In this episode, Derek and Jordan go deep into what it means to prepare for your new marriage.
Most spouses interpret distance, silence, or delay as God being against them—but few recognize that He’s actually reordering them.
Before restoration comes reformation. Before covenant is rebuilt, the individuals within it must be remade.This conversation walks through three critical areas God refines before He restores:1️⃣ Preparing Your Emotions — Learning to discern between conviction, pain, and pressure. Training your emotions to submit to truth before the next attack ever comes.2️⃣ Preparing Your Relationships — Understanding how God reorders access and connection. Some people were for your season, but not your assignment. Learn how to discern covenant, seasonal, and prophetic relationships that align with restoration.3️⃣ Preparing Your Intercession — Moving from emotional prayer to spiritual governance. Intercession isn’t performance—it’s representation. Standing before the throne room of grace on behalf of your spouse and family, with the posture of a reconciler, not a reactor.This episode carries deep revelation for any husband or wife walking through the process of becoming.You are on assignment.You are being prepared.Don’t mistake the process for punishment—this is God’s mercy at work.Scriptures referenced: Matthew 15:1–15, Matthew 25:14–30, John 15:2–6, Luke 13:6–9, Proverbs 24:30–34, Romans 1:21–25, Ephesians 4:19, Exodus 32:32, Romans 9:1–5.
