EP 21: How Do You Know The Love is Real?

In relationships, it is easy to fall in love with who someone could be, rather than who they actually are right now. But how do you tell the difference between a partner who is building a future and one who is just wasting your time?
In this touching and transformative conversation, Pastor Tiffaney opens up about the early days of her relationship with Pastor James. She shares why she felt completely safe with him, even when he was driving a 1993 Nissan Sentra and rebuilding his life after prison. She didn't look at his bank account; she looked at his character and how he treated her.
Pastor James drops a powerful truth about the law of "Seed time and harvest time" in love. This video will teach you how to inspect the "fruit" of a person’s life so you don't spend years sowing your heart into laziness, pride, or rebellion.
In this video, you will learn:
- The "Safety" Signal: Why feeling emotionally safe and heard is more valuable than material wealth.
- Potential vs. Purpose: How to identify if someone has truly found their purpose or if they are selling you a dream.
- The "Seed" Rule: Why you must stop nurturing deficits in people who refuse to grow.
- True Vulnerability: The power of being 100% your authentic self with your partner.
