Summary

Ever wondered if you're sabotaging your own love story? In this raw and revealing episode, host Laterras R. Whitfield sits down with Johanna King, a woman whose journey from nightclub bottle service to street evangelist showcases the transformative power of faith and self-discovery.

Johanna candidly shares her experiences with heartbreak, including a whirlwind 19-day engagement that ended in chaos, and her pattern of friend-zoning the very man who might be her husband. Through tears and laughter, she reveals how past trauma, including two abortions, shaped her approach to relationships and how God's healing power allowed her to break destructive patterns.

## Timestamps and Key Takeaways:
- **7:05** - Johanna opens up about her abortion experiences and how faith helped her heal from trauma
- **15:30** - The red flags she ignored in a previous relationship, including unhealthy boundaries with an ex
- **22:15** - Her 19-day engagement disaster and the importance of proper relationship order
- **32:40** - The pattern of returning to a "sweet" man she wasn't initially attracted to
- **39:25** - How street evangelism became her ministry and passion
- **43:18** - The growth of attraction in her current relationship and learning to value character over status

This episode is a masterclass in discernment, showing how we often chase what's toxic while friend-zoning what's healthy. Johanna's story reminds us that sometimes what we think we want isn't what God knows we need.

0:00.0	Or you're the type of woman that when you date somebody, you automatically assume that's your husband?
0:04.3	Yeah.
0:04.8	Not anymore, but I used to do that for a while.
0:07.3	Well, to do a future wife's podcast, Johanna King. What's going on? What's up? Thank you for having me. Can we go there? Yeah. All right. So you were writing scriptures with this gentleman. Yeah. On the four by fours in the house, on the walls of the house.
0:19.3	To the world, it looked like this was your husband, fiancé.
0:23.8	What happened with that relationship? Chaos and destruction. It was bad. I'm going to pull a Latteras move. Just show the ring next time. Don't show the face. Coin that as the Latter's move. When you look back from a discerning spirit, what did you miss? The thing that I was
0:38.6	concerned about in the very beginning is what ended our relationship that I ignored. Which was what?
0:43.3	Too close with the baby mama. It was my first co-parenting relationship. I had no idea what
0:48.0	two expects. He considered her family, I guess, like they had the same DoorDash account. But I was
0:52.7	trying to be understanding. Where did the understanding cease? Do you ever look back and say, I should have been married by now?

1:06.8	I don't believe in save. Say from what? So let me tell you my testimony.
1:11.1	Before coming to Christ, I had two abortions.

1:16.1	There was nothing that could take away that shame until I met Jesus.
1:19.5	What made you share that story?
1:21.2	Because the enemy is overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony.
1:26.4	Hey, y'all, God is good, y'all. Hold on. Oh, my. So you tell them you ain't scared to just walk up the total strange is why they inebriated and they start challenging them with faith. No. I think the Lord just gave me a type of boldness to do it. How do you reconcile in your mind why you haven't met your husband yet?
1:45.8	Well, I think I may.
1:46.6	I may have.
