Marrying a man of godly character sounds amazing... but how can you know if he’s actually walking the walk — not just talking the talk? 

You need more than good vibes and sweet words. You need real answers to questions like:

“What kind of character does this guy really have?”
“Where does his heart stand when it comes to God’s Word?”
“Is his love for the Lord visible in his daily actions?”
“Does he truly live with Scripture as the highest authority in his life?”

In today’s episode, Kristen and Bethany get real about what it looks like to truly discern a man’s heart — so you can make wise, Christ-centered relationship decisions that stand the test of time.
