So this was our very, veryfirst wedding and they are back
(00:21):
after having just celebrated,just a few days ago, their first
anniversary.
We're going to give you sometheir first anniversary, so
we're going to get all thenewlywed tips, tricks, hacks.
I'm going to ask some secrets,right, since we don't know,
(00:42):
because we did not rehearse anyanswers, I did not tell them
what I was going to ask right?
We've yielded the floor to, to,uh, holy spirit.
So, um, we are going to saythat this may be or may not be
one of those use your headphoneepisodes, govern yourself
accordingly.
All right, um, faith le Welcome.

Thank you for having us.
Okay, so they're answering inunison, y'all we already got the
one flesh going on, Come ony'all, I ain't mad at you.
How have you?

It's been well.
I mean, I've talked to y'alland we've kind of connected over
the year.
But how are y'all?
You have a year under your belt.
(01:26):
What was that like?
Oh man.
Wow, it's been a journey, oh yes, Deep end.
Come on now.
Yeah, yeah.
God's been really working in uson camp.
You know, just like you weresaying, we had a marriage, the
wedding last year, and God'sbeen really moving.
(01:46):
Our lives changed dramatically.
You know, as you say too, honey, right.
Yeah, absolutely, it's beenwonderful.
We've experienced a lot, eventhough it's only been a year.
We've experienced a lot like youknow, fun stuff first holidays
together.
It's a lot like you know, funstuff first holidays together.
You know we've been throughsome trials with you know, just
(02:11):
going through different thingsat our jobs and stuff like that
Of course, but overall it's beenreally wonderful.
We've been having a lot of funtogether and I'm just so
grateful to like have him to gothrough life with because
because, like he's just such ablessing to me like for real
really truly answered prayer.
But even like beyond what Iprayed for, for real wow okay
(02:36):
yeah and I'll say the same formy wife.
Faith, you know, um, you knowbefore me and her.
Obviously you know we trust thelord in many things, but I feel
like I faith was a gift to mefrom the lord.
You know a lot of things that Ithought I could do my own.
I could have done without herbeing my life, you know, and god
knew that I need her, so it'sbeen a blessing oh, that's what
(02:58):
I'm talking about.
You better work that.
Work, sir, things I could nothave done without my wife.
Yes, that's what we're talkingabout.
I am loving it right.
The Bible says that a prudentwife is from the Lord, so you're
right she is absolutely a gift,and you got a good one there,
so yes and amen yes and amen, Iremember well, you know I've
(03:24):
been there from the beginning.
I was there from before you,right?
And then I remember when youall met, and then I remember
talking to your parents, faith,and I said, okay, do we like him
?
Do we like him?
You know, I mean, he wentthrough my program but I also
knew you, you know, prior to theprogram.
So it's kind of it's kind ofinteresting, because I was your
coach but I was also your auntie, right.
(03:46):
So I'm like, okay, I'm not sureif we're keeping him.
So let me find out from theparents Is this a keeper?
Yes, I'm so blessed.
I will govern my prayersaccordingly, right.
Yeah.
Amen.
(04:08):
But in all seriousness, god bethe glory we were talking before
the interview and, and you know, family is very important to me
the women that I get to workwith are extremely important to
me.
The um and then I get to mentorextremely important and as we
bring gentlemen into their lives, we want to make sure that
they're the right kind and thatthey're the good fit, and I
always say there's a lid toevery pot.
(04:28):
You are definitely the lid toher pot.
Yes, you're equally matched,equally yoked, and that's
important.
So I know that you said thatthere were some things you
experienced this year, right.
Yes, oh yeah.
And he's like oh yeah, whatsurprised you most about being
(04:52):
married?
Just in general, what surprisedyou most about being married?
Oh, okay, that's a goodquestion.
Yeah, I know right.
You want to go or you want me to.
You can go ahead, because I feellike you already know what
you're going to say.
I would say on Kim being marriedyes, from the outside, looking
in as a single person, you see aview of married life
(05:13):
differently.
But when you're married, youget a different experience.
You know what I mean.
And I'll say when you are withyour wife or with your husband,
right?
So you have to really learn howto you know, as they say in the
Bible, it's like less of me,more of the Lord, right?
So now in that place, you haveto serve your wife or husband as
(05:34):
your servant to the Lord, right?
Every day you wake up, every dayyou live your life.
You're not living for yourself,no more.
Now you live for Christ, butyou're living for your spouse,
right?
So everything you do, justhonoring God and honoring your
spouse, even like there's thingslike oh, I would do this
differently.
I would now ask my wife say,hey, I'm thinking about doing
(05:54):
this, do you agree with me?
What do you think?
And it's always having to makea decision together.
I think that's something thatyou know, but then it's
something that you still learndaily by day.
I would say that's one thing,yeah, that is a big change.
Right when you have to makethose decisions and check in
with somebody, it's like, oh, Ican't just give you a response.
I need to kind of consider howthis is going to impact my
(06:17):
spouse, nice.
This is why we're keeping you.
Yeah, amen.
What about you?
Faith, what surprised you mostthis year?
Um, I would have to say the samething.
And also one thing that I feellike I'm still learning is like
navigating family, because nowI'm not just, you know, dealing
(06:43):
with my family, not saying thatwhen we were dating and engaged
I didn't interact with hisfamily.
I definitely did.
But now it's even moreintentional, because now we're
one flesh.
So I'm my name changed, likewe've talked.
We talked about that earlier.
I was Walton before and that'show I was growing up, but now
I'm also.
My last name is Collington now.
(07:03):
So now I have to also beintentional about embracing his
side of the family.
So I think I'm still learninghow to do that.
But his family's been wonderfulto me and I'm just so thankful
because they're they're reallygreat, like when I met them, and
he has a big family too.
Yeah, so that's another thing.
There's a lot of like familyevents that we go to often just
(07:26):
because he has, like, a lot ofpeople, a lot of birthdays, a
lot of you know stuff happening,but all good things and they've
been very welcoming to me, soI'm grateful for that.
(07:50):
But we don't always take intoaccount.
I've heard some couplesmistakenly go into into marriage
saying, well, this is about usand nobody else, and I'm like
that's why it's so fast, right,will you?
marry, really does determine howmuch time you spend with your
family.
If you spend time with yourfamily, right, it all factors in
.
There's no way that you cannottake that under advisement and
you don't take this lightly,right, because you know that you
(08:12):
might have to incorporate theminto your traditions and the way
you celebrate and when youcelebrate and if you celebrate.
So that's really, reallyimportant.
So, besides that, though, sothat's really, really important.
(08:35):
So besides that though inaddition, I should say besides-
that.
In addition, what do you wishyou had known before you got
married?
Why don't you go first?
Me.
Oh gosh, ok, give me a second.
I think about this.
Um, I should do before.
If you have an answer, youcould go ahead, because he's
quick, the way she's justthrowing him out.
She's like here, here's the bestI'm pushing.
Better than that he processeslike this me, I'm like so I'm
(08:58):
like, but you could, if you gotit, I would say I gotta think
about it, honey, yeah, yeah yeah, I would say um on kim um.
One thing I wish I knew beforegetting married is obviously I
would say it's very important tobe financially prepared, right
you can still be working, right,you can be working high money
(09:20):
job, but you know finances willchange when you're married, not
just on your taxes, but when youlive together.
You're supposed to be differentbecause you could be living
with your own, you could beliving with family and you join
together, especially like whatmy wife was saying about
changing last name, stuff likethat.
That's going to be a process,right, but not even just that,
(09:40):
just getting new bills in yourname.
So I think that is something,one thing I wish I could pay for
more going into marriage.
I would say that's so good.
That is so good.
Did you know and I've said thison my show before but did you
know more couples break up overmoney issues than infidelity.
That is scary, right.
(10:03):
So when we start talking aboutmoney, you know people get
really you know antsy when westart talking about money.
You know people get really youknow antsy when you start
talking about money.
But here's this person now thatyou're one flesh with, and it's
not just talking about money,it's talking about us, our
future, what we can and cannotdo with our money and how we,
how we move.
So even being equally yoked inthat area is really important.
That was really good, leon,don't?
(10:24):
I don't disagree with you atall about that because, again,
it is one of the biggest issuesthat we see that breaks up
couples.
When I was writing divorcesyears ago, isn't this ironic
that God would have me workingwith single ladies to get
married, get married and staymarried.
By the way, years ago I waswriting divorces.
(10:47):
Go figure him out.
Right, go figure him out.
But it gave me a lot of insightand information that I wish I
would have been able to have atthat point.
But it helps me as I'm workingwith couples.
And it also is helping me asI'm working with newlyweds now
because, guess what?
Y'all are getting married.
(11:07):
I'm like, oh my gosh.
And quiet as it's kept, it'snot, maybe not so quiet, but
recently I got a um, uh, aprophetic word that there were
going to be more weddings.
Amen and um, my husband told me,oh, there's going to be two.
And I went back to the Lord andI prayed about it and I was
like, oh my gosh, you're norespect of persons.
(11:27):
If you can do two, you can dotwo dozen, right?
He's like, of course, and Ididn't feel like it was finished
.
And I guess I'm making thisannouncement now, y'all, because
I've been holding on to thisword for a little bit, like
(11:48):
almost in my second month,holding on to this word that I
didn't release publicly.
But I was in prayer time and Ifelt like the reason I didn't
release that word was because Ididn't feel like I had a full
grip on what it meant.
So when I went back and I waslike, oh my gosh, why am I
limiting you to 24?
Two dozen is 24.
Couldn't we do 200?
Couldn't we do 2000?
He's like, yeah, Look at God Ibelieve in him, god, all things
are possible.
You know what I mean.
Amen, behold.
(12:08):
This is the word that came tome.
Behold, I am the Lord, the Godof all flesh.
There is nothing too hard forme.
Amen, how could?
something be too hard for himwhen y'all found each other on
social media.
Yes.
Go right into those.
DMs Amen, look at God, god yesamen, amen.
Look at God.
God works in you, absolutely.
That's what I'm everywhere.
(12:31):
I'm even on Facebook slidinginto those DMs with you, you
better be cute though, becauseI'm yes, oh, we did.
Oh, yeah, we definitely did, wedefinitely did.
Oh my gosh, same here it's gottabe you, lord, if it's not, I
don't want it.
Amen amen, same with me.
Yeah, yeah, same with me.
I know that's right.
You know, one of the thingsgetting to walk with the two of
(12:53):
you through this is thatsometimes it seems like it's
going to take forever before youmeet that right person.
Right, yeah, how do you?
You know?
Come on, give our singlesisters some support around here
.
How do you stay connected,encouraged, right?
What can you do to keep that,that encouragement going and
(13:16):
keep your heart clean and allthose things?
Because it's really easy to getbitter, especially as you see
your friends getting married andthings like that.
How do you stay encouraged?
Oh man, there's a lot of, Ithink, a lot of different
aspects to that question.
Definitely, one thing that Ican say has kept me so
(13:37):
encouraged was definitely WifeLife Academy.
That was huge, especiallybecause not only was I single, I
was single in the pandemic.
So people were intentionallyrunning away from you if you got
too close to them.
Six feet, six feet yeah.
So talk about like the ultimateform of being single, like
(14:00):
you're not even trying tobreathe in the same person's air
, like it was that bad at thetime and just feeling
discouraged.
But I just remember coming on tolike our Zoom meetings and just
hearing you edify us but alsoall the other sisters that were
in the group share their storyand the fact that we were able
(14:20):
to relate to each other but alsolike encourage one another.
That was what I needed, likesome days, like the body of
christ is so important, even insomething like that as a
pandemic where everybody's apart.
You know, thank God for thevirtual format, because I needed
my sisters in Christ toencourage me.
(14:42):
You know I needed your word toencourage me and there's
sometimes, yes, you canencourage yourself in the, you
know, in the quiet time with theLord, but sometimes you, just
you still need other people toedify and uplift you and that
really has helped me a lot,especially in that time in that
journey.
And then also talking about theindividual quiet time with the
(15:07):
Lord, just when I first becamesingle, when I left my previous
relationship, I was veryheartbroken, hurting.
I did not want to be single atall, I hated it.
I was like this is terrible.
I felt like a punishment that'sokay.
But I was seeking the Lord andthe Bible too, because I really
(15:28):
was like, okay, god talks aboutbeing single, god talks about
being married.
Let me look in this word andsee what it says being single,
god talks about being married.
Let me look in this word andsee what it says.
And it said that the Biblecalled singleness a gift.
And I stopped and I was like,wait a minute.
Yeah, I was like what kind?
(15:50):
Of gift, is it?
It's like that ugly sweater youget for Christmas that you don't
really want, but it's like itactually keeps you warm and it
actually makes more sense thangetting something flashy that
wouldn't really do anything Like.
That's how I was looking at it.
I was like this is a gift,really Okay.
And after reading that and justprocessing that, I was like,
okay, lord, if this is a gift,you got to show me how this is a
gift, because I don't want thisgift at all.
(16:13):
But you know, through theprocess of just relinquishing
that to the Lord and reallybeing like God, help me to see
this season the way you want meto see it, because right now I
don't see it like that.
Over time, you know, I gothealing in my heart from being
heartbroken.
I started to learn so muchabout myself that I didn't know,
(16:36):
because I was so caught up inanother person that I didn't
take the time out to know who Iwas.
And also, I was in such a goodplace with the Lord at the time
because, you know, I didn't haveanybody pulling me away from
him at that time and I was justin such a content spirit with
(16:56):
the Lord, not saying that themarried desire went away.
It didn't completely go away,it was there.
But at the same time I was nolonger in a desperate place and
I wasn't in a bitter place whereon one end I was like, oh, I
want to get married, so bad,I'll just, you know, kind of
settle for whoever.
(17:16):
Or on the other end of thespectrum, where you're just so
bitter and just hurt and you'relike I don't ever want to get
married, I don't want to eversee a man again, I don't want to
.
You know, I didn't have eitherone of those notions anymore.
But I was also content with theLord.
I was like God, thank you forthis gift.
I ended up saying thank you forthis gift and you know when it
(17:40):
was the right time to like openmyself up to possibly, you know
meeting somebody.
I told the Lord, I prayedbeforehand and I was like God,
I'm in such a great place withyou.
I don't want to risk this foranybody.
I was like God, I'm in such agreat place with you.
I don't want to risk this foranybody.
Somebody is not going to add tothis.
I don't want to.
So going into dating with thatmindset that, like God, is all I
(18:06):
need to, whether I meetsomebody on here or I don't, I'm
going to be good Having thatmindset really changed how I
dated going forward.
And then I'm like this guy.
Now right away there was, I did.
There was a journey getting tomeeting him?
Yeah, there was.
Lord have mercy, but you know,yes, though we still.
(18:28):
I was like I still kept that.
You know, in my, that convictionthat came with my, in my
singleness.
You know I was like this person.
They're like this, no that's.
You know, some people wereChristian but their core beliefs
were didn't match up with mine.
So they believed in Jesus Likeit wasn't, like I wasn't even.
(18:51):
It wasn't like I was lookingoutside of my faith.
You know, I was looking in myfaith but even within that it's
like asking those questions like, okay, what are your core
beliefs?
Do you believe in?
You know, waiting untilmarriage?
Do you believe in those things?
And you know, what is youroutlook on?
Like, family, how do you wantyour family to look?
Like?
(19:11):
Asking like all of thesequestions to just see what this
person is about?
You know, versus like, oh, thisperson is cute, you know their
fate's a little like this, butyou know they got a lot of money
or whatever you know, you'relooking at like the more
important things you know, andsometimes it was even like you
know.
Do we even get along Like if I'mtalking to you?
(19:38):
and you're getting on my nerveslike this is not going to work.
Damn Very important folks yeahyeah, that's real talk, you know
you said several and it wasfunny for me.
Funny like ironic, I'm listeningto what you're saying.
And there were some C words inthere, like community, right,
you talked about in our group,wife Life Academy is now
positioned for love.
And you talked about thecommunity being so important,
(19:59):
right, having a community oflike-minded sisters where it was
safe to say, yeah, I want to bemarried, because sometimes we
say that in the body and it'staken as lust.
It's not lust, it's a God givendesire.
Right, and then how we pursuethat or how we act and govern
ourselves, then, you know, makesa big difference.
Right, but you had a communityof like-minded sisters, a real
(20:19):
sister, and we were tight.
Right, you talked about keepingyour convictions and not
compromising, right.
So some more C words and, and Ithink, also the place that you
had gotten to with, if this isnot God, I don't want it, right.
Yeah, um, marriage is beautiful, it is wonderful.
Like I say, believe the hype.
Right, because marriage isgreat and there is nothing wrong
(20:43):
with being single.
I was single for a long oh mygod, a long time my husband even
longer.
He was single double the time.
I was right.
But yeah, oh boy, oh boy, oneday Cause, oh, lord Jesus,
anyway, I listened to that and Isay, without the community,
(21:07):
without the conviction, withoutthe willingness to wait on God,
where would you have been?
Here's the other thing that'sreally really interesting, cause
and I say this all the timeit's not that y'all can't get
married, Single sisters, it'snot that y'all can't get married
, you can get married.
Right, that's not the point.
The point is, who are youmarrying?
Right, because you could,honestly, a lot of y'all could
get married in the next two orthree months, but that would be
(21:29):
anybody right.
But when you want to getmarried in a way that we can
pray for you and not about you,to rewind this and listen to
that again and ask holy ghostfor interpretation, but where we
can play pray for you, like Ican pray for y'all, right, I
don't have to pray about you.
I know he's not going to comein and try to lead you into some
(21:51):
cult or or what have you right?
Um, the other thing that youdid really well is let me, let
me check you out in a natural,because sometimes we are so
spiritually minded, we're noearthly good.
So do you get my nerves likethat's really big?
Because, yes, with some coupleswhere I'm like well, he was
getting on your nerves beforeyou got mad.
(22:13):
Yes, can I give it.
Can I give a specific example?
that is quite funny now so I wastalking to this person and, um,
this person looked like notlike my type at all, but I was
like you know what?
I'm gonna be open because theysay they're christian.
Let me just see what they'reabout, right.
And so we're talking on thephone and almost everything I'm
(22:37):
saying this person isdisagreeing with.
But here's the funniest part Itry to change the subject
because he's starting to get onmy nerves.
So I was like let me talk aboutsomething more neutral.
So I was like what's yourfavorite animal?
Damn.
And I was like you know, whatkind of animals do you like?
He's like, oh, I like allcreatures.
(22:58):
I was like, oh, yeah, you know.
I was just like rambling.
And I was like you know, I hatebugs, though I can't do bugs.
He was like no, you can't killbugs, they're god's creatures.
I was like no, no and if I see abug, I'm killing it.
I'm letting y'all know rightnow, don't write me, don't write
me and I'm afraid of bugs.
So I was like, no, I, that wassomething I prayed about.
(23:19):
I was like god because I'm notgood to it, but again, right, it
seems like a small thing untilyou have a spider right, and
then you kill the second spiderand now it's an issue, right,
yeah, and, and, and, and.
It's a.
This is a little example, andthat was funny because something
wrong with you.
(23:42):
Yes, yes.
Thank you for showing me who youare so I can yeah that stuff
out.
And being unequally yoked isnot just about your faith.
You talk about another C word.
Right, core beliefs Are allcore beliefs the same.
I during my dating season and Iwish I had kept a better
(24:05):
journal because I had no ideaI'd be doing this work.
Right, but there was this thishappened to me more than once
where a man would find out thatI was a minister and had a
problem with female ministers.
Well, that's a problem for you,because I'm just doing what he
called me to do.
Y'all have to work that outwith Jesus on your own.
Take that to him.
Tell me to do.
(24:25):
But if that's going to be anissue, then you're disqualified,
right.
And the first thing that myhusband told me, the very first
conversation we had within thefirst like 10 minutes, he said
I'm called a ministry, are youOK with that?
Well, I'm a female minister,are you OK with that?
And his pastor was a woman.
So he was good.
Right, we don't check thosethings out or we say later oh,
(24:49):
they'll work, we'll work aroundthat.
The first time somebody callsyou at 10 o'clock with prayer
emergency, now it's a problem,he'll roll over, he might not
even hear the phone.
I don't think so.
He'll be like good night.
When I was mentoring I hadseveral mentoring groups and
(25:12):
these girls I was single at thetime, so I would get the 10
o'clock, 11 o'clock, midnightcalls.
I'm like, listen, go find yourmamas.
But at the time I was single,so it was okay.
Now, I get those calls as much.
I know how to work around it.
But if somebody called me andsometimes they do they have an
emergency.
I know that if that phone isringing, this is important.
(25:34):
Let me pick it up, let me seewhat's going on and, yep, I
might have to get out of the bedand start interceding.
He doesn't complain about that,and when he gets up in the
morning he might say what'sgoing on?
Everything good.
Or if it's something really big, and I come back and I'm like,
can you get up and come intoagreement?
He doesn't complain.
Now has he lost sleep?
Yes, is it inconvenient?
Yes, but these are agreementsthat we had before we got
(25:56):
married.
He knew who I was and what Iwas called to do, and I will
never ask you to step aside fromwhat God?
has called you to do.
If you say it's God, that'swhat it's going to be, and I
think to your credit, you haveto work all that out.
Can't be so enamored withhaving someone in your life that
they don't fit with the otherpieces Right, so that's great.
(26:23):
So we get along, have a goodtime, and we will go see a show
and he goes to church.
But what I'm?
called to do and who I'm calledto be, he doesn't like.
Or you end up with a wife whocan't support you know what did
you, what you do or how you lookat life, or all those things,
or she may not want to followyou to East Timbuktu.
You're called to be amissionary and she wants to be a
(26:45):
doctor's wife.
Not so well so we have to lookat all those things.
I'm so glad you brought thatinto the space, because those
are some of the practicalitiesthat sometimes in the body of
Christ we ignore.
And then it kicks our buttslater, right, so then I have
people back in the office sixmonths later going.
(27:05):
I don't know why.
I'm married.
I don't even know.
So the importance of communityright is also when you're in the
dating season.
I call it waiting, dating andmating right.
So when you're in waitingseason, you're single, when
you're dating, trying to figureout who you are and this, who
this person is, and then matingwhen you're getting married, you
(27:27):
need to have that community,you need to be accountable to
somebody who can say I think weneed to ask a few more questions
around this.
I think you need to payattention to some of the answers
you're getting and that kind ofthing.
So I don't disagree with you.
I think that having thatcommunity, it's very unique
right Because everyone there.
(27:48):
it's okay to say I want to bemarried.
It's okay to say, hey, is thisa red flag?
And you know we would havethose.
I have my red flag, sheliterally had a flag.
I'm like get that full sentenceout and we have a few black
flags too.
I want to talk to you after themeeting, because this is
(28:16):
sweetie, is a this?
Is starting to sound like aLifetime movie of the week.
We're not doing this.
Yes, amen, and I was going tosay also too like you know.
Pray for the Lord too, becausethat's something I did before
any phone call with anybody.
I always pray.
I say Lord, give me the ears tohear anything that doesn't
sound right.
(28:37):
Let them say it, you know.
Amen amen.
Like you know, I'm trying tohonor you and glorify you.
Give me the ears, you know, andlet me not ignore or overlook
or brush over anything that doesnot sound right.
And literally every phoneconversation I heard someone was
like Nope.
(28:57):
Okay, you know.
And then this guy, I waslistening and I was like okay.
I remember you calling me aboutthat.
Like I don't know because Idon't have any red flags.
Is this okay?
I'm like baby, stop looking fora problem.
Do you remember thisconversation?
I'm like baby, stop looking fora problem, do you remember?
(29:19):
This conversation.
I remember this conversation.
I was like there's no red flags.
I'm like, are you all right?
But here's the thing and wetalked about this in the group
that when we allow men to justbe themselves, they will reveal
who they are.
(29:39):
Yes.
Right, and if we're listeningattentively and we let God help
us to make our decisions, we'llhear, and then it's up to us not
to ignore what we hear.
If you talk to some of yourfriends who are not together now
with their, with their mate,they will tell you a lot of
times, more times than not, theyheard these things prior but
(30:03):
they let it go.
So there, yeah, there's somewisdom in that, in in just
making sure that you're reallylistening to understand yes,
absolutely.
And that you also give yourselfenough time and space to
process, and that I will alwayssay we never date in a vacuum,
(30:24):
right?
Yes, absolutely Never date in avacuum and there's a difference
between privacy and isolation.
Now I always say you do not putyour relationship on Facebook
and on social media until youare sure you're keeping them and
until you have made up in yourmind that this is the person for
(30:47):
you.
Because trust, nothing revealsa hidden hater quicker than an
open blessing.
And Okay, yeah, so until you'reready to to respond in the
comments and like kind, then Isay you don't post, everybody
doesn't need to know.
You make sure that there'ssomeone who has authority over
(31:07):
you, knows and it's trackingwith you.
Make sure that you have peersthat know, know and that are
tracking with you.
You know and can tell you likeyou are right, cause your
personality has not changed forthe better since you've been
with this person, right.
They're going to check in withyou, or girl, stop tripping.
That man doesn't have any redflags.
Go on and enjoy yourself.
(31:27):
Oh my gosh.
So we need that in our livesand I think that's one of the
things that the group reallyprovided.
And you know, I mean we'retalking a lot about the group
and a lot about Faith's timewith her sisters, but what did
you think when you heard thatshe had been in this coaching
program?
(31:48):
I was happy that she had, likeyou know, a community that
helped her, you know, along, youknow you and Kim, you're one of
the many great mentors in herlife, you know, um, she had Aunt
Adele, her mom, like even herdad, like a lot of people that
was around her.
Even her friends are reallylike good influences in her and
I'm just so thankful that, youknow, my wife had the influences
(32:11):
in around her before meeting me, because now I know that now
she was a woman that trusted theLord because of faith, but
she's a woman of characterbecause of the people she
surrounded herself with, youknow.
So I think it was a good thingthat you had this like community
, because not only you held eachother accountable but you
helped build each other up tofind, you know, to help everyone
(32:32):
to find the right person.
Yeah, oh, look at her.
Help everyone to find the rightperson.
Yeah, oh, look at her.
She's all googly-eyed.
Oh, that's my baby.
You know I'm thankful for that,because I think sometimes we get
a little anxious about askingfor this kind of help because it
(32:58):
is unique, right, and sometimesthe ladies don't feel
comfortable with a gentlemanknowing that they have been
through the coaching program.
But I'll tell you myself I wentthrough a coaching program.
I would not have been married.
I didn't know what to do, Ididn't know how to handle myself
or what to ask, what to lookfor, and my husband and I talk
(33:18):
about that all the time.
And also I think that again,that community, like you said,
leon, is so important, who yousurround yourself with, because
you can tell a lot by people'sfriends.
Amen yeah, you can tell a lot bychecking out their friends.
Oh my gosh, All right, so I gotthis newlywed.
I'm so.
(33:38):
I'm loving this.
Y'all had a whole entire year ofmarriage that went so
incredibly like yeah, I blinked,I was like whoa, yeah, you know
what's funny it?
was.
It was very weird because to meit felt fast but slow at the
(33:59):
same time, because each monthwas like a learning experience
of like whatever navigating likewe were talking about
navigating in-laws whose housewe're going to for which holiday
, and you know finances and youknow moving.
And even like little things,like you know where are we gonna
, how are we gonna organize thekitchen or the bathroom or
(34:21):
whatever?
that, too, is another yeah, whatfood we're gonna eat like all
these things like we were likelearning along the way, but it
did kind of sneak up on us atthe same time.
It's kind of weird to describe,because it it was like this,
but then at the same time, itwas like a gradual process too
(34:43):
for me.
What about you?
it was kind of similar for me.
Um, it was like uh, for me itfelt like fast, like oh, I just
blinked, it's 2024, now, summer,spring, but kind of like you
know what my wife was saying.
Like every month it was, I feel, like every day I learned
something new, like weexperienced something different
and it helped us to grow aspeople and helped us to not only
love each other more but tolove the lord more too yeah, so
(35:06):
I love that.
And you know what I'm going todo when this interview is
finished I'm going to go backand play it back, because I want
to see how many times he saidmy wife I was.
I am loving it.
I am loving it.
One of the things we talk aboutin group is, you know, never
(35:29):
let a man hide you, right?
If he's hiding you, something'sgoing on.
Either he's married, either hedoesn't plan to stay, or he's
embarrassed by you.
So this, I'm loving this.
My wife, I am absolutely lovingthat.
I'm eating that up like gravyon a stick.
Yes, my wife.
(35:52):
I have branded her MrsCollington.
Never the twain shall part, andyou say amen to that?
Yes, loving that I amabsolutely loving it, but you
know, um, we we've talked abouta lot of things.
I want to know a lot of thethings that you've experienced,
right, what about what's next?
(36:14):
So what's next for faith and leoh, man, oh man.
Ooh, we're nosy, yeah, we'renosy.
You want to go first, honey, oryou want us to go, I guess.
Well, yeah, we're going to berelocating to another place, so
we're in the process of moving.
(36:35):
So this is our first, I guess,move together, because when we
were engaged he moved into wherewe live first and then after we
got married, that's when Imoved in.
So this is our first movetogether, so it's kind of fun
seeing him pack up.
He's more organized than I am.
(36:55):
I'll admit that.
So he's very he's veryorganized and into packing, and
so seeing that dynamic is fun,yeah, and right now we're
enjoying the summer and we'reboth teachers.
Yeah, we're both teachers.
So we're going to startpreparing for next year coming
up in September.
(37:15):
And to add to what my wife issaying, like, yes, we're moving,
but also both being educated.
So I'm transitioning to a newum job now I'm living in style,
so I'm gonna be working stylingum within the next month or so
so, and my wife, she, also hasanother job opportunity in as a
teacher in another school aswell.
(37:36):
So we're just um, you know,last year to this year.
I can never imagine how theLord, like you know, would move
us.
You know what I mean, like howthe Lord is going to work in our
lives, but both being ineducation, both like living in
St Island together and justseeing how the Lord provides
each and every day, you know,it's just been amazing, you know
.
So I'm just very fortunate andI'm very definitely looking
(37:59):
forward to many more years, manymore anniversaries with my wife
, with your wife With your wife.
With your wife I love it.
So new digs, new jobs, newopportunities, right, it's just.
It seems like when you marrythe right person and you really
(38:20):
give it to God, there's ablossoming, there's a growing,
there's a blooming and you canexpect, you can ask for and
expect the blessing of the Lordon it.
Amen yes.
And, if it's okay, on Kim, Iwant to add to that too, like,
really, um, if you, when youlike, he finds why it finds a
(38:41):
good thing, right?
So before meeting, you know, mywife, faith, you know I was
working in a different um,what's it called?
What's the one with the fourdifferent job, different type of
job, right?
So my first year me and my wifewere dating, you know, in a
relationship.
I was looking different, youknow, job field, and then
(39:07):
somehow the lord just had anopportunity, education open and
then the like, that opportunitylet's not opportunity and let's
not opportunity.
So, and also, I can, I wasnever was without, and neither
was my wife, because as soon aswe commit to each other and
commit to what the lord wantsyou to do, he always is going to
provide.
But you're single when you'remarried, as long as we commit to
each other and commit to whatthe Lord wants you to do, he
always is going to provide,Whether you're single, whether
you're married, as long as youtrust him, you're good, you know
.
Amen to that.
Amen to that.
So I was getting ready to wrapup.
(39:28):
However, I think Proverbs 18,22, he that finds a wife finds a
good thing and obtains favorfrom the Lord.
So I think a lot of timespeople have misinterpreted this
scripture.
It's one of my pet peeves,right, because they take it for
women should be passive and justsit around on the couch and I
(39:50):
say this all the time waitingfor the husband's stork to drop
a man through the ceiling Right,and that is not what that
scripture means.
Going back to your point, one ofthe things that we look for and
I say this to women all thetime you're walking favor for
this man.
If he is really, if he, whenyou get married, you can tap
into that favor.
(40:11):
Say, father, I want to takecare of this woman.
You have given me this wife.
I need to be able to bringfinances into the household.
Give me a better job to be ableto bring finances into the
household.
Give me a better job.
Father's going to honor thatright.
This is her father.
It's your father too, but thisis her dad.
You're literally going to herdad and asking her dad to help
(40:32):
you take care of her.
He's really going to turn youdown?
Does that even make sense,knowing what we know about a
loving God?
So, looking at that, there's somuch wisdom in that there is so
much wisdom.
I really do believe, I amconvinced, and I don't think
anyone can convince me otherwise, so don't email me.
There are things that willhappen for you as a couple that
(40:57):
won't happen as a single.
And it's not to say that yoursingle years are not blessed and
if you never get married, thatyou're not going to accomplish
great things.
That's a lie from the pit tohell.
I did a lot when I was single,and the things that I do now
with my husband.
The word says that two have abetter return for their work.
So it sounds like you're gettinga different return for your
(41:19):
work now and he hasprogressively moved you forward
because you're taking good careof his daughter, so he says
let's entrust him with even more.
Let me give him a better job.
Let me put it closer to theirhome.
Right, let's move them to abetter apartment.
So it sounds like I'm hearingthat you have found this good
(41:41):
thing and the favor of the Lordis on it and we love that.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, I'm all in my feels.
I'm in my feels.
I'm in my feels we've had agreeting card moment.
We done, got all saw if you sayyour wife one more again, okay.
(42:02):
My wife babe my, wife babe mywife, my wife babe.
Everybody should have my wife,right?
Yes, I love that Listen that'swhat that man's supposed to do,
right.
Amen, yes.
Absolutely Not a question thatright yeah, but we love it.
(42:23):
We love it.
Leon, I'm teasing you, but I Iabsolutely love it.
I'm glad you're taking care ofour girl.
She is incredibly happy.
Every time I hear from hershe's like I'm so happy that
program.
Oh my gosh.
It's so beautiful being marriedRight and.
I love hearing that.
We absolutely love hearing that, and it has been a blessing to

Now, love Labs are brandspanking new.
They just came out this summerand those Love Labs are going to
be ongoing support for womenwho want to be married.
They're dating, mating, waitingright.
They want to be positioned forlove that position for love that
you went through, which wasWife Life Academy at the time.
It is now an intensive 12-weekprogram and then this is
(44:19):
maintenance dose, so you cancome into Love Labs at any time,
whether you've been in positionfor love or not, and every
month we have a different topic.
Awesome, oh, that's great.
A different topic every monthLike how do you date online?
How do you know if he's the one?
(44:41):
That's a biggie, right, becauseI remember having that
conversation with you.
Oh my gosh.
Like.
I don't know.
Is he the one?
Like there's no red flags and Idon't know what to do?
Say yes when he asks.
That's what we're going to do.
I say yes when he asks that'swhat we're going to do.
Here's the thing If we're notbeing intentional about that, we
(45:09):
can miss, because sometimesthings are so good that this
can't possibly be.
I've prayed.
We had times of fasting, we hadprayer.
That was fire.
We had corporate prayer by theway, we had reinstated corporate
prayer Awesome.
Amen.
We had corporate prayer that wasjust fire, pro words and yes
and all that kind of stuff.
And then when we do all thiswork and then you get this guy
who says my wife, I'm going back.
(45:31):
Who says my wife?
And loves you and your familiesget along and it's just a
blessing to everyone who knowsyou.
If we're not mindful, we can,so self-sabotage yeah absolutely
Right.
So, being in that community, Iwant to create that for your
(45:52):
sisters who are single and readyto stop embracing that
singleness and positioningthemselves for love.
So I will be doing that everysingle month.

one flesh going on, Come ony'all, I ain't mad at you.
How have you?

It's been well.
I mean, I've talked to y'alland we've kind of connected over
the year.
But how are y'all?
You have a year under your belt.
(01:26):
What was that like?
Oh man.
Wow, it's been a journey, oh yes, Deep end.
Come on now.
Yeah, yeah.
God's been really working in uson camp.
You know, just like you weresaying, we had a marriage, the
wedding last year, and God'sbeen really moving.
(01:46):
Our lives changed dramatically.
You know, as you say too, honey, right.
Yeah, absolutely, it's beenwonderful.
We've experienced a lot, eventhough it's only been a year.
We've experienced a lot like youknow, fun stuff first holidays
together.
It's a lot like you know, funstuff first holidays together.
You know we've been throughsome trials with you know, just
(02:11):
going through different thingsat our jobs and stuff like that
Of course, but overall it's beenreally wonderful.
We've been having a lot of funtogether and I'm just so
grateful to like have him to gothrough life with because
because, like he's just such ablessing to me like for real
really truly answered prayer.
But even like beyond what Iprayed for, for real wow okay
(02:36):
yeah and I'll say the same formy wife.
Faith, you know, um, you knowbefore me and her.
Obviously you know we trust thelord in many things, but I feel
like I faith was a gift to mefrom the lord.
You know a lot of things that Ithought I could do my own.
I could have done without herbeing my life, you know, and god
knew that I need her, so it'sbeen a blessing oh, that's what
(02:58):
I'm talking about.
You better work that.
Work, sir, things I could nothave done without my wife.
Yes, that's what we're talkingabout.
I am loving it right.
The Bible says that a prudentwife is from the Lord, so you're
right she is absolutely a gift,and you got a good one there,
so yes and amen yes and amen, Iremember well, you know I've
(03:24):
been there from the beginning.
I was there from before you,right?
And then I remember when youall met, and then I remember
talking to your parents, faith,and I said, okay, do we like him
?
Do we like him?
You know, I mean, he wentthrough my program but I also
knew you, you know, prior to theprogram.
So it's kind of it's kind ofinteresting, because I was your
coach but I was also your auntie, right.
(03:46):
So I'm like, okay, I'm not sureif we're keeping him.
So let me find out from theparents Is this a keeper?
Yes, I'm so blessed.
I will govern my prayersaccordingly, right.
Yeah.
Amen.
(04:08):
But in all seriousness, god bethe glory we were talking before
the interview and, and you know, family is very important to me
the women that I get to workwith are extremely important to
me.
The um and then I get to mentorextremely important and as we
bring gentlemen into their lives, we want to make sure that
they're the right kind and thatthey're the good fit, and I
always say there's a lid toevery pot.
(04:28):
You are definitely the lid toher pot.
Yes, you're equally matched,equally yoked, and that's
important.
So I know that you said thatthere were some things you
experienced this year, right.
Yes, oh yeah.
And he's like oh yeah, whatsurprised you most about being
(04:52):
married?
Just in general, what surprisedyou most about being married?
Oh, okay, that's a goodquestion.
Yeah, I know right.
You want to go or you want me to.
You can go ahead, because I feellike you already know what
you're going to say.
I would say on Kim being marriedyes, from the outside, looking
in as a single person, you see aview of married life
(05:13):
differently.
But when you're married, youget a different experience.
You know what I mean.
And I'll say when you are withyour wife or with your husband,
right?
So you have to really learn howto you know, as they say in the
Bible, it's like less of me,more of the Lord, right?
So now in that place, you haveto serve your wife or husband as
(05:34):
your servant to the Lord, right?
Every day you wake up, every dayyou live your life.
You're not living for yourself,no more.
Now you live for Christ, butyou're living for your spouse,
right?
So everything you do, justhonoring God and honoring your
spouse, even like there's thingslike oh, I would do this
differently.
I would now ask my wife say,hey, I'm thinking about doing
(05:54):
this, do you agree with me?
What do you think?
And it's always having to makea decision together.
I think that's something thatyou know, but then it's
something that you still learndaily by day.
I would say that's one thing,yeah, that is a big change.
Right when you have to makethose decisions and check in
with somebody, it's like, oh, Ican't just give you a response.
I need to kind of consider howthis is going to impact my
(06:17):
spouse, nice.
This is why we're keeping you.
Yeah, amen.
What about you?
Faith, what surprised you mostthis year?
Um, I would have to say the samething.
And also one thing that I feellike I'm still learning is like
navigating family, because nowI'm not just, you know, dealing
(06:43):
with my family, not saying thatwhen we were dating and engaged
I didn't interact with hisfamily.
I definitely did.
But now it's even moreintentional, because now we're
one flesh.
So I'm my name changed, likewe've talked.
We talked about that earlier.
I was Walton before and that'show I was growing up, but now
I'm also.
My last name is Collington now.
(07:03):
So now I have to also beintentional about embracing his
side of the family.
So I think I'm still learninghow to do that.
But his family's been wonderfulto me and I'm just so thankful
because they're they're reallygreat, like when I met them, and
he has a big family too.
Yeah, so that's another thing.
There's a lot of like familyevents that we go to often just
(07:26):
because he has, like, a lot ofpeople, a lot of birthdays, a
lot of you know stuff happening,but all good things and they've
been very welcoming to me, soI'm grateful for that.
(07:50):
But we don't always take intoaccount.
I've heard some couplesmistakenly go into into marriage
saying, well, this is about usand nobody else, and I'm like
that's why it's so fast, right,will you?
marry, really does determine howmuch time you spend with your
family.
If you spend time with yourfamily, right, it all factors in
.
There's no way that you cannottake that under advisement and
you don't take this lightly,right, because you know that you
(08:12):
might have to incorporate theminto your traditions and the way
you celebrate and when youcelebrate and if you celebrate.
So that's really, reallyimportant.
So, besides that, though, sothat's really, really important.
(08:35):
So besides that though inaddition, I should say besides-
that.
In addition, what do you wishyou had known before you got
married?
Why don't you go first?
Me.
Oh gosh, ok, give me a second.
I think about this.
Um, I should do before.
If you have an answer, youcould go ahead, because he's
quick, the way she's justthrowing him out.
She's like here, here's the bestI'm pushing.
Better than that he processeslike this me, I'm like so I'm
(08:58):
like, but you could, if you gotit, I would say I gotta think
about it, honey, yeah, yeah yeah, I would say um on kim um.
One thing I wish I knew beforegetting married is obviously I
would say it's very important tobe financially prepared, right
you can still be working, right,you can be working high money
(09:20):
job, but you know finances willchange when you're married, not
just on your taxes, but when youlive together.
You're supposed to be differentbecause you could be living
with your own, you could beliving with family and you join
together, especially like whatmy wife was saying about
changing last name, stuff likethat.
That's going to be a process,right, but not even just that,
(09:40):
just getting new bills in yourname.
So I think that is something,one thing I wish I could pay for
more going into marriage.
I would say that's so good.
That is so good.
Did you know and I've said thison my show before but did you
know more couples break up overmoney issues than infidelity.
That is scary, right.
(10:03):
So when we start talking aboutmoney, you know people get
really you know antsy when westart talking about money.
You know people get really youknow antsy when you start
talking about money.
But here's this person now thatyou're one flesh with, and it's
not just talking about money,it's talking about us, our
future, what we can and cannotdo with our money and how we,
how we move.
So even being equally yoked inthat area is really important.
That was really good, leon,don't?
(10:24):
I don't disagree with you atall about that because, again,
it is one of the biggest issuesthat we see that breaks up
couples.
When I was writing divorcesyears ago, isn't this ironic
that God would have me workingwith single ladies to get
married, get married and staymarried.
By the way, years ago I waswriting divorces.
(10:47):
Go figure him out.
Right, go figure him out.
But it gave me a lot of insightand information that I wish I
would have been able to have atthat point.
But it helps me as I'm workingwith couples.
And it also is helping me asI'm working with newlyweds now
because, guess what?
Y'all are getting married.
(11:07):
I'm like, oh my gosh.
And quiet as it's kept, it'snot, maybe not so quiet, but
recently I got a um, uh, aprophetic word that there were
going to be more weddings.
Amen and um, my husband told me,oh, there's going to be two.
And I went back to the Lord andI prayed about it and I was
like, oh my gosh, you're norespect of persons.
(11:27):
If you can do two, you can dotwo dozen, right?
He's like, of course, and Ididn't feel like it was finished
.
And I guess I'm making thisannouncement now, y'all, because
I've been holding on to thisword for a little bit, like
(11:48):
almost in my second month,holding on to this word that I
didn't release publicly.
But I was in prayer time and Ifelt like the reason I didn't
release that word was because Ididn't feel like I had a full
grip on what it meant.
So when I went back and I waslike, oh my gosh, why am I
limiting you to 24?
Two dozen is 24.
Couldn't we do 200?
Couldn't we do 2000?
He's like, yeah, Look at God Ibelieve in him, god, all things
are possible.
You know what I mean.
Amen, behold.
(12:08):
This is the word that came tome.
Behold, I am the Lord, the Godof all flesh.
There is nothing too hard forme.
Amen, how could?
something be too hard for himwhen y'all found each other on
social media.
Yes.
Go right into those.
DMs Amen, look at God, god yesamen, amen.
Look at God.
God works in you, absolutely.
That's what I'm everywhere.
(12:31):
I'm even on Facebook slidinginto those DMs with you, you
better be cute though, becauseI'm yes, oh, we did.
Oh, yeah, we definitely did, wedefinitely did.
Oh my gosh, same here it's gottabe you, lord, if it's not, I
don't want it.
Amen amen, same with me.
Yeah, yeah, same with me.
I know that's right.
You know, one of the thingsgetting to walk with the two of
(12:53):
you through this is thatsometimes it seems like it's
going to take forever before youmeet that right person.
Right, yeah, how do you?
You know?
Come on, give our singlesisters some support around here
.
How do you stay connected,encouraged, right?
What can you do to keep that,that encouragement going and
(13:16):
keep your heart clean and allthose things?
Because it's really easy to getbitter, especially as you see
your friends getting married andthings like that.
How do you stay encouraged?
Oh man, there's a lot of, Ithink, a lot of different
aspects to that question.
Definitely, one thing that Ican say has kept me so
(13:37):
encouraged was definitely WifeLife Academy.
That was huge, especiallybecause not only was I single, I
was single in the pandemic.
So people were intentionallyrunning away from you if you got
too close to them.
Six feet, six feet yeah.
So talk about like the ultimateform of being single, like
(14:00):
you're not even trying tobreathe in the same person's air
, like it was that bad at thetime and just feeling
discouraged.
But I just remember coming on tolike our Zoom meetings and just
hearing you edify us but alsoall the other sisters that were
in the group share their storyand the fact that we were able
(14:20):
to relate to each other but alsolike encourage one another.
That was what I needed, likesome days, like the body of
christ is so important, even insomething like that as a
pandemic where everybody's apart.
You know, thank God for thevirtual format, because I needed
my sisters in Christ toencourage me.
(14:42):
You know I needed your word toencourage me and there's
sometimes, yes, you canencourage yourself in the, you
know, in the quiet time with theLord, but sometimes you, just
you still need other people toedify and uplift you and that
really has helped me a lot,especially in that time in that
journey.
And then also talking about theindividual quiet time with the
(15:07):
Lord, just when I first becamesingle, when I left my previous
relationship, I was veryheartbroken, hurting.
I did not want to be single atall, I hated it.
I was like this is terrible.
I felt like a punishment that'sokay.
But I was seeking the Lord andthe Bible too, because I really
(15:28):
was like, okay, god talks aboutbeing single, god talks about
being married.
Let me look in this word andsee what it says being single,
god talks about being married.
Let me look in this word andsee what it says.
And it said that the Biblecalled singleness a gift.
And I stopped and I was like,wait a minute.
Yeah, I was like what kind?
(15:50):
Of gift, is it?
It's like that ugly sweater youget for Christmas that you don't
really want, but it's like itactually keeps you warm and it
actually makes more sense thangetting something flashy that
wouldn't really do anything Like.
That's how I was looking at it.
I was like this is a gift,really Okay.
And after reading that and justprocessing that, I was like,
okay, lord, if this is a gift,you got to show me how this is a
gift, because I don't want thisgift at all.
(16:13):
But you know, through theprocess of just relinquishing
that to the Lord and reallybeing like God, help me to see
this season the way you want meto see it, because right now I
don't see it like that.
Over time, you know, I gothealing in my heart from being
heartbroken.
I started to learn so muchabout myself that I didn't know,
(16:36):
because I was so caught up inanother person that I didn't
take the time out to know who Iwas.
And also, I was in such a goodplace with the Lord at the time
because, you know, I didn't haveanybody pulling me away from
him at that time and I was justin such a content spirit with
(16:56):
the Lord, not saying that themarried desire went away.
It didn't completely go away,it was there.
But at the same time I was nolonger in a desperate place and
I wasn't in a bitter place whereon one end I was like, oh, I
want to get married, so bad,I'll just, you know, kind of
settle for whoever.
(17:16):
Or on the other end of thespectrum, where you're just so
bitter and just hurt and you'relike I don't ever want to get
married, I don't want to eversee a man again, I don't want to
.
You know, I didn't have eitherone of those notions anymore.
But I was also content with theLord.
I was like God, thank you forthis gift.
I ended up saying thank you forthis gift and you know when it
(17:40):
was the right time to like openmyself up to possibly, you know
meeting somebody.
I told the Lord, I prayedbeforehand and I was like God,
I'm in such a great place withyou.
I don't want to risk this foranybody.
I was like God, I'm in such agreat place with you.
I don't want to risk this foranybody.
Somebody is not going to add tothis.
I don't want to.
So going into dating with thatmindset that, like God, is all I
(18:06):
need to, whether I meetsomebody on here or I don't, I'm
going to be good Having thatmindset really changed how I
dated going forward.
And then I'm like this guy.
Now right away there was, I did.
There was a journey getting tomeeting him?
Yeah, there was.
Lord have mercy, but you know,yes, though we still.
(18:28):
I was like I still kept that.
You know, in my, that convictionthat came with my, in my
singleness.
You know I was like this person.
They're like this, no that's.
You know, some people wereChristian but their core beliefs
were didn't match up with mine.
So they believed in Jesus Likeit wasn't, like I wasn't even.
(18:51):
It wasn't like I was lookingoutside of my faith.
You know, I was looking in myfaith but even within that it's
like asking those questions like, okay, what are your core
beliefs?
Do you believe in?
You know, waiting untilmarriage?
Do you believe in those things?
And you know, what is youroutlook on?
Like, family, how do you wantyour family to look?
Like?
(19:11):
Asking like all of thesequestions to just see what this
person is about?
You know, versus like, oh, thisperson is cute, you know their
fate's a little like this, butyou know they got a lot of money
or whatever you know, you'relooking at like the more
important things you know, andsometimes it was even like you
know.
Do we even get along Like if I'mtalking to you?
(19:38):
and you're getting on my nerveslike this is not going to work.
Damn Very important folks yeahyeah, that's real talk, you know
you said several and it wasfunny for me.
Funny like ironic, I'm listeningto what you're saying.
And there were some C words inthere, like community, right,
you talked about in our group,wife Life Academy is now
positioned for love.
And you talked about thecommunity being so important,
(19:59):
right, having a community oflike-minded sisters where it was
safe to say, yeah, I want to bemarried, because sometimes we
say that in the body and it'staken as lust.
It's not lust, it's a God givendesire.
Right, and then how we pursuethat or how we act and govern
ourselves, then, you know, makesa big difference.
Right, but you had a communityof like-minded sisters, a real
(20:19):
sister, and we were tight.
Right, you talked about keepingyour convictions and not
compromising, right.
So some more C words and, and Ithink, also the place that you
had gotten to with, if this isnot God, I don't want it, right.
Yeah, um, marriage is beautiful, it is wonderful.
Like I say, believe the hype.
Right, because marriage isgreat and there is nothing wrong
(20:43):
with being single.
I was single for a long oh mygod, a long time my husband even
longer.
He was single double the time.
I was right.
But yeah, oh boy, oh boy, oneday Cause, oh, lord Jesus,
anyway, I listened to that and Isay, without the community,
(21:07):
without the conviction, withoutthe willingness to wait on God,
where would you have been?
Here's the other thing that'sreally really interesting, cause
and I say this all the timeit's not that y'all can't get
married, Single sisters, it'snot that y'all can't get married
, you can get married.
Right, that's not the point.
The point is, who are youmarrying?
Right, because you could,honestly, a lot of y'all could
get married in the next two orthree months, but that would be
(21:29):
anybody right.
But when you want to getmarried in a way that we can
pray for you and not about you,to rewind this and listen to
that again and ask holy ghostfor interpretation, but where we
can play pray for you, like Ican pray for y'all, right, I
don't have to pray about you.
I know he's not going to comein and try to lead you into some
(21:51):
cult or or what have you right?
Um, the other thing that youdid really well is let me, let
me check you out in a natural,because sometimes we are so
spiritually minded, we're noearthly good.
So do you get my nerves likethat's really big?
Because, yes, with some coupleswhere I'm like well, he was
getting on your nerves beforeyou got mad.
(22:13):
Yes, can I give it.
Can I give a specific example?
that is quite funny now so I wastalking to this person and, um,
this person looked like notlike my type at all, but I was
like you know what?
I'm gonna be open because theysay they're christian.
Let me just see what they'reabout, right.
And so we're talking on thephone and almost everything I'm
(22:37):
saying this person isdisagreeing with.
But here's the funniest part Itry to change the subject
because he's starting to get onmy nerves.
So I was like let me talk aboutsomething more neutral.
So I was like what's yourfavorite animal?
Damn.
And I was like you know, whatkind of animals do you like?
He's like, oh, I like allcreatures.
(22:58):
I was like, oh, yeah, you know.
I was just like rambling.
And I was like you know, I hatebugs, though I can't do bugs.
He was like no, you can't killbugs, they're god's creatures.
I was like no, no and if I see abug, I'm killing it.
I'm letting y'all know rightnow, don't write me, don't write
me and I'm afraid of bugs.
So I was like, no, I, that wassomething I prayed about.
(23:19):
I was like god because I'm notgood to it, but again, right, it
seems like a small thing untilyou have a spider right, and
then you kill the second spiderand now it's an issue, right,
yeah, and, and, and, and.
It's a.
This is a little example, andthat was funny because something
wrong with you.
(23:42):
Yes, yes.
Thank you for showing me who youare so I can yeah that stuff
out.
And being unequally yoked isnot just about your faith.
You talk about another C word.
Right, core beliefs Are allcore beliefs the same.
I during my dating season and Iwish I had kept a better
(24:05):
journal because I had no ideaI'd be doing this work.
Right, but there was this thishappened to me more than once
where a man would find out thatI was a minister and had a
problem with female ministers.
Well, that's a problem for you,because I'm just doing what he
called me to do.
Y'all have to work that outwith Jesus on your own.
Take that to him.
Tell me to do.
(24:25):
But if that's going to be anissue, then you're disqualified,
right.
And the first thing that myhusband told me, the very first
conversation we had within thefirst like 10 minutes, he said
I'm called a ministry, are youOK with that?
Well, I'm a female minister,are you OK with that?
And his pastor was a woman.
So he was good.
Right, we don't check thosethings out or we say later oh,
(24:49):
they'll work, we'll work aroundthat.
The first time somebody callsyou at 10 o'clock with prayer
emergency, now it's a problem,he'll roll over, he might not
even hear the phone.
I don't think so.
He'll be like good night.
When I was mentoring I hadseveral mentoring groups and
(25:12):
these girls I was single at thetime, so I would get the 10
o'clock, 11 o'clock, midnightcalls.
I'm like, listen, go find yourmamas.
But at the time I was single,so it was okay.
Now, I get those calls as much.
I know how to work around it.
But if somebody called me andsometimes they do they have an
emergency.
I know that if that phone isringing, this is important.
(25:34):
Let me pick it up, let me seewhat's going on and, yep, I
might have to get out of the bedand start interceding.
He doesn't complain about that,and when he gets up in the
morning he might say what'sgoing on?
Everything good.
Or if it's something really big, and I come back and I'm like,
can you get up and come intoagreement?
He doesn't complain.
Now has he lost sleep?
Yes, is it inconvenient?
Yes, but these are agreementsthat we had before we got
(25:56):
married.
He knew who I was and what Iwas called to do, and I will
never ask you to step aside fromwhat God?
has called you to do.
If you say it's God, that'swhat it's going to be, and I
think to your credit, you haveto work all that out.
Can't be so enamored withhaving someone in your life that
they don't fit with the otherpieces Right, so that's great.
(26:23):
So we get along, have a goodtime, and we will go see a show
and he goes to church.
But what I'm?
called to do and who I'm calledto be, he doesn't like.
Or you end up with a wife whocan't support you know what did
you, what you do or how you lookat life, or all those things,
or she may not want to followyou to East Timbuktu.
You're called to be amissionary and she wants to be a
(26:45):
doctor's wife.
Not so well so we have to lookat all those things.
I'm so glad you brought thatinto the space, because those
are some of the practicalitiesthat sometimes in the body of
Christ we ignore.
And then it kicks our buttslater, right, so then I have
people back in the office sixmonths later going.
(27:05):
I don't know why.
I'm married.
I don't even know.
So the importance of communityright is also when you're in the
dating season.
I call it waiting, dating andmating right.
So when you're in waitingseason, you're single, when
you're dating, trying to figureout who you are and this, who
this person is, and then matingwhen you're getting married, you
(27:27):
need to have that community,you need to be accountable to
somebody who can say I think weneed to ask a few more questions
around this.
I think you need to payattention to some of the answers
you're getting and that kind ofthing.
So I don't disagree with you.
I think that having thatcommunity, it's very unique
right Because everyone there.
(27:48):
it's okay to say I want to bemarried.
It's okay to say, hey, is thisa red flag?
And you know we would havethose.
I have my red flag, sheliterally had a flag.
I'm like get that full sentenceout and we have a few black
flags too.
I want to talk to you after themeeting, because this is
(28:16):
sweetie, is a this?
Is starting to sound like aLifetime movie of the week.
We're not doing this.
Yes, amen, and I was going tosay also too like you know.
Pray for the Lord too, becausethat's something I did before
any phone call with anybody.
I always pray.
I say Lord, give me the ears tohear anything that doesn't
sound right.
(28:37):
Let them say it, you know.
Amen amen.
Like you know, I'm trying tohonor you and glorify you.
Give me the ears, you know, andlet me not ignore or overlook
or brush over anything that doesnot sound right.
And literally every phoneconversation I heard someone was
like Nope.
(28:57):
Okay, you know.
And then this guy, I waslistening and I was like okay.
I remember you calling me aboutthat.
Like I don't know because Idon't have any red flags.
Is this okay?
I'm like baby, stop looking fora problem.
Do you remember thisconversation?
I'm like baby, stop looking fora problem, do you remember?
(29:19):
This conversation.
I remember this conversation.
I was like there's no red flags.
I'm like, are you all right?
But here's the thing and wetalked about this in the group
that when we allow men to justbe themselves, they will reveal
who they are.
(29:39):
Yes.
Right, and if we're listeningattentively and we let God help
us to make our decisions, we'llhear, and then it's up to us not
to ignore what we hear.
If you talk to some of yourfriends who are not together now
with their, with their mate,they will tell you a lot of
times, more times than not, theyheard these things prior but
(30:03):
they let it go.
So there, yeah, there's somewisdom in that, in in just
making sure that you're reallylistening to understand yes,
absolutely.
And that you also give yourselfenough time and space to
process, and that I will alwayssay we never date in a vacuum,
(30:24):
right?
Yes, absolutely Never date in avacuum and there's a difference
between privacy and isolation.
Now I always say you do not putyour relationship on Facebook
and on social media until youare sure you're keeping them and
until you have made up in yourmind that this is the person for
(30:47):
you.
Because trust, nothing revealsa hidden hater quicker than an
open blessing.
And Okay, yeah, so until you'reready to to respond in the
comments and like kind, then Isay you don't post, everybody
doesn't need to know.
You make sure that there'ssomeone who has authority over
(31:07):
you, knows and it's trackingwith you.
Make sure that you have peersthat know, know and that are
tracking with you.
You know and can tell you likeyou are right, cause your
personality has not changed forthe better since you've been
with this person, right.
They're going to check in withyou, or girl, stop tripping.
That man doesn't have any redflags.
Go on and enjoy yourself.
(31:27):
Oh my gosh.
So we need that in our livesand I think that's one of the
things that the group reallyprovided.
And you know, I mean we'retalking a lot about the group
and a lot about Faith's timewith her sisters, but what did
you think when you heard thatshe had been in this coaching
program?
(31:48):
I was happy that she had, likeyou know, a community that
helped her, you know, along, youknow you and Kim, you're one of
the many great mentors in herlife, you know, um, she had Aunt
Adele, her mom, like even herdad, like a lot of people that
was around her.
Even her friends are reallylike good influences in her and
I'm just so thankful that, youknow, my wife had the influences
(32:11):
in around her before meeting me, because now I know that now
she was a woman that trusted theLord because of faith, but
she's a woman of characterbecause of the people she
surrounded herself with, youknow.
So I think it was a good thingthat you had this like community
, because not only you held eachother accountable but you
helped build each other up tofind, you know, to help everyone
(32:32):
to find the right person.
Yeah, oh, look at her.
Help everyone to find the rightperson.
Yeah, oh, look at her.
She's all googly-eyed.
Oh, that's my baby.
You know I'm thankful for that,because I think sometimes we get
a little anxious about askingfor this kind of help because it
(32:58):
is unique, right, and sometimesthe ladies don't feel
comfortable with a gentlemanknowing that they have been
through the coaching program.
But I'll tell you myself I wentthrough a coaching program.
I would not have been married.
I didn't know what to do, Ididn't know how to handle myself
or what to ask, what to lookfor, and my husband and I talk
(33:18):
about that all the time.
And also I think that again,that community, like you said,
leon, is so important, who yousurround yourself with, because
you can tell a lot by people'sfriends.
Amen yeah, you can tell a lot bychecking out their friends.
Oh my gosh, All right, so I gotthis newlywed.
I'm so.
(33:38):
I'm loving this.
Y'all had a whole entire year ofmarriage that went so
incredibly like yeah, I blinked,I was like whoa, yeah, you know
what's funny it?
was.
It was very weird because to meit felt fast but slow at the
(33:59):
same time, because each monthwas like a learning experience
of like whatever navigating likewe were talking about
navigating in-laws whose housewe're going to for which holiday
, and you know finances and youknow moving.
And even like little things,like you know where are we gonna
, how are we gonna organize thekitchen or the bathroom or
(34:21):
whatever?
that, too, is another yeah, whatfood we're gonna eat like all
these things like we were likelearning along the way, but it
did kind of sneak up on us atthe same time.
It's kind of weird to describe,because it it was like this,
but then at the same time, itwas like a gradual process too
(34:43):
for me.
What about you?
it was kind of similar for me.
Um, it was like uh, for me itfelt like fast, like oh, I just
blinked, it's 2024, now, summer,spring, but kind of like you
know what my wife was saying.
Like every month it was, I feel, like every day I learned
something new, like weexperienced something different
and it helped us to grow aspeople and helped us to not only
love each other more but tolove the lord more too yeah, so
(35:06):
I love that.
And you know what I'm going todo when this interview is
finished I'm going to go backand play it back, because I want
to see how many times he saidmy wife I was.
I am loving it.
I am loving it.
One of the things we talk aboutin group is, you know, never
(35:29):
let a man hide you, right?
If he's hiding you, something'sgoing on.
Either he's married, either hedoesn't plan to stay, or he's
embarrassed by you.
So this, I'm loving this.
My wife, I am absolutely lovingthat.
I'm eating that up like gravyon a stick.
Yes, my wife.
(35:52):
I have branded her MrsCollington.
Never the twain shall part, andyou say amen to that?
Yes, loving that I amabsolutely loving it, but you
know, um, we we've talked abouta lot of things.
I want to know a lot of thethings that you've experienced,
right, what about what's next?
(36:14):
So what's next for faith and leoh, man, oh man.
Ooh, we're nosy, yeah, we'renosy.
You want to go first, honey, oryou want us to go, I guess.
Well, yeah, we're going to berelocating to another place, so
we're in the process of moving.
(36:35):
So this is our first, I guess,move together, because when we
were engaged he moved into wherewe live first and then after we
got married, that's when Imoved in.
So this is our first movetogether, so it's kind of fun
seeing him pack up.
He's more organized than I am.
(36:55):
I'll admit that.
So he's very he's veryorganized and into packing, and
so seeing that dynamic is fun,yeah, and right now we're
enjoying the summer and we'reboth teachers.
Yeah, we're both teachers.
So we're going to startpreparing for next year coming
up in September.
(37:15):
And to add to what my wife issaying, like, yes, we're moving,
but also both being educated.
So I'm transitioning to a newum job now I'm living in style,
so I'm gonna be working stylingum within the next month or so
so, and my wife, she, also hasanother job opportunity in as a
teacher in another school aswell.
(37:36):
So we're just um, you know,last year to this year.
I can never imagine how theLord, like you know, would move
us.
You know what I mean, like howthe Lord is going to work in our
lives, but both being ineducation, both like living in
St Island together and justseeing how the Lord provides
each and every day, you know,it's just been amazing, you know
.
So I'm just very fortunate andI'm very definitely looking
(37:59):
forward to many more years, manymore anniversaries with my wife
, with your wife With your wife.
With your wife I love it.
So new digs, new jobs, newopportunities, right, it's just.
It seems like when you marrythe right person and you really
(38:20):
give it to God, there's ablossoming, there's a growing,
there's a blooming and you canexpect, you can ask for and
expect the blessing of the Lordon it.
Amen yes.
And, if it's okay, on Kim, Iwant to add to that too, like,
really, um, if you, when youlike, he finds why it finds a
(38:41):
good thing, right?
So before meeting, you know, mywife, faith, you know I was
working in a different um,what's it called?
What's the one with the fourdifferent job, different type of
job, right?
So my first year me and my wifewere dating, you know, in a
relationship.
I was looking different, youknow, job field, and then
(39:07):
somehow the lord just had anopportunity, education open and
then the like, that opportunitylet's not opportunity and let's
not opportunity.
So, and also, I can, I wasnever was without, and neither
was my wife, because as soon aswe commit to each other and
commit to what the lord wantsyou to do, he always is going to
provide.
But you're single when you'remarried, as long as we commit to
each other and commit to whatthe Lord wants you to do, he
always is going to provide,Whether you're single, whether
you're married, as long as youtrust him, you're good, you know
.
Amen to that.
Amen to that.
So I was getting ready to wrapup.
(39:28):
However, I think Proverbs 18,22, he that finds a wife finds a
good thing and obtains favorfrom the Lord.
So I think a lot of timespeople have misinterpreted this
scripture.
It's one of my pet peeves,right, because they take it for
women should be passive and justsit around on the couch and I
(39:50):
say this all the time waitingfor the husband's stork to drop
a man through the ceiling Right,and that is not what that
scripture means.
Going back to your point, one ofthe things that we look for and
I say this to women all thetime you're walking favor for
this man.
If he is really, if he, whenyou get married, you can tap
into that favor.
(40:11):
Say, father, I want to takecare of this woman.
You have given me this wife.
I need to be able to bringfinances into the household.
Give me a better job to be ableto bring finances into the
household.
Give me a better job.
Father's going to honor thatright.
This is her father.
It's your father too, but thisis her dad.
You're literally going to herdad and asking her dad to help
(40:32):
you take care of her.
He's really going to turn youdown?
Does that even make sense,knowing what we know about a
loving God?
So, looking at that, there's somuch wisdom in that there is so
much wisdom.
I really do believe, I amconvinced, and I don't think
anyone can convince me otherwise, so don't email me.
There are things that willhappen for you as a couple that
(40:57):
won't happen as a single.
And it's not to say that yoursingle years are not blessed and
if you never get married, thatyou're not going to accomplish
great things.
That's a lie from the pit tohell.
I did a lot when I was single,and the things that I do now
with my husband.
The word says that two have abetter return for their work.
So it sounds like you're gettinga different return for your
(41:19):
work now and he hasprogressively moved you forward
because you're taking good careof his daughter, so he says
let's entrust him with even more.
Let me give him a better job.
Let me put it closer to theirhome.
Right, let's move them to abetter apartment.
So it sounds like I'm hearingthat you have found this good
(41:41):
thing and the favor of the Lordis on it and we love that.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, I'm all in my feels.
I'm in my feels.
I'm in my feels we've had agreeting card moment.
We done, got all saw if you sayyour wife one more again, okay.
(42:02):
My wife babe my, wife babe mywife, my wife babe.
Everybody should have my wife,right?
Yes, I love that Listen that'swhat that man's supposed to do,
right.
Amen, yes.
Absolutely Not a question thatright yeah, but we love it.
