You don't find a partner in church, you find a partner in Christ. ❤
Yes!
Powerful
You're right
Necessarily, my husband was a Christian for 18 years. I’ve been married for 24. He stopped serving God. He hid behind the church.
Amén!
"You don't know your brokenness until you're in an environment that brings it up".. ❤❤
I felt this deeeeep
True
❤😢
Soooo true
Perfectly said
30 plus years of marriage and still learning-God is faithful..
“He’s healed wounds I didn’t even know existed.”
That.Line.Right.There!!😭❤️
Wooow it helped me so much when she talks about being patient with other people because our journey is different thank you❤
"Some arguments you don't have face to face, you have them on your knees".
Whew!
Good Stuff 🙌🏽
Good Stuff 🙌🏽
Ive been finding that out.
Wow, that statement is soo good. Lord help !
"Everyone is on a journey. Be patient with them "
You don’t even know what’s broken until you are in an environment that brings it out. That’s good.
That part. Marry a man that is saved and at least that one challenge that you don’t have to disagree about.
She's so beautiful and then you hear her speak and it gets even better😂 woman of God you inspire me so much.
Submission is beautiful when you're married to the right person 😊
There'snt any right person out there other than you! It's you to modify/nature him right 👍
Every marriage has challenges even if married to a preacher or saved man. Pray pray pray. Marriage can be fun when you too are true friends.
Friendship is a critical foundation for any Godly marriage. But that doesn't mean that you have to spend years trying to be a friend. It can happen naturally over a short time.
Stephanie is so wise! I can listen to her speak all day. I also love how I can connect with the way she thinks and explains everything. What a blessing!
What about the scripture that says we should not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers? I don’t think it’s wise to go into a marriage if you both aren’t Christians. However like the example Stephanie gave, if we have unsaved friends - both male and female, we can encourage them to come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord by the way we interact with them in love and patience, and especially praying for them. Marriage has enough challenges on its own. Don’t make it extra hard by going into it if one of you is saved and the other is not. What does the Word say? Lastly, if you find yourself in that situation once you are married, continue to pray for your unsaved spouse and walking in love, believing that they will get saved - especially if the unsaved spouse wants to stay married.
It is GOD that yokes people together, not religion. He knows the TRUE nature of a person's heart, not man.
Take Queen Ester, for example, God NEEDED her in that position to save HIS people. King Ahasuerus wasn't a Jew/Hebrew, Ester was even told to hide her identity from everyone.
So we can't box the Lord up, HE knows the plans He has for us, plans to prosper us, and not to harm us. He knew these plans BEFORE we were formed in our mother's womb. And it is HIS plans that will prevail. We simply must go to Him for our role and TRUST that our Father, our Creator, knows what is best for us🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love this. The dangers of being married to an unbeliever are too high, because the unsaved spouse needs to show willingness. My parents are married for more than 40 years. My dad hasn't changed and he is not interested in getting saved. He says he believes in cultural customs. He even knows that as his kids, we don't wish to have a marriage like theirs. He is so hard- headed.
💯 right
We need conversations like this from women submitted to God and their husbands!!!!!! I love this
I can’t even imagine how anyone who is truly saved can go into a marriage with an unbeliever! I think the elephant in the room are those individuals who claim to live and walk by faith but are actually walking in deception. People claim God said but it was really “I want…”.
True faith does not covenant with the *unlikeness of God.
Wow! "If you were the only image of God I see, would I want to know Him?" Such a POWERFUL statement!
This stood out to me, "Creating the right environment for her to thrive" - this is man's responsibility.
Our job is to reflect God, not judge anyone. 📌
That’s such a great answer: it’s not your job to lead anyone to Christ. Your job is to reflect your authentic relationship with God.
you can only lead someone in the good sense if they want to be lead.
@terry Amen well said

Learnt a lot here today… currently in a study group where young single women are being taught to be whole before they are attached to their husbands
Hallelujah ~ we are in new time, we need to be whole & love ourselves . Not be pressured into unhealthy relationships, not just marriage💚
Perfectly said we need to discover our selves more before inviting the other person in.... especially discovering our Worth and letting God to be the foundation of everything we do
I can I joined the group and how do I join please
Please, how can I join the group
Please how can i join the group
When she says man and wife is " an office in God" 💞
Except that the statement isn’t Biblical.
@@Ad-Lobut how is it Not? We have a duty to speak the gospel to build the kingdom. Is it not? That in its self is a responsibility we are held to
@@Ad-Loget the meaning of what she was trying to pass across
I don't know how i stumbled on this. I must confess that this was such a wholesome, sound, healthy, spiritual and amazing content. Thank you for making it look so easy.😊😊
It is a problem if a woman is under the authority of a 'King' (husband) who lacks maturity. I agree with you. The process of finding out who you are and who you're committing to is important.
I thinks thats easier said and done when you and your spouse love each other and you both are committed to God.
Stephanie is so dope!! I absolutely love her. True woman and servant of God. Great interview!!❤🎉
'Authenic to yourself' I love this ❤️
Pastor Ike is so beautiful ❤
Yho wena very !
"If you are the only image of God I see, do I wanna know Him" ... Deep
I only knew about her last night and I wish I knew her earlier. She is very wise. I really admire her loads
I luv you Stephanie. You really hit the nail on the head
Oh! Wow! This message is for me. I received it and will be patient to see the transition because I know that whatever I have been and am still praying for, will come in God’s time, which is the right time. Thank you both for this conversation. I have been trying to reach Paster Stephanie, but maybe one day, God will, we will cross our path when the time is right. God is Good! 🙏
Thank you ladies for this beautiful, enlightening conversation ❤ whew this is powerful!!!

Great video! Learned lots. I found the interviewer's voice to be low though. Stephanie's was fine
I love this, i was laughing through out because i can relate so much, i can't get angry at my husband all day like i cry for two minutes and next moment am happy.
Sometimes the season of singleness can be so overwhelming especially when you look around and see everyone boo up but as I reflected on Adam he was alone for a season before God gave him Eve and said its not good for man to be alone so its important be learn to cherish the single season
What!!! Stephanie Ike got married and I missed it. Where have I been
The man is blessed to have had you as wife sincerely speaking..
Wow so so powerful. I’ll be patient and reflect Christ in everything I do and say. Thank you Jesus 🙌🏾♥️
Finally I hear someone be real about what we've learned since being married.I really needed this! Thank you
Love that answer: exposure is valuable
Such godly and eye opening conversation...learned a lot frm it n so comforted bcs lm not perfect n lm learning tht everyone has issues n we cn just work through them with the Lord's help that's always available...thanks Kingdom ladies 💝🤍💜
“It’s organic when both people are surrendered to God” Wow!!!
Wow! 👏👏👏Such an enlightening podcast. Thank You Stephanie! Definitely learnt a couple of things as regards marriage and having an impact as a genuine Christian on people around you living a life reflective of the Gospel of Jesus.
Glory be to God!
As God prepares him for me and me for him❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
"Your job is to reflect the authenticity of Christ" Awesome video!
wow thank you so much, this so encouraging given the fact that tomorrow is my anniversary, we are making 3 years. thank you for shining more light on submission. i love it. Indeed Love is Patient
Marriage is two 80%s coming together, in Christ Jesus, to grow in wholeness and holiness together. Reminds me of something that Love McPherson said about interdependence. Thank you young sisters for this blessed conversation. 🦋❤️
Yeah...😂 I'm also the processor😂😂😂...and my husband wants to talk about it all right away!😂😂😂😂
My take on oneness is marriage,is a. Teaching on how God yarns for intimacy from us one day back 2017,the Holy Spirit asked me why we make Him,so lonely,God needs a close relationship with us
Just like we have with our partners
Wow.
Seen Stephanie and had to click! Love hearing from a wise woman! ( before listening to the podcast). Will definitely drop a comment after :).
If you were the only IMAGE OF GOD I'll see, would I ever want to know him? This is my take-home nugget of wisdom . God bless you both 🙏 ❤️ 🙌. You are my Kingdom sisters, and I love ❤️ you both.
I love Pastor Stephanie ! I listen to her all the time!❤
please i really need an explanation on what she meant by "it's not your job to lead anyone to Christ, it is your job to reflect Christ". it does say in the bible that we've been given the ministry of reconciliation, and anyone who wins souls is wise. isn't that you leading others to Christ?
Lovely interview.....My God...Indeed you two ladies are vessels of God 😇. Blessings & Love from Uganda 🇺🇬🙏🏾
Dear Michelle ❤
you are where it all started for me. I learnt so much from you..from before you were even a Mrs❤
GOD bless your beautiful soul ♡
God bless you sis. Thank you for sharing that. God is so good!!
WOW!!!! This is an awesome interview.
Oh my God, she really dropped wisdom ❤❤
Really love Pastor Stephanie, she is such a Lady.
Also emotionally we are vulnerable,we love 100percent snd men know this,and instead of embracing they sbuse it
This conversation was so good 👏🏾
I enjoyedy single season too! I traveled and did the things that I wanted to do! I think society puts too much emphasis on being married. What is the point in getting married then 10 years down the road you realized that you married the wrong person!
I really enjoyed this interview with pastor Stephanie she's such good teacher of the word i lije break message down even 10 understand it use bible scriptures back it up not own words
These two beautiful women's of God you definitely see God glory on them
There's beauty in submission.
Thanks so much Ma for these. I have learnt a lot from this video.
God bless you Ma ❣️
We are supposed to both lead people to Christ and reflect Christ to them. Its contradictory to say in one breath to be careful who you are married to so you are submitting to a fool, then also downplay the person's walk with Christ. One who is not submitted to Christ will make foolish decisions. No daughter of Zion will be at peace submitting to that type of leader. We need to stick with the word and not mix in worldly idealogies.
Li you 😊
I agree💯
It isn’t contradictory because shes addressing two different groups of women: she saying if you are saved, don’t marry someone who is unsaved. However, some people only become saved after they are already married. In that case, the saved person shouldn’t missionary date, but the Christian who gets saved later shouldn’t manipulate. It’s consistent with the Apostle Paul’s teachings.
Even a saved person has times of making foolish decisions. Submission doesn't mean going with everything you've husband says without thinking. It's submitting to a mission, anything that's being done for the good and betterment of your union
The other partner may even be a Christian and they are lukewarm, making foolish decisions. The genuine Christian partner will still be led by foolishness. Marry purpose, marry someone whom you both can fufill God’s purpose together.
12 years of marriage an i pray God keep on teaching me
There are those who chose to stay through falls and as sin approaches marriages. You don't know if by you the spouse the other will be saved. That's a different walk and leading.
I admire Stephen Ike so much
The ending though👌Convicting and encouraging 😩.
Great Question: if you are the only image of God I see, would I want to know Him
This blessed me. Help me daily Holy Spirit ❤🙏🏾
This video was amazing I sent it to all of my friends
This was refreshing to listen and watch. I learnt a lot❤
Me too!
Loved them both , I have learned so much from
These ladies 💕💕💕💕
I enjoyed the interview, and both of you ladies were Awesome!!!
Pastor Stephanie you are an Amazing woman of God!
My family, friends and I love listening to you and Pastor Sarah Continued Blessings to you and your church family! We can’t wait to see you at the conference!
This video blessed my morning ! I admire you both ! God bless ❤
2nd Corinthians 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers . For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Light with darkness?
And those who become born again AFTER they are already married? She needs to appeal to the reality of her audience’s spiritual condition.
@Ad-Lo I think Christians have this idea that people can't become Christians post marriage and that it is possible for a Christian to no longer want to be a Christian even though the couple were Christians before marriage. This is a reality a lot of people don't think about and refuse to accept. Unfortunately, it's not grounds for divorce. It's something the couple have to work through
That was nice she was able to see someone like Sarah value her home. That touched me. That gives me something to work on since I never seen that.
Learnt a lot. God bless you both❤️
Respect and honor is key
congratulations Christy 🎉 by this time next year I will be holding my twins in my husband's house in Jesus name 🙏🏾
I strongly agree, Do Not marry un equally yoke!
It is written! Being in a marriage,submitting,being an example,praying for that spouse’s salvation can be
long,lonesome,horrible walk!!! I wouldn't want anyone to go through! The marriage ended in a Divorce,Ihonored God and my marriage,God honored and blessed me(my children honored and respected me to the utmost) and so does their father.
That was 16years ago,a person has to want something for them self,Not to say it won’t ever happen!Our God is Able! I am a true respecter of his timing!
I am so Grateful to Our Lord,for him rescueing me!
Ladies/Men date and collect your data!!!
For you that are already in it,God is in the mist of everything,let him guide you,his will shall be done
make sure you stay in your walk cause we are held accountable as individuals!! He’s an Awesome God!!!
Live,Learn,Forgive,Love, and Share!
Best podcast ever! Thank you so much God & ladies !!💗💗💗
Know the foundation you stand upon. That’s good.
Oh wow what a session♥️🥺🙌🔥💯
This was awesome I learned alot love pastor Stephanie
Am amazed how we miss our a lot of time with God after Marriage its limted
Please pray for me Katarina, thanks, God bless you ...who is my kingdom husband ?
Thank you so much for this episode its so refreshing i learned alot from both of you.
The question is: if you are a woman dating someone who claims to be a Christian but is not, what to do? Hmmm... the answer in this Clip for me was not clear enough.
I prefer what a commenter said in here: do not be unequally yoked. Let's keep it plain and simple. We, single women of God, have no business dating a man who has no relationship with God.
I agree. I didn't know about being unequally yoked until it was said straight from the bible. It's dangerous being unequally yoked as a believer. This should have been clearly stated as you shared. Encouraging video nonetheless.
I think they're discussing it in the context of marriage. Some people become Christians after marriage and they are the ones who ask questions like that.
I humbly offer 1 Cor. 7:12-16 and 1 Peter 3: 1-7
not to encourage being unequally yoked but there is guidance if you are
Absolutely correct. It’s very dangerous. I could see where there would be some exceptions to this but in most cases, don’t go chasing waterfalls
The question was specifically about people dating not married @@DSN430
So many profound insights to pick from this. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I LIKE THE HOST GOOD TO SEE STEPHANIE
Love your floral dress! Where did you get it?
''you can only reflect Christ to help someone''
-Stephanie Ike
And i think The best way to reflect Christ is by Obeying him when he leads u

Thank you for sharing such wonderful wisdom.
JUST FLESH ...IN THE LAST DAYS MAN WILL BE LOVERS OF THEMSELF
There is beauty in the submission
Thank you so much for this amazing content.
Powerful 🔥
So good! It’s the posture of your heart for me! AMEN
