❤ Laterras, you are knocking it out of the ballpark with interviews this year. God bless you, your family, and your vision. We appreciate you!
Thank you so much. It's all God. He picks who He wants
I want to download Faith's book for myself!!! ASAP🤗🤗
❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯God bless you Faith🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love your Platform Laterras 💜💜💜💯💯💯👌🏾👌🏾Excellent job sir, God bless you!!!
I have the book and bought it last year as Christmas gifts for friends that were in or not in relationships. Hearing Faith talk about her book in her own voice was even more powerful. I have been through it all like most and have not given up on finding my husband. Laterras, thank you for this platform for men/women to see it is okay to be vulnerable and get knowledge on things that may not feel comfortable in talking to their "friends". Faith, I am sooooo happy for you and thank you for this book.
I LOVE this: Especially when see broken down their.. 1. Patterns 2. She said If they like you, you will know. If they don't, you will be confused 🎯. I know the devil will send you, your type but God will send you His Will. I'm not getting Wet in a storm that's not mine. I'll pass. I won't settle. God timing, God's will. Laterras another Great Episode. Thank you Faith. Ordered my book and audiobook download today.🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼 Congratulations 🎉🎊🤗
"I'm not getting wet in a storm that's not mine."
The great thing that stands out to me is through her rejection and relationship journeys, she did not say anything about “ forget this men” “ I can do this by myself “. She was comfortable with herself but knew her desires ❤
I loved this episode. I'm a 36 year old single mother and God has blessed me with a career I've always prayed for. I've been told to diminish myself so that I will not scare any potential boyfriends away. Though I want to be a wife one day, in this season I am traveling as much as I can and pursuing a relationship with God and being the kind of woman I can be proud of. This episode really is an affirmation to keep doing what I'm doing.
Same here
I really resonate with Faith. She's a clear speaker and introspective thinker. I have her book on audible. It's good!
Laterras, I pray you find your Wifey. You're truly a man with purpose and heart. And as a woman, I appreciate your transparency.
I can open a jewelry store with all of the jewels she dropped!!! Faith, thank you! Allow God to continue to use you. We need our sistas to help with the next generation. This blessed me. It is one of my favorite episodes.
I’m crying during this interview- this woman is speaking the facts of my life and desires of my heart ❤️
I love Faith. She is my inspiration not to give up on love and to never settle ❤🙏🏾
This podcast has restored my belief that there is a whole world of y’all out there.
I am glad to listen to this because it reminded me that there is nothing wrong with me being single at 43, do not settle lady. God will bring someone made for you because wow the dating streets have taught us a lot.
I think that it's so cool that she was the recipient of Prayers that had been prayed for him😁
Faith looks sooo beautiful, she is glowing!!! But I do believe that is how God meant for marriage to be. It should be fruitful within your union and then it will overflow into your friends & your communities life!! Keep sowing where you wanna go & grow!
This interview was so refreshing! It gave me another boost of energy and hope to continue on this single journey in confidence that I will cross paths with my boo very soon.
Me Too.. ❤️👍🏾🙏🏾Let’s Keep Hope Alive!!! #Waiting On My ❤️Boo❤️
So much wisdom in this interview. Some nuggets
“ Your good news will always be a threat to an insecure person”
“You will not find someone in a happy healthy fulfilled place in their life telling you that you’re going to fail at something”
Consider the source… “ do not take criticism from someone who you wouldn’t take advice from… damaged dreamers are not telling you your story, they’re telling you theirs” they speak from a place of their trauma or pain not from a place of what’s possible for you . With God ALL things are possible
53, single, no kids and you're right, I have more internal AND external peace when I'm not dating.
You remind me if Felisha Rashad... and Sis, I have several children out of wedlock... only because of trauma through my childhood I didn'tmake not so good choices... I thought if I had children I would be happy... not true at all it just added more trauma.. I am now going on 55 learning to love myself to the point people literally like to hear negative things regarding my life... I am now working on moving into another environment where people are respectful and mind there business unless otherwise!
Beautiful , intelligent, lovely Judge Faith ! I did read the book last year & it definitely helped me feel secure in my singleness , bc society tends to stigmatize singleness at a certain age (43) as if there’s something wrong . But In my reality there’s something very right in me choosing to embrace the season I’m in . Love this episode !
... something very right in me." 💗 Amen!
You can not be cynical about love and attract it! 🙏🏽
Omg I wish this book was out when I was young. I am now 64 and been through enough bad relationships. Saw all the signs of a non committed relationships. I am buying Faith book and will share🌹
I'm a guy who purchased this book over a year ago. It's very eye opening about human behavior in dating and how you should cultivate your own self love so that you can attract the love that you desire. Excellent job Judge Faith. This podcast was excellent as well. 💪🏾💪🏾
Another great one. Be your own cheerleaders in your relationships and marriages. Iron sharpens iron. Faith and Kenny’s marriage is and will continue to be just fine. What a blessing their child will be born into and have the joy of living under. Laterras…she’s on the way and I couldn’t be happier for you. Blessings to all of you.
Bro!! This was so necessary. So equipping, so healing and so freeing. From the very on set when she said you don't start over but you're starting from experience. Shackles came right off. Thank you, Mrs. Lattimore ❤
I will not settle, is my motto 😇
I woke up at 3:30am for no reason and this video was in my UA-cam feed. I believe it was divinely inspired. I receive this blessing and I just bought the book. Thank you!
I went over to Kindle and bought the book before this spectacular, educational, inspiring, life-affirming podcast ended. Woo! This was a blessing. I watched Kenny Lattimore's episode earlier today and Faith's is the icing on the cake. Getting both of their perspectives on their journeys is incredible! I admire the way Kenny and Faith carry themselves. You see why they're together. I pray they have a healthy, lifelong union and safe, smooth delivery of their baby.
Faith's book was a blessing to me. All single women need to read it.
Best book I have ever read, all the way from Nairobi, Kenya. It's such a blessing to have women like Faith write such content. Am glad that through her book I found this community.
A "words of affirmation " ceremony. I love it!
Loved this interview! I didn’t know much about Faith but so happy to see she is a woman of God! May the Most High bless her marriage abundantly ❤️
Don't settle. Those red flags become a whole mess in forever. A whole 24/7 mess. When you feel yourself settling, remember God doesn't do "good-enough." God's best for you is coming.
@DearFutureWifey thank you for all the good work you are doing well. Big Up to you. And God continue to stretch your territory.
Never seen this podcast. Glad Judge Faith was my 1st. This was absolutely beautiful! She preached! Almost had me cut a step @ work & definitely had me tear up. Congratulations on new baby Faith! May your marriage & family be blessed! 💕
I am happy for Judge Faith, read her book. She’s a gem!
