Dr. John Deloney

I am a family ministries youth pastor at a local church in our community. Awesome.

We were very open about all of these types of things, and her family is a Dave Ramsey family. I mean, she's known these things her whole life, and mine was not. I did not have these principles taught to me growing up. So when I asked her dad, who is also our pastor at our church, so I go to him. He's also your boss. Yeah, it's also my boss. He's your boss. Oh, man, that's a double dip.

So I go and I go ask him for his blessing. And it was a conditional one that we do premarital counseling and take FPU before we got married. So we decided to do that. And it was life changing. And we sat down and got on the same page on everything. And as soon as we said, I do, we just went gazelle intensity.

Oh, not at all. Not at all.

Oh, not at all. Not at all.

Oh, not at all. Not at all.

I think we both agree with this, but we wanted to do everything the Lord's way. And I think one of the things that FPU and everything y'all have built here, everything points back to Scripture. Everything points back to, hey, you know, we don't want to be slave to the lender. So for me, that was what it was. I'm going to do everything the Lord's way. We're going to do everything the Lord's way.

And he'll honor that. So, yeah. Yeah.

And he'll honor that. So, yeah. Yeah.

And he'll honor that. So, yeah. Yeah.

We locked in. Biblically too. I mean, when you get married, you become one flesh. So for us, everything then is combined. We are one together. And I think when you have that mentality, again, when you're going about everything the Lord's way, it all just makes sense. It does.

I would say for the young, soon-to-be-married couple or the young couple that's about to start life together, when it comes to wanting to be debt-free, the freedom that you can feel knowing that there's nothing holding you back anymore. The world's just going to keep getting tougher and tougher. Finding abilities to be a homeowner one day is just going to continue to get tougher and tougher.
