EP 35: We Got Married, Got Complacent... Then God Stepped In

   / @intentionalrising   In this honest and deeply personal episode, Jennifer and Festus return from a God-led sabbatical to reflect on one powerful year of ministry through Intentional Rising. From behind-the-scenes of their April “True Love Waits” live event to the conviction that followed seven years of complacency in marriage, this episode is full of revelation, repentance, and restoration. They share the exact moment God told them to start the podcast, how He redeemed the time they thought they wasted, and why your waiting season is not just about getting married—it’s about being rooted in Christ. Plus, they answer some of your most asked questions: Can I pray for a specific person to be my spouse? How do I know if I’m ignoring red flags or just being patient? How do I hear from God? How can I fight sexual desires as a single woman? They also announce their new 4-part podcast series, Rooted in the Spirit, based on Galatians 5 and give details on the upcoming “True Love Waits ATL” and summer Patreon study, Faith & Fire: Elijah. 💬 Don’t forget to share your testimony with them at intentionalrising.com, join the email list, and subscribe for weekly truth-filled episodes that challenge, convict, and point you back to Jesus.
