Oh my, I'm LOVING his honesty!! "You don't understand the scars, the pain, the sleepless nights, and the anxiety". So beautiful he's trying to help help you avoid all of that, men. Take advantage!

The whole sermon was so good. We need more sermons like that. Men need spiritual fathers who speak the truth from scripture in their life.

Thank you so much for this! I had a lonely ache in my soul this Christmas feeling low about being almost 38 and still a single Pringle. This has super charged my faith believing God has a godly man out there who will know my worth in Christ. Thank you! 🙏

I needed to hear this message after getting rejected by a man, reason for rejection is being intense and intimidating! I would say, I love the Lord intensly and I have the fear of the Lord in my heart. Thank you Pastor JP for this great message. I pray men look for a woman's after God's heart not someone who fits their personal type or agenda.

[annmaxwell]

Thank you for helping me to see the value in myself in The Lord's eyes for my future husband! This helped my self-esteem and self-worth so much, in the name of Jesus!

When I was younger, between the ages of maybe 15 and 24ish (I am now 28), I cared a lot about how I looked. I would make my hair perfect every day. I would straighten my hair perfectly. Not a single hair could be out of place. I researched how I should do my make-up to be attractive to most men. A bit of make-up to accentuate my features, but not enough to make me look over-done. I made sure my outfits were perfect, not too revealing, but a little bit teasing. When I would flirt with men (thinking that's how I gain value as a woman - being physically attractive to men), they would want my body. But I didn't want to sleep with them. All I really wanted was love.

I love how this is simultaneously biblical, hilarious, captivating, real, vulnerable and comprehensive. This is great teaching. Excellent job! 🙌🏽🔥

30:52 there is a MAJOR difference between having good hygiene and having decor pieces for aesthetic. the two can not and SHOULD not be compared. having good hygiene and being clean is essential for EVERYONE'S health, guys and girls, married or not. if you can't even take care of the space you live in, not decorate it or make it aesthetic or whatever, but simply keep it clean, how can you take care of yourself, let alone lead a family? keeping clean and practicing good hygiene is a basic life skill and necessity everyone should learn!! it's never too late. it's not about aesthetic or making something look nice, it's literally only about keeping it clean. It's basic. grow up and tackle the mess. If you can't really can't do it, hire help. Figure out a way to make your space livable. It's part of growing up.

32:21 there is nothing wrong with girls getting their nails done or taking care of themselves as long as they find a balance and they can afford it. guys and girls need to take care of themselves to take care of others, otherwise it can lead to burn out.

22:23 "it's easier when you have a partner that's good at things that you're not good at" needs to be expanded much more or else it can be taken out of context really quick. it's okay to find someone who has weaknesses in certain hobbies or other nonessentials, but what about characteristics? values? beliefs? it's not the same. it can't be applied to someone with an addiction, or temperament issue or spiritual struggle. we can't solely rely on others' strength. we have to be working on our own at the same time. 22:07 you said "you would not complete them but compliment them." but looking for a partner based on them having strengths where you are weak is EXACTLY that.
David Marvin said it best a few weeks ago: "be the person who you are looking for is looking for."

This is one of the best sermons that I have been blessed to hear that shines a powerful light on the working of a relationship

This has changed my perspective. Thank you Jesus

After 13 years of being with my spouse… I used to be all these things until I had to be a leader… I don’t have time to make things pretty, the things God has called me to do… I’m also trying to be the man of the house too

[FaithFashionFinances]

I am on the opposing end where men approach me and want to have conversations about looks. Call me high maintenance, but these conversations are extremely boring to me. I enjoy intelligent conversations. Let’s talk about scripture, or the word or something productive.
