Introduction: I Found you When No One Else Did! (Ezekiel 16)

About this episode

This episode explores the complexities of loving someone through their struggles and the changes that come with healing and growth in relationships.

“I Found You When No One Else Did” -Based on Book of Ezekiel 16:4–6 In this powerful episode of It’s Been a Journey , we explore what it truly means to love someone from their broken beginnings—without holding them hostage to their past. Drawing from Ezekiel 16, this conversation unpacks how many relationships start in seasons of struggle, but are tested in seasons of growth. What happens when the person you helped build… no longer needs you the same way? Can love survive when healing changes the dynamic? And are you in love with who they are—or who they used to be? This episode challenges us to examine the difference between loving someone in their struggle versus honoring them in their growth. It speaks directly to couples, marriages, and anyone navigating relationships where healing, change, and emotional maturity are required. If you’ve ever loved—or been loved—at your lowest, this message will meet you right where you are. -Join us May 4, 2026 @ 7PM CST for our upcoming live episode: “Take the Bandage Off, Sis” featuring Jovie Wilkerson Because covering wounds… doesn’t mean they’re healed. #ItsBeenAJourney #FaithAndLove #RelationshipHealing #Ezekiel16 #MarriageGrowth
