In this final episode of their introductory series, Jeff and Jourdan step into marriage after years of breakups, questions, and hard-won revelations. Their engagement wasn’t marked by grand gestures but by a quiet, resolute decision to move forward together.

They talk about their wedding day - beautiful monument - and that even after the vows, new challenges arise: intimacy, identity, and the call to lay down one’s life for another.

They don’t have all the answers, but they trust God is writing a story beyond their understanding. With their backstory complete, they now turn outward, inviting others to wrestle, question, and find freedom in the light.

After years of back and forth, Jeff and Jourdan take us into the most painful and transformative season of their journey. This episode revisits their three breakups, the heartbreak and healing that followed, and the unexpected road that led them back together.

Jeff opens up about his internal battles—how confession was freeing, but the struggle for wholeness was far from over. Jourdan shares her perspective on learning to release control, finding healing in the Lord, and what it meant to finally let go of a future she had fought so hard for. Both of them, separately, came to a place where they had to believe that God alone was enough. And just when they thought their paths had fully diverged, God rewrote the story in a way neither of them could have predicted. If you’ve ever struggled with knowing when to let go, when to fight for something, or how to trust God’s timing in relationships, this episode is for you.

In this raw conversation, Jeff and Jourdan unpack:

• The role of counseling in their healing
• What it felt like to truly surrender their futures to God
• How grace (even in betrayal) shaped the trajectory of their lives
• The moment they knew they were meant to be together—for good

🎧 Stay tuned for the next episode, where they step into marriage and navigate intimacy, expectations, and the next chapter of their story.
