🎙️ Where to Listen & Watch
Episode Summary
In this episode, Derek and Jordan unpack one of the most overlooked seasons in marriage restoration — the season of becoming. Many spouses misinterpret distance as punishment rather than preparation, assuming God’s silence means abandonment instead of alignment. Through prophetic teaching and Scripture, they reveal how God uses separation to consecrate, mature, and reintroduce you to His original design.
Derek warns that many are missing their season of assignment because their hearts are still hardened — trapped in timelines, lies, expectations, and compensations that replace true surrender. This episode explores how God uses “becoming” to rescue you from chaos, restore innocence, and rebuild your identity before the marriage ever restores.
Jordan joins to share how God stripped their version of “normal” to rebuild everything from the ground up — emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Together, they outline three areas of preparation that determine whether your next season bears fruit or destruction: emotions, relationships, and intercession.
It closes with a sobering reminder: what you fail to prepare for in private will be exposed in public. The season of becoming is not punishment — it’s mercy.

⚠️ Key Takeaways
-
You are on assignment. The distance you feel is not delay—it’s divine development.
-
Becoming protects you from chaos. The Hebrew word for “death” means “when chaos is complete.”
-
You can build a new life and still miss your purpose. Anything created outside your assignment will eventually collapse.
-
Preparation is mercy. God strips false normals to rebuild purity, order, and truth.
-
You can’t move in authority with ungoverned emotions. Emotional immaturity always manifests as spiritual instability.
-
You take back authority before the moment comes. Prepare your spirit in advance of the enemy’s attacks.
-
Not every relationship belongs in your next season. Discern between covenant, seasonal, and prophetic relationships before you miss your breakthrough.
-
Prayer does something; intercession becomes something. God is inviting you to represent His mercy, not perform religion.
-
Repentance restores innocence. The Lord is not just rebuilding marriages—He’s rebuilding the people inside them.
-
The season of becoming will either prepare you or expose you. The choice between fruit or destruction is determined by obedience, not emotion.
