@K A I agree.I just was saying sometimes its just preparatin for you becoming a better person and not necessarily a better mate. Because people don't want to realize that Gods will for you maybe be never married. It happens more time than people are willing to think.
Singleness is not always preparation for everyone. God does not call everyone to marriage. Many people are amazing single people of God doing incredible work for Jesus whom will never ever be married to anyone but Jesus
This was so good. It’s funny that you mentioned this podcast is for older people. I’m 21, and my mother-who is relatively young (under 45), recommended this podcast to me. The stories, testimonies, and wisdom I’ve gotten from this podcast is unreal. Especially the strong, saved Black male demographic. As someone who didn’t grow up with saved Black men around me, I love it here. Respectfully, as a young person…this podcast is for ANY generation. There is much to learn. These are real conversations that I know I won’t find in a pulpit every Sunday.
OMG yes! Easily top 5 best episodes! And his reason for coming on (EXCELLENCE)! What a compliment to God and Laterras! THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOO GREAT! 😱🙌🏽 Just wow!
I’m 53 so maybe that’s true, lol. However, I share certain episodes with younger people I know. The funny part is, I’m no longer a churchgoer nor am I looking to be married again. But I absolutely love, love, relationships and marriage. For me it’s the non-judgemental, genuine approach. Laterras does just enough, asks the right questions but is also empathetic. He definitely keeps it LIT. 😊So yes, I do believe there’s something here for everyone
This young man is truly called by God, ALL his videos you just feel, see, hear wisdom, and the anointing!!! And his humbleness. AWESOME AWESOME PODCAST. PRAISE GOD
I’m 23 and LOVE this podcast. And I’m so encouraged that there are actual MEN in my generation that love God and have a real relationship with him; that can lead and are preparing themselves for their “Rib”. Chile I’m encouraged because they DO exist😭🙌🏽✨ Forget money and status.. Baby can you lead and cover me spiritually and can you carry the MANTLE of being a husband?? Obviously a few understand the assignment! I see you God!!!!!
I love Al's advice on creating "War Plans" What time does the enemy come against me? What people make me weak? How does the enemy attack me? What type of music, environment make me trip? I am going to create my War Plans. This was so powerful to me! This is being intentional in recognizing the enemy's schemes against me. Everyone will be tried. Thank you Al.
This discussion was needed. I think if more people believed when it comes to the spiritual realm, we would see more “relationships” with God, not religion. My son is 27 and my daughter is 24. This young man is a blessing!
Thank you for exposing me to healthy men through your podcast. Something I never saw growing up. Regardless of having daddy issues, my choice of men being questionable in the past. I always believed that healed men existed and I get to see that through this podcast. Thank you
I cannot help but share your sentiments @Ana. I never thought the calibre of men this podcast has exposed me to actually existed. It is re-assuring and comforting to see the wonderful guests you have had and I find myself re-assessing and re-evaluating myself and my walk whenever I watch the podcast. @Laterras, this episode's letter spoke to me. I often wonder how many of us are willing and capable of loving others beyond and/or despite their flaws and shortcomings.
I agree..tbh I want to believe thatnthese men exist..regardless of not seeing any whilst growing up I have been confident that they are there until about 2 years ago. I am mostly convinced now that they don't with a small part of me still hoping that they do and that I will get to meet,learn, love and marry one handpicked and sent by God.
This podcast helped me come back to Christ I stopped following his word for while and ran cross your couples interviews and since then I’ve been seeking his word again ever since ❤
A servant’s heart is as quiet as a sleeping baby… yet, is loud as clashing thunder to other servants. Love the real talk on recognizing demons, walking in one’s calling, restrictions, straight up trusting God’s provision rather than logic…. While still doing the work under His obedience. This one right here… this son of God, this episode is a jewel… a seed. Powerful. 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! This was one of the best episodes ever! I love Albener’s quiet and gentle spirit. He increased my confidence in my single season. I get tired of explaining to people that I’m working on God’s purpose. It’s sad that’s an uncommon thing now. Thank you both men of God! Such a beautiful interview
That brother is deep. Came across his page very recently and am amazed at the poise and serenity he possesses when he speaks. May the Lord continue to bless His ministry 🙏🏾🙏🏾
1:06:41 "That season is over, come over here." ~ Laterras 1:12:41 "Whole people are attracted to whole people." ~ Albaner For me this season is called being made whole. Thank you for allowing God to use you as vessels for healing. Stay blessed. ❤
Just from listening a couple of dear future wifey podcasts my thought structure has changed radically. I concluded that God knows us. Like those deepest desires we cannot talk about because of being afraid of judgement and being seen as arrogant. You know from watching these podcasts I'm learning to embrace my singleness and understanding that everyone has their own journey. I've learnt not to compare my journey to anyone's else. Sometimes I thought I was unrealistic with my prayers but this stuff has just answered me that Nope I'm normal. And I've made a conscious decision that I am not going to settle for less when I know God has more.
21:18 there was another section that spoke to me before I started listening to this podcast. I heard God tell me its time to be more serious. I know what hes called me to do and I too have been running. Some of my personal problem is not wanting to be looked at like I think im better than others because when I do start walking in my purpose some of that will come where my loved ones or co workers will think that. But I cant worry about that anymore. Because when you are in position there is a certain authority you walk with. I believe its his anointing!
They haven’t seen anything yet because my rib hasn’t come…..that was powerful! The marriage is ministry! Thank you for this. Both great examples of Black Men doing the WORK!
I’m having an issue at my church, I have asking to lead a singles Christian group now for over 7 years. He asked me to write a proposal and then i had to asked what’s going with me leading the group? He said he was looking for someone to lead the group. This singles group is not a hook up group. It’s singles learning to do single life according to the Bible. We don’t have community where we connect or have a voice. We go to church to and leave. After church I never hear from anyone. I go to church on WednesdayS AND Sundays to all strangers. I love my church! I love my Pastor. I need more and God’s calling me to more. I need a church and Pastor to push & midwife me into all what God’s has called me to. I feel tolerated instead of being celebrating. God HELP ME! PLEASE AGREE WITH ME THAT I WILL BE OBEDIENT TO THE VOICE AND DIRECTIONS OF THE LORD. THANKS
Gentlemen. You're wives, purpose partners, lovers, loves, girlfriends, sweethearts, babies, baes or whatever you'll call her - are where they are right now, where they need to be, cheering U on as U go forth & prosper while they're going forth & prospering in their own space. The divine collision, connection will happen at the right time & it'll be uncomplicated. They're running, while you're running & as U connect, y'all will just start running together 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💞
I’m a year late for this episode but it was right on time! This was such a great conversation that HAD to be had. Thank you God for using Albaner and Laterras to get this message out there! 🙏🏾💚
Thank you so much, I needed this. In a season where everyone’s wondering why my wife is… there are options but not the right ones… God has been whispering patience in my ears for a while now. He told me “no compromises, just patience. “ 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m at this phase currently and I’m creating a box and every time I’m having a moment about my single season I’m going to right it down and surrender it to God and put it in the box. I think singleness feels this way because of Society and especially when you add kids in the mix. I pray love finds us all sooner than later ❤
i used to look forward waiting on my weekly podcasts: In the light by Dr Anita Philips, 30min with the Perrys and the homecoming by Dr Thema but Sir Laterras🤭...... When I discovered your podcast 1 year ago, the more I listen the more I get excited for the next one and guess what, now if the notification from Dear Future wifey pops up, my face is all lighten up with a big smile. You're a game changer and thank you for being YOU at the service of others and God. Bless your heart.😇
Listen, I'm 26 and South African. He's been Uncle 'Terry to me for nearly 2 years. This here is home,where else must we get groomed though😭 .Beloved generation ,heaven is truly on our side , this(sanctuary over here) is one such marker!
He referenced community a lot. It’s sooooooo important. True community, friendship will hold you accountable. He’s right sometimes accountability does not always feel good but it’s good for you.
I'm very content and satisfied with Christ in my single season. If there's frustration then it might mean you're not fulfilling the purpose God has for you .I'm content cause I'm operating in my purpose and serving others .
I’m in a Season where God is requiring me to ask him for what I desire in a mate. He is also requiring more of me (discipline, mind, body and spirit). I asked him to take the desire for companionship, love and relationship overall away. He hasn’t. He is requiring me to work through this and also my elevate my ‘comfortable’ faith. I’m growing; learning so much in this season
Dear future wifey is not only fathering young men, its fathering, brothering, wing-maning, and teaching young ladies too, we are also learning how to do relationships right. Thank you Latteras. It is very very important what we choose to listen to and to have older examples, there are lessons, that we need to learn Titus 2:1-5. Really liked the revelation that a man looking for a wife he should get involved with the ministry so he can understand the relationship between Christ and the church and how he loves the church.
Im 23 years old and I am praying that God will allow me and my husband someday to be on your podcast because I am learning sooo much from these videos . I watch 2 videos a day because they so good . Even my conversations are so different because of this podcast . May God bless you!
I am so moved by this session. I have run away from my assignment so many times because I didn't want to be on the pulpit and it's always been the realness of God's that that has moved me to submit to His will. It's His constant and consistent love that has become an anchor and strength.
I have to be honest being single for a while it’s difficult. Being 30 I find myself thinking about it almost all the time. I’m a believer and I know that god works in mysterious ways and things happen at his appointed time. I just don’t know how to be patient.
I feel your pain you are not alone in this. Im 32 and still trying to be patient as well.. All my friends and siblings are married and have a family. It makes me feel left out and behind but i just got to be patient and wait on the Lord who knows whats best and when the best timing is. Be encouraged
Laterras! OMG! Jesus! This Podcast was so much meat and revelation knowledge to me for I am a 56 year old single female Pastor. The wisdom that came from this 26 year old MOG gives me hope! As you were submitting yourself to your new Pastor the Lord was showing me that you were reestablishing his order of Men as Christ being their head. Women and children want to respect and honor the Man in their life but if he is not submitted to anyone we feel unsafe Spiritually,physically and emotionally. Even though I am a Pastor men that I have met have Church hurt and don't trust Church or Pastors. Thank you so very much for your Transparency and allowing your testimony and transformation to be Glorified through Christ Jesus our Lord. I pray The Holy Spirit will continue to use you and Bless you 🙏🏼💝🙌🏽💯Amen!!!
Singleness is often treated like a disease that has to be managed until a cure is found. Wanting to be married and spiritually connected with someone is beautiful...but so is finding peace and happiness with being single. I'm tired of the looks of disbelief when I tell people I'm not interested in being set-up on dates with "a great guy I know" or the pitiful "You'll find someone sweetie" when I'm not searching for anyone. I'm thankful to God for the life he's blessed me with and how he's protected and provided for me throughout my lifetime, and it feels wonderful sleeping diagonally on my king size bed🤣🤣🤣. Being alone and being lonely are two totally different things. To the singles who are looking for someone to share love with and the ones who've found that love within themselves, blessings to you both.😊
I love this. Example of what I want in my husband, a purpose partner. This is beautiful. Doing things Gods way is best and worth it. I can’t wait but I can. 🙏🙏🙏
Listening to this episode makes me want to look introspectively to make sure I have truly submitted to my single season. I believe I have but it’s always good to do self checks. I will be praying that God search my heart and point out anything that is working against my submission and my calling. He’s been revealing so much to me lately! Every single episode on this podcast speaks into my life. ❤🙏🏾
I absolutely love this episode. It seems like they get better and better. This guy is annointed. You see it in his body language, his voice, his tone it's just Heavenly....Seeing someone of his age speak with this knowledge is so Heart warming...Thank you for this guest. It was Awesome.
It's very hard as an autistic person, to listen to just anyone ministering, I'm very blessed to of came across a anointed man of God that can get through the level I can understand it's like to ,I know this is God answer prayer finally I been in church all my life,im 45 now and being in family full time ministry ,still never could understand them , this season has changed my ability to comprehend , im so grateful 🙏❣️
Albaner, Thank you for being who God destined you to be. Your life story is so profound. I sit in church and listen to so many word carriers preach Sunday after Sunday to the saved. Who's speaking to the unsaved? Who's speaking to the next generation? I've seen some of your videos and they encouraged me. This podcast is a blessing to me. Loving God and being single is a journey of discovery and self-love daily.
I needed this episode I have been doubting and not trusting God like I should !! Thank you that this episode has reminded of all that God has done and the love he has for me whewww🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
When he said " I can't keep going back.." 😭 Such a sober gentlemen. You can tell that he has sat at the feet of wisdom and has been paying attention!👏🏾👏🏾 It is also very encouraging to hear someone talk about having struggles yet you can hear and dear I say discern that they've still been able to stand and overcome despite. To God be the glory for your life, God's work in you and through you. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I can really relate with him. I went thru this with my daughter at the time she was 13, she had a demon, but in the world the call it a nervous breakdown. All the issues that I was going thru in my life, the Devil used it against me by attacking my daughter. There is a bell just like there is a heaven. Thru my prayers and believe and other believers we defeated those demons. Thank you Jesus!!!!
This is good, I am a single woman who has been seeking Gods plans, purpose and my destiny in His Kingdom. It has been a long journey but April 2022 I finally started walking in my purpose and definitely in my Gods aligned destiny. Not only in my spritual walk but in my work place, relationships and church life where call my spiritual home and community. I know my spouse God has for me will find me already working in purpose, so I am content and truly trusting God in every process He is walking me in. My purpose husband is near and I believe God will release him when he is done with him, so we can both serve the Kingdom purpose God has for both of us. I am excited for what God has for me. Already looking forward to year 2023 and beyond get ready for me. Blessed and Undeserving but God loves me like every one else.
Whole ppl are attracted to whole people! I learned a hard lesson in allowing someone in my life who had nothing to lose. Spiritual warfare is real. Having a discerning community you can trust is so important.
Love this ep Al is such a great teacher I’ve been following him on Instagram for a while now. His calm, clear and humble way of communicating the gospel is just so beautiful. The way he lovingly teaches is incredible it’s done with grace it’s just what our generation needs. This is just the beginning 🙌🏾
When I tell you, I feel the anointing of God all throughout this episode, I mean I feel the anointing of God! Men of God, you all have preached without "preaching!" Aside from finding a purpose partner, this word, (truth) God's word needs to be delivered, unadulterated, and without compromise. The seed has surely been planted today. Now watch God increase. God's blessings on you all!
And another one….. Great conversation! This makes my heart so filled to hear 2 Black men discussing their journey with God. Waiting and listening to God is important, if not we end up situations not intended for our purpose. May God continue to bless you both 🙏🏾
Wednesdays are my favorite week day because I look forward to each new episode. I enjoy them all, I love most, and occasionally there are the ones that just hit me…. the ones where God is literally ministering to me through you and your guest!! THIS was one of those! I was weeping by the end and that’s when I know God has laid His hands on me through the message. I used these episodes as one of my sources of study to prepare me to be a wife. I met and have married the man I know God was preparing for me while also preparing me for him. I continue to watch so I never forget to appreciate the lessons or the journey through my singleness, and continue to absorb the lessons on always working on myself and keeping my marriage strong.
This was so good and when your Kingdom, your age doesn’t define your purpose, wisdom or understanding of what Jesus has for us to do. This you man has a wealth of wisdom that only The Holy Spirit could have give/shown him. There are older saints that don’t have this kind of wisdom. I was very blessed by this podcast.
I’m looking for the right words to share my heart, but I am overwhelmed in the Holy Spirit. All I can say to the host of this amazing show is THANK YOU. This was my very first episode and wow! A friend of mine called this morning and said to me “God told me you need to tune in to Dear Future Wifey.” I said what is that? (No disrespect) she went on telling me it’s a godly podcast about singleness and marriage and gave me instructions to subscribe and told me to pick an episode that spoke to me. I saw the title of this one and it resonated with me so I decided to watch it and here I am speechless. Mmm…To GOD be the glory forever Amen. 🙏🏾❤️
Wow, THIS IS THE ONE!!!!!!!!! This episode done did it. Jesus!!! Albaner is such a treasure to this generation wow! May God continue to cover him and elevate him!!!
Distractions! This was awesome. The things i would entertain i no longer. I am a wife waiting on God to bring my husband. I am intentional about who i spend my time with.. Another great episode 👏
I just finished the episode and whew! I knew Albaner was in his 20s! I can feel it. He is definitely wise. It did frustrate me that he didn’t make a lot of eye contact and wasn’t specific about those restrictions. I think there’s a power to calling something out, especially our struggles cuz it shows people they’re not alone.
Words cannot describe how anointed this particular episode was the fact that you invited this man to come onto the show and impart his experience coupled with God's wisdom, knowledge, and correction is indescribable I just pray that God will keep him close to his bosom all the days of his long life because he is what is needed for this generation. Although he is 26 and spoke with such Authority I'm reminded of the Biblical quote a child shall lead them.
I am so excited to see you go higher and higher in ministry! God is good and since He’s doing it for you, I trust He’s coming down my block. 🙌🏽 Thank you for being intentional about your guests selections. DFW viewer until the end!
😃😃 Another great one. Y’all got me excited when you started talking about the spiritual realm and demonic spirits. Yes that’s real! Thank you for talking about that and many many additional nuggets that resonate with me. Thank you Father 🙏🏾. I’m so grateful I was led to this channel. Congratulations on going viral. I just saw a video last night where you said you wanted to hit 19M and look at God. He showed up and showed out. Continue to be blessed. So happy for you.
I’m so grateful for my spiritual warfare and deliverance background not just apostolic and prophetic at 17 years old. My mentor made me start working the altar casting out demons only 6 months saved. So many in the body of Christ are scared, however, this is the first sign of the believer not speaking in tongues. Mark 16:17 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; counseling is great but some things need to be cast out. Free men- free men. God sets us free first and then gives us power and authority over those kingdoms. Love this!
You goooo!!! LATERRAS!! I've subscribed earlier this year and backed watched all of the episodes!! I've never gave you your flowers until now Laterras. I respect you so much!! So transparent!! I'm so proud of your progress. Because of this podcast I've healed more and Jesus seems to have a lot of us changing our minds and trajectory of what we thought we knew about anything and truly renewing us through Jesus Christ!! 🙌 I'm 36 Divorced, Single and I can say I am finally trusting in Christ leaning not on my own understanding and making faith moves. I've been at a church for 8 years and decided to listen and move where I can grow more. I've also been on my job for 15 years and currently am faith mode to finding better. I was nervous at first of the unknown but why.. I have Holy Spirit 24. 7 with my!! I'm listening to the voice of God more than ever and these episodes are truly blessing my life!! The comedy and all. Love it. Stay LIT ❤
Receiving from others demonstrates the importance of your gift. I have learned when people want to give you something, it’s their way of showing gratitude. 🔥🔥🔥
Currently at Dallas Theological Seminary pursuing a masters in counseling. So nice to hear he did the same. I’m asking God what He would like me to do next.
You are never too young to learn how to maneuver in relationships. I send these podcasts to my 19 year old daughter as stepping stones for her future. I told her last night I wish I had these available at her age.
it’s funny b/c very on in ministry I felt that way like I was the only young person living like this. (I’m 28 now but I was 20 when I decided to get serious about the lord.) I am the youngest person in my church so after I would teach bible study or sunday school I would go home alone and wish I had someone in my corner telling me that was good or even here’s what you should work on. im still single but god has filled that void w/ a hunger and thirst that makes me push towards the mark w/ fervor. Single and young ppl you are not alone and the great thing about seasons is they always change 🤣🤣
I agree there is excellence here in this podcast. Laterras this is your purpose for which you are fulfilling. I am blessed by this Podcast, may God continue to bless you 🙏🏽
Hi Laterras! Congrats on accepting and walking In your calling to the Ministry. Praying that God continues to use you in a mighty way for kingdom building!🙏🏾
My God! This was so needed for the body of christ. I just thank God that he allowed me to hear the words that he released through this pod cast. I watch Albaner alot lately. I just been following him for Maybe over a month. The anointing on his life is so magnified and it penetrates the heart of the people. I'm healing myself through the dear future wife podcast. So I'm just grateful that a work in me is being renewed praise God. I pray you continue to flourish and change the heart of the people Latteras! Thank you Lord 🙏🏽😊
God works in AMAZING ways. The day after the episode with Whitney aired, at about 9:30 am I showed my hairstylist that clip you posted on IG. She was so tickled she shared it throughout the day. By that afternoon it had 'blown up.' You assured Whitney at the beginning that the airing of the interview would be powerful. Well, well. Just continue listening to God and being obedient to His leading. You are blessed.
Deliverance… Thank you so much for focusing on deliverance in a portion of your interview, and explaining what that can look like. Deliverance ministry is needed in this time and the more we speak about it and demonstrate it the more people can be set free in Jesus mighty name. There is nothing to be ashamed about or feel guilty about when it comes to deliverance. I think most people need it because we are born in a world of sin.
Little kids love me, from babies to young adults. I always found it funny and wondered why because most of the time I'm not even acting friendly or bubbly with them but they just look and smile and come around me.
This made me think of the story of the alabaster box. Graciously articulated embodying love, sacrifice and service. Thank you Albaner for the reminder of 2 Timothy 2:4 and being a soldier for the Kingdom.
Submitting to the season is key. Single season is beautiful when you know it’s preparation season and not loneliness!
Exactly
That is so good.
Sometimes it is loneliness. Not everyone gets married.
@K A I agree.I just was saying sometimes its just preparatin for you becoming a better person and not necessarily a better mate. Because people don't want to realize that Gods will for you maybe be never married. It happens more time than people are willing to think.
Singleness is not always preparation for everyone. God does not call everyone to marriage. Many people are amazing single people of God doing incredible work for Jesus whom will never ever be married to anyone but Jesus
One thing about Albaner, he’s gonna “keep a long story short “.
God bless him, so much wisdom listening to him
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
When he said “ my rib hasn’t come”. Ugh my heart. A man of god 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know I started crying 🥹 and felt that in my spirit… way too many men want attention from so many women, our here pursuing worldly things.
My rib has not come so there is more to come stay tuned 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
POWERFUL
🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was so good. It’s funny that you mentioned this podcast is for older people. I’m 21, and my mother-who is relatively young (under 45), recommended this podcast to me. The stories, testimonies, and wisdom I’ve gotten from this podcast is unreal. Especially the strong, saved Black male demographic. As someone who didn’t grow up with saved Black men around me, I love it here. Respectfully, as a young person…this podcast is for ANY generation. There is much to learn. These are real conversations that I know I won’t find in a pulpit every Sunday.
OMG yes! Easily top 5 best episodes! And his reason for coming on (EXCELLENCE)! What a compliment to God and Laterras! THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOO GREAT! 😱🙌🏽 Just wow!
I’m 53 so maybe that’s true, lol. However, I share certain episodes with younger people I know. The funny part is, I’m no longer a churchgoer nor am I looking to be married again. But I absolutely love, love, relationships and marriage. For me it’s the non-judgemental, genuine approach. Laterras does just enough, asks the right questions but is also empathetic. He definitely keeps it LIT. 😊So yes, I do believe there’s something here for everyone
AAAAAAAAAAMEN, My 14yr old daughter watches this. A GOOD GOOD TOOL
Very well said.
You have spoken so much wisdom at 21
"God has so many instructions for me to prepare a place for her" ❤
If only… if only a lot of men thought this way… this podcast blessed me in so many ways… so much toxicity online… you know what to avoid.
This young man is what Christendom and the world needs. No pretense, no self-seeking, he knows his audience of One!
This young man is truly called by God, ALL his videos you just feel, see, hear wisdom, and the anointing!!! And his humbleness. AWESOME AWESOME PODCAST. PRAISE GOD
OMG yes! He's probably the most spiritually mature 26 yr old I've ever heard! SO much wisdom 🖤
Agreed!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m 23 and LOVE this podcast. And I’m so encouraged that there are actual MEN in my generation that love God and have a real relationship with him; that can lead and are preparing themselves for their “Rib”. Chile I’m encouraged because they DO exist😭🙌🏽✨ Forget money and status.. Baby can you lead and cover me spiritually and can you carry the MANTLE of being a husband?? Obviously a few understand the assignment! I see you God!!!!!
RIGHT
Right I’m 24 and I’m patiently waiting for my husband to find me. I love this episode
From the gate… Albaner speaks with so much humility, yet boldness. He never ceases to amaze me with his obedience and relationship with God.
“Your boasting point will always be that uou are my son”
My God!! The Lord has just solidified my position as a daughter! I felt that so deeply
I love Al's advice on creating "War Plans"
What time does the enemy come against me?
What people make me weak?
How does the enemy attack me?
What type of music, environment make me trip?
I am going to create my War Plans. This was so powerful to me!
This is being intentional in recognizing the enemy's schemes against me. Everyone will be tried.
Thank you Al.
This discussion was needed. I think if more people believed when it comes to the spiritual realm, we would see more “relationships” with God, not religion. My son is 27 and my daughter is 24. This young man is a blessing!
Yes he is Praise God Amen.
Thank you for exposing me to healthy men through your podcast. Something I never saw growing up. Regardless of having daddy issues, my choice of men being questionable in the past. I always believed that healed men existed and I get to see that through this podcast. Thank you
I cannot help but share your sentiments @Ana. I never thought the calibre of men this podcast has exposed me to actually existed. It is re-assuring and comforting to see the wonderful guests you have had and I find myself re-assessing and re-evaluating myself and my walk whenever I watch the podcast. @Laterras, this episode's letter spoke to me. I often wonder how many of us are willing and capable of loving others beyond and/or despite their flaws and shortcomings.
I agree..tbh I want to believe thatnthese men exist..regardless of not seeing any whilst growing up I have been confident that they are there until about 2 years ago. I am mostly convinced now that they don't with a small part of me still hoping that they do and that I will get to meet,learn, love and marry one handpicked and sent by God.
Well said! I concur!
This podcast helped me come back to Christ I stopped following his word for while and ran cross your couples interviews and since then I’ve been seeking his word again ever since ❤
Welcome Sis!! ❤😊
Praise God! Keep seeking God & stay focused. Its worth it 🙌🏾
Amen 🙌🏽🙏🏽
".....Seek ye/you first the Divine Holy Kingdom of Almighty GOD and all things shall be added unto you....."!!!
Amen!!🫶🏽🙏🏽
A servant’s heart is as quiet as a sleeping baby… yet, is loud as clashing thunder to other servants. Love the real talk on recognizing demons, walking in one’s calling, restrictions, straight up trusting God’s provision rather than logic…. While still doing the work under His obedience. This one right here… this son of God, this episode is a jewel… a seed. Powerful. 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! This was one of the best episodes ever! I love Albener’s quiet and gentle spirit. He increased my confidence in my single season. I get tired of explaining to people that I’m working on God’s purpose. It’s sad that’s an uncommon thing now. Thank you both men of God! Such a beautiful interview
That brother is deep. Came across his page very recently and am amazed at the poise and serenity he possesses when he speaks. May the Lord continue to bless His ministry 🙏🏾🙏🏾
1:06:41 "That season is over, come over here." ~ Laterras
1:12:41 "Whole people are attracted to whole people." ~ Albaner
For me this season is called being made whole. Thank you for allowing God to use you as vessels for healing. Stay blessed. ❤
YES! I screen recorded both as well!
@@GoodLifeLena Explosive stuff! 💣
Just from listening a couple of dear future wifey podcasts my thought structure has changed radically. I concluded that God knows us. Like those deepest desires we cannot talk about because of being afraid of judgement and being seen as arrogant. You know from watching these podcasts I'm learning to embrace my singleness and understanding that everyone has their own journey. I've learnt not to compare my journey to anyone's else. Sometimes I thought I was unrealistic with my prayers but this stuff has just answered me that Nope I'm normal. And I've made a conscious decision that I am not going to settle for less when I know God has more.
I second this!! Would like to supplement it with Jeremiah 29:11. 🙏🏽
"God is being faithful to himself."
"Your will. Your bill."
21:18 there was another section that spoke to me before I started listening to this podcast. I heard God tell me its time to be more serious. I know what hes called me to do and I too have been running. Some of my personal problem is not wanting to be looked at like I think im better than others because when I do start walking in my purpose some of that will come where my loved ones or co workers will think that. But I cant worry about that anymore. Because when you are in position there is a certain authority you walk with. I believe its his anointing!
“I see where I’m going because I see where I am sowing!” Speak, sir!
They haven’t seen anything yet because my rib hasn’t come…..that was powerful! The marriage is ministry! Thank you for this. Both great examples of Black Men doing the WORK!
I’m having an issue at my church, I have asking to lead a singles Christian group now for over 7 years. He asked me to write a proposal and then i had to asked what’s going with me leading the group? He said he was looking for someone to lead the group. This singles group is not a hook up group. It’s singles learning to do single life according to the Bible. We don’t have community where we connect or have a voice. We go to church to and leave. After church I never hear from anyone. I go to church on WednesdayS AND Sundays to all strangers. I love my church! I love my Pastor. I need more and God’s calling me to more. I need a church and Pastor to push & midwife me into all what God’s has called me to. I feel tolerated instead of being celebrating. God HELP ME! PLEASE AGREE WITH ME THAT I WILL BE OBEDIENT TO THE VOICE AND DIRECTIONS OF THE LORD. THANKS
This episode was so rich. The spiritual maturity, depth, humility, and transparency is rare.
Gentlemen.
You're wives, purpose partners, lovers, loves, girlfriends, sweethearts, babies, baes or whatever you'll call her - are where they are right now, where they need to be, cheering U on as U go forth & prosper while they're going forth & prospering in their own space. The divine collision, connection will happen at the right time & it'll be uncomplicated. They're running, while you're running & as U connect, y'all will just start running together 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💞
I’m a year late for this episode but it was right on time! This was such a great conversation that HAD to be had. Thank you God for using Albaner and Laterras to get this message out there! 🙏🏾💚
I did not know how much I needed to watch this episode. God knows exactly what He's doing.
Thank you so much, I needed this. In a season where everyone’s wondering why my wife is… there are options but not the right ones… God has been whispering patience in my ears for a while now. He told me “no compromises, just patience. “ 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m at this phase currently and I’m creating a box and every time I’m having a moment about my single season I’m going to right it down and surrender it to God and put it in the box. I think singleness feels this way because of Society and especially when you add kids in the mix. I pray love finds us all sooner than later ❤
i used to look forward waiting on my weekly podcasts: In the light by Dr Anita Philips, 30min with the Perrys and the homecoming by Dr Thema but Sir Laterras🤭...... When I discovered your podcast 1 year ago, the more I listen the more I get excited for the next one and guess what, now if the notification from Dear Future wifey pops up, my face is all lighten up with a big smile. You're a game changer and thank you for being YOU at the service of others and God. Bless your heart.😇
To God be the glory
Same!
I feel the same way! Always excited to see the next episode
Listen, I'm 26 and South African. He's been Uncle 'Terry to me for nearly 2 years. This here is home,where else must we get groomed though😭 .Beloved generation ,heaven is truly on our side , this(sanctuary over here) is one such marker!
He referenced community a lot. It’s sooooooo important. True community, friendship will hold you accountable. He’s right sometimes accountability does not always feel good but it’s good for you.
I'm very content and satisfied with Christ in my single season. If there's frustration then it might mean you're not fulfilling the purpose God has for you .I'm content cause I'm operating in my purpose and serving others .
Essentially that’s everyone’s purpose- to serve and to spread the love of God. 🥰
That's a word!!!
frustrationg also will come from just being tired u can be still walking in your purpose.
@@Rashaadthegr8 right ✅️
I’m in a Season where God is requiring me to ask him for what I desire in a mate. He is also requiring more of me (discipline, mind, body and spirit). I asked him to take the desire for companionship, love and relationship overall away. He hasn’t. He is requiring me to work through this and also my elevate my ‘comfortable’ faith. I’m growing; learning so much in this season
You reap what you sow
“I see where I’m going cause I see where I’m sowing!” BOOM 💥
That’s Powerful Right There!!!👏
This young man is so spirit-filled. Continue to order his steps and cover him, Lord.
Dear future wifey is not only fathering young men, its fathering, brothering, wing-maning, and teaching young ladies too, we are also learning how to do relationships right. Thank you Latteras. It is very very important what we choose to listen to and to have older examples, there are lessons, that we need to learn Titus 2:1-5. Really liked the revelation that a man looking for a wife he should get involved with the ministry so he can understand the relationship between Christ and the church and how he loves the church.
Im 23 years old and I am praying that God will allow me and my husband someday to be on your podcast because I am learning sooo much from these videos . I watch 2 videos a day because they so good . Even my conversations are so different because of this podcast . May God bless you!
I am so moved by this session. I have run away from my assignment so many times because I didn't want to be on the pulpit and it's always been the realness of God's that that has moved me to submit to His will. It's His constant and consistent love that has become an anchor and strength.
I threw my phone so many times listening to this. My goodness! It was fireeee. I feel stronger in my walk already. God Bless the both of you 🙏🏽
Pl😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣yas
His demeanor warms my heart but makes me sad🥺 he’s so powerful and intentional in his content but his body language is so shy.
I have to be honest being single for a while it’s difficult. Being 30 I find myself thinking about it almost all the time. I’m a believer and I know that god works in mysterious ways and things happen at his appointed time. I just don’t know how to be patient.
I feel your pain you are not alone in this. Im 32 and still trying to be patient as well.. All my friends and siblings are married and have a family. It makes me feel left out and behind but i just got to be patient and wait on the Lord who knows whats best and when the best timing is. Be encouraged
This hit home and I can resonate with everything! But I feel sick because it’s frustrating to not fully be able to trust people around me.
Laterras! OMG! Jesus! This Podcast was so much meat and revelation knowledge to me for I am a 56 year old single female Pastor. The wisdom that came from this 26 year old MOG gives me hope! As you were submitting yourself to your new Pastor the Lord was showing me that you were reestablishing his order of Men as Christ being their head. Women and children want to respect and honor the Man in their life but if he is not submitted to anyone we feel unsafe Spiritually,physically and emotionally. Even though I am a Pastor men that I have met have Church hurt and don't trust Church or Pastors. Thank you so very much for your Transparency and allowing your testimony and transformation to be Glorified through Christ Jesus our Lord. I pray The Holy Spirit will continue to use you and Bless you 🙏🏼💝🙌🏽💯Amen!!!
Singleness is often treated like a disease that has to be managed until a cure is found. Wanting to be married and spiritually connected with someone is beautiful...but so is finding peace and happiness with being single. I'm tired of the looks of disbelief when I tell people I'm not interested in being set-up on dates with "a great guy I know" or the pitiful "You'll find someone sweetie" when I'm not searching for anyone. I'm thankful to God for the life he's blessed me with and how he's protected and provided for me throughout my lifetime, and it feels wonderful sleeping diagonally on my king size bed🤣🤣🤣. Being alone and being lonely are two totally different things. To the singles who are looking for someone to share love with and the ones who've found that love within themselves, blessings to you both.😊
I love this. Example of what I want in my husband, a purpose partner. This is beautiful. Doing things Gods way is best and worth it. I can’t wait but I can. 🙏🙏🙏
Me too! He’s so special
@@Kekes1941 yasss 🙌
Listening to this episode makes me want to look introspectively to make sure I have truly submitted to my single season. I believe I have but it’s always good to do self checks. I will be praying that God search my heart and point out anything that is working against my submission and my calling. He’s been revealing so much to me lately!
Every single episode on this podcast speaks into my life. ❤🙏🏾
I absolutely love this episode. It seems like they get better and better. This guy is annointed. You see it in his body language, his voice, his tone it's just Heavenly....Seeing someone of his age speak with this knowledge is so Heart warming...Thank you for this guest. It was Awesome.
It's very hard as an autistic person, to listen to just anyone ministering, I'm very blessed to of came across a anointed man of God that can get through the level I can understand it's like to ,I know this is God answer prayer finally I been in church all my life,im 45 now and being in family full time ministry ,still never could understand them , this season has changed my ability to comprehend , im so grateful 🙏❣️
Albaner, Thank you for being who God destined you to be. Your life story is so profound. I sit in church and listen to so many word carriers preach Sunday after Sunday to the saved. Who's speaking to the unsaved? Who's speaking to the next generation? I've seen some of your videos and they encouraged me.
This podcast is a blessing to me. Loving God and being single is a journey of discovery and self-love daily.
I needed this episode I have been doubting and not trusting God like I should !! Thank you that this episode has reminded of all that God has done and the love he has for me whewww🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
When he said " I can't keep going back.." 😭
Such a sober gentlemen. You can tell that he has sat at the feet of wisdom and has been paying attention!👏🏾👏🏾
It is also very encouraging to hear someone talk about having struggles yet you can hear and dear I say discern that they've still been able to stand and overcome despite. To God be the glory for your life, God's work in you and through you. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
This meeting was absolutely DIVINE!
I WISH THE GUEST WOULD 🗣️ INTO THE 🎤. I HATE NOT BEING ABLE TO HEAR WHEN U HAVE A MICROPHONE.
I can really relate with him. I went thru this with my daughter at the time she was 13, she had a demon, but in the world the call it a nervous breakdown. All the issues that I was going thru in my life, the Devil used it against me by attacking my daughter. There is a bell just like there is a heaven. Thru my prayers and believe and other believers we defeated those demons. Thank you Jesus!!!!
This is good, I am a single woman who has been seeking Gods plans, purpose and
my destiny in His Kingdom. It has been a long journey but April 2022 I finally started walking in my purpose and definitely in my Gods aligned destiny. Not only in my spritual walk but in my work place, relationships and church life where call my spiritual home and community. I know my spouse God has for me will find me already working in purpose, so I am content and truly trusting God in every process He is walking me in. My purpose husband is near and I believe God will release him when he is done with him, so we can both serve the Kingdom purpose God has for both of us. I am excited for what God has for me. Already looking forward to year 2023 and beyond get ready for me. Blessed and Undeserving but God loves me like every one else.
Whole ppl are attracted to whole people! I learned a hard lesson in allowing someone in my life who had nothing to lose. Spiritual warfare is real. Having a discerning community you can trust is so important.
Wow this young man is POWERFUL!!!! Whew when he finds his wife they will be a FORCE together. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’m 23 and this BLESSED ME!!!!! So encouraging to see other young men on this faith walk ‼️
I LOVE this young man ❤ Have your way in his life, Holy Spirit 🔥🔥🔥
Love this ep Al is such a great teacher I’ve been following him on Instagram for a while now. His calm, clear and humble way of communicating the gospel is just so beautiful. The way he lovingly teaches is incredible it’s done with grace it’s just what our generation needs. This is just the beginning 🙌🏾
I love how he could care less about the hype or going viral. Just doing the work ❤
Loved it.
I loved the way he talked about having a wife❤️.
This Son of God just understands and gets it. This is awesome, to GOD be the glory. So encouraging to see and hear.
When I tell you, I feel the anointing of God all throughout this episode, I mean I feel the anointing of God! Men of God, you all have preached without "preaching!" Aside from finding a purpose partner, this word, (truth) God's word needs to be delivered, unadulterated, and without compromise. The seed has surely been planted today. Now watch God increase. God's blessings on you all!
Praise God Amen
And another one….. Great conversation! This makes my heart so filled to hear 2 Black men discussing their journey with God. Waiting and listening to God is important, if not we end up situations not intended for our purpose. May God continue to bless you both 🙏🏾
Wednesdays are my favorite week day because I look forward to each new episode. I enjoy them all, I love most, and occasionally there are the ones that just hit me…. the ones where God is literally ministering to me through you and your guest!! THIS was one of those! I was weeping by the end and that’s when I know God has laid His hands on me through the message. I used these episodes as one of my sources of study to prepare me to be a wife. I met and have married the man I know God was preparing for me while also preparing me for him. I continue to watch so I never forget to appreciate the lessons or the journey through my singleness, and continue to absorb the lessons on always working on myself and keeping my marriage strong.
I'm a seasoned rib. Just waiting and marinating.💍💍 Working on my relationship with God.
This was so good and when your Kingdom, your age doesn’t define your purpose, wisdom or understanding of what Jesus has for us to do. This you man has a wealth of wisdom that only The Holy Spirit could have give/shown him. There are older saints that don’t have this kind of wisdom. I was very blessed by this podcast.
I’m looking for the right words to share my heart, but I am overwhelmed in the Holy Spirit. All I can say to the host of this amazing show is THANK YOU. This was my very first episode and wow! A friend of mine called this morning and said to me “God told me you need to tune in to Dear Future Wifey.” I said what is that? (No disrespect) she went on telling me it’s a godly podcast about singleness and marriage and gave me instructions to subscribe and told me to pick an episode that spoke to me. I saw the title of this one and it resonated with me so I decided to watch it and here I am speechless. Mmm…To GOD be the glory forever Amen. 🙏🏾❤️
Wow, THIS IS THE ONE!!!!!!!!! This episode done did it. Jesus!!! Albaner is such a treasure to this generation wow! May God continue to cover him and elevate him!!!
Distractions! This was awesome. The things i would entertain i no longer. I am a wife waiting on God to bring my husband. I am intentional about who i spend my time with.. Another great episode 👏
I love,love,love Albaner! I thank God for him🙌 .....his obedience to the Word ... unmatched!
This podcast has no age limit. God has elevated it to a new level. God's continued blessings🙏🏽
I just finished the episode and whew! I knew Albaner was in his 20s! I can feel it. He is definitely wise. It did frustrate me that he didn’t make a lot of eye contact and wasn’t specific about those restrictions. I think there’s a power to calling something out, especially our struggles cuz it shows people they’re not alone.
Words cannot describe how anointed this particular episode was the fact that you invited this man to come onto the show and impart his experience coupled with God's wisdom, knowledge, and correction is indescribable I just pray that God will keep him close to his bosom all the days of his long life because he is what is needed for this generation. Although he is 26 and spoke with such Authority I'm reminded of the Biblical quote a child shall lead them.
I am so excited to see you go higher and higher in ministry! God is good and since He’s doing it for you, I trust He’s coming down my block. 🙌🏽 Thank you for being intentional about your guests selections. DFW viewer until the end!
I struggled as a single lady pastoring a church. Submission to the season is key. It's hard, but it's what carries one on
My favorite podcast is on 🤗🤗.. so ready for this... the title alone got my full attention 👀🤔👀
Same here
This young man is very wise. It's so wonderful seeing young people walking in the will of God! Definitely sending this to my nephew!
😃😃 Another great one. Y’all got me excited when you started talking about the spiritual realm and demonic spirits. Yes that’s real! Thank you for talking about that and many many additional nuggets that resonate with me. Thank you Father 🙏🏾. I’m so grateful I was led to this channel. Congratulations on going viral. I just saw a video last night where you said you wanted to hit 19M and look at God. He showed up and showed out. Continue to be blessed. So happy for you.
I’m so grateful for my spiritual warfare and deliverance background not just apostolic and prophetic at 17 years old. My mentor made me start working the altar casting out demons only 6 months saved. So many in the body of Christ are scared, however, this is the first sign of the believer not speaking in tongues. Mark 16:17
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; counseling is great but some things need to be cast out. Free men- free men. God sets us free first and then gives us power and authority over those kingdoms. Love this!
You goooo!!! LATERRAS!!
I've subscribed earlier this year and backed watched all of the episodes!! I've never gave you your flowers until now Laterras. I respect you so much!! So transparent!! I'm so proud of your progress.
Because of this podcast I've healed more and Jesus seems to have a lot of us changing our minds and trajectory of what we thought we knew about anything and truly renewing us through Jesus Christ!! 🙌
I'm 36 Divorced, Single and I can say I am finally trusting in Christ leaning not on my own understanding and making faith moves. I've been at a church for 8 years and decided to listen and move where I can grow more. I've also been on my job for 15 years and currently am faith mode to finding better. I was nervous at first of the unknown but why.. I have Holy Spirit 24. 7 with my!! I'm listening to the voice of God more than ever and these episodes are truly blessing my life!! The comedy and all. Love it. Stay LIT ❤
Receiving from others demonstrates the importance of your gift. I have learned when people want to give you something, it’s their way of showing gratitude. 🔥🔥🔥
Currently at Dallas Theological Seminary pursuing a masters in counseling. So nice to hear he did the same. I’m asking God what He would like me to do next.
You are never too young to learn how to maneuver in relationships. I send these podcasts to my 19 year old daughter as stepping stones for her future. I told her last night I wish I had these available at her age.
This is sooooooo awesome!!! I am so proud to see a young man standing up for and loving God the way that he does! Awesome and powerful!!
This was so beautiful! We have to trust God in our singleness because His plans are GREATER ❤️
This young man is popping up on my timeline for a reason
I love hearing him drop them jewels 💎🙏🏾
I like the path that he said people are tired of hearing the gospel , they want to see the demonstration of the gospel. I totally agree a 💯
Can you possibly do a show shedding the light on singleness, holiness, and being a single parent. So many many many people count us out 😢
it’s funny b/c very on in ministry I felt that way like I was the only young person living like this. (I’m 28 now but I was 20 when I decided to get serious about the lord.) I am the youngest person in my church so after I would teach bible study or sunday school I would go home alone and wish I had someone in my corner telling me that was good or even here’s what you should work on. im still single but god has filled that void w/ a hunger and thirst that makes me push towards the mark w/ fervor. Single and young ppl you are not alone and the great thing about seasons is they always change 🤣🤣
I agree there is excellence here in this podcast. Laterras this is your purpose for which you are fulfilling. I am blessed by this Podcast, may God continue to bless you 🙏🏽
All that happened because you gave God one yes and submitted to authority and joined a church. That was such a blessing to see .🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This helped me today. I’m going through right now. This has brought understanding what God wants for us. Hallelujah for an awesome podcast
Hi Laterras! Congrats on accepting and walking In your calling to the Ministry. Praying that God continues to use you in a mighty way for kingdom building!🙏🏾
My God! This was so needed for the body of christ. I just thank God that he allowed me to hear the words that he released through this pod cast. I watch Albaner alot lately. I just been following him for Maybe over a month. The anointing on his life is so magnified and it penetrates the heart of the people. I'm healing myself through the dear future wife podcast. So I'm just grateful that a work in me is being renewed praise God. I pray you continue to flourish and change the heart of the people Latteras! Thank you Lord 🙏🏽😊
God works in AMAZING ways. The day after the episode with Whitney aired, at about 9:30 am I showed my hairstylist that clip you posted on IG. She was so tickled she shared it throughout the day. By that afternoon it had 'blown up.' You assured Whitney at the beginning that the airing of the interview would be powerful. Well, well. Just continue listening to God and being obedient to His leading. You are blessed.
Deliverance…
Thank you so much for focusing on deliverance in a portion of your interview, and explaining what that can look like.
Deliverance ministry is needed in this time and the more we speak about it and demonstrate it the more people can be set free in Jesus mighty name.
There is nothing to be ashamed about or feel guilty about when it comes to deliverance. I think most people need it because we are born in a world of sin.
Little kids love me, from babies to young adults. I always found it funny and wondered why because most of the time I'm not even acting friendly or bubbly with them but they just look and smile and come around me.
This made me think of the story of the alabaster box. Graciously articulated embodying love, sacrifice and service. Thank you Albaner for the reminder of
2 Timothy 2:4 and being a soldier for the Kingdom.
