Dear Future Husband

"I never thought I could love again… until I did."

In this tender and honest episode of the Dear Future Husband Podcast, Courtney Pray Duke shares what it’s like to open your heart after you were certain it was closed forever. After losing her first husband, love felt impossible — even unimaginable. The grief was heavy. The future felt rewritten. And the idea of loving another man felt both distant and complicated.

Courtney vulnerably walks through the emotions no one prepares you for — the guilt, the fear, the questions, and the quiet hope that slowly returns. She talks about honoring her late husband while stepping into a new relationship, learning that moving forward doesn’t mean moving on, and discovering that the heart can expand in ways we never expect.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll never love like that again,” this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t erase your past — it makes room for a future. And sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it.

Valentine’s Day can make singleness feel louder than usual. But what if this season isn’t about waiting — it’s about preparation?
In this special episode, I share 3 ways to intentionally prepare for marriage as a single woman who desires a godly relationship. We talk mindset shifts, dating with clarity, emotional readiness, and becoming the woman you’re asking God to bless.

You’ll also hear a live Q&A where I answer honest questions about dating, standards, and how to stay hopeful.

This conversation was recorded during our first-ever live taping at a Galentine’s celebration — a room full of women choosing growth in their single season.

Because you’re not just single.
You’re in preparation.

What do you do when following Jesus puts tension in your closest relationships, especially with your family?
In this episode of Dear Future Husband, Christian Bevere sits down with Sazan Hendrix to talk honestly about navigating faith, love, and obedience when the people you love most are not on the same page. Raised in a Middle Eastern Kurdish family, Sazan shares how unexpectedly falling in love with a Christian boy changed her life forever.
We touch on topics such as:
How do you honor your parents when they do not share your beliefs?
How do you walk in obedience without hardening your heart or burning bridges?
The cost of choosing faith and the pain of misunderstanding, and the slow, faithful work of God in redeeming relationships.
This episode is for anyone navigating love across different backgrounds, carrying the weight of family expectations, or praying for God’s hand over their future marriage. It is a reminder that when you trust God with your love story, He is able to honor your faith, redeem what feels fractured, and write a story that is far more beautiful than you could plan on your own.

In our second conversation, with my father-in-law and renowned author, John Bevere, he confronts the spiritual roots shaping modern relationships. We explore how sin nature influences attraction, why God’s design for marriage clashes with today’s dating culture, and how compromise—often mistaken for chemistry—can quietly cost us covenant.

Drawing from biblical truth and traditional Jewish courtship, John challenges common dating patterns and unpacks why so many Christian women (and men) find themselves choosing the wrong partners again and again. This episode calls listeners to move from emotion-led decisions to discernment rooted in truth.
