In this episode, Pastor Mike responds to a difficult relationship situation involving engagement, conflict, and emotional instability. When a relationship shows signs of anger, avoidance, and lack of accountability—especially before marriage—it raises serious concerns.
He explains why engagement is not a binding covenant like marriage, and why it’s important to step back, seek wise counsel, and evaluate the relationship honestly. If there are clear red flags such as refusal to seek pastoral guidance, emotional harm, or instability, it may be wise to pause or even walk away.
This teaching offers biblical wisdom and practical guidance for anyone navigating relationships, engagement, and the decision to pursue—or reconsider—marriage.
