Engagement is more than planning a wedding — it’s preparing for a lifetime covenant before God.

In this episode of the Brave Way Podcast, Pastor Jeff and his wife talk honestly about the engagement season: biblical premarital counseling, wise counsel, sexual integrity, being equally yoked, handling doubts, and how to know if you’re truly ready for marriage.

They address real questions engaged couples face:

• Should Christians live together before marriage?

• What if you have doubts after the ring is on?

• How important is premarital counseling and biblical soul care?

• What does it mean to be equally yoked?

• When is it wise to slow down — or even end an engagement?

You’ll hear practical wisdom rooted in Scripture about honoring God, protecting your future marriage, communicating expectations, listening to trusted mentors, and building a foundation that will last.

Marriage is permanent. Engagement is the time to ask hard questions, seek wise counsel, and do it God’s way.

If you’re dating, engaged, or mentoring young couples, this episode will equip you with biblical clarity for building a Christ-centered marriage.
