Appointed Time by Dalia

Many point to 1 Corinthians 7 to say that singleness is a gift and that it’s better not to marry. But is that really what Paul is saying? In this episode, I walk through the passage for myself—looking closely at the language and context—and what I found challenged what I had always heard. This chapter isn’t elevating singleness—it’s addressing fornication, self-control, and the proper place for se...

Something has been shifting in my understanding of faith— not away from the promises of God, but deeper into the One who fulfilled them. For years, I focused on how to receive healing, how to step into promises, how to obtain what God had spoken. But recently, I’ve been confronted with this question: What have I been doing with my faith? In this episode, I share what it means to return to the foun...

today is good friday. the word good is first mentioned in Genesis 1:4, when God saw the light, that it was good… later, Jesus would declare, “I am the light of the world.” and on this day 2,000 years ago, Jesus said, “it is finished.” yet for three hours, darkness covered the whole earth. it looked like the light had been overcome— that darkness had won. but darkness didn’t know… there was a third...

“Be fruitful and multiply.” This was the first blessing God ever spoke — and it is still the blessing He intends for His people today. In this episode, I share how Deuteronomy 28 confronted my life and exposed the symptoms of the curse that I was still living under, even as a born-again believer. I take you through my journey back to Genesis, where the blessing begins, and into Galatians 3, where...

In this episode, I walk through a revelation that changed the way I see myself. When Jesus said, “Thy will be done in earth ,” He was speaking of us — the ground where His Word is planted (Matthew 6:10). We explore how seedtime and harvest work spiritually, why some ground becomes desolate, and what Scripture teaches about tending, guarding, watering, and preparing the heart so it can bear fruit....

In this episode, I walk through Isaiah 32 — a chapter my Bible titles “Desolation is Foretold.” Desolation means alone… loneliness. But loneliness does not have to be our final outcome. Isaiah 32 reveals a prophetic pattern: desolation, devastation — and then divine reversal. Everything changes at one word: until. “Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high…” I trace this pouring throughout S...

For years, I carried quiet questions in my heart: “Am I single because I made marriage an idol?”  Maybe you’ve wondered the same thing. In this raw and deeply scriptural episode, I share the journey few talk about — the wilderness of singleness, the silence of God, and the sting of watching others move into marriage even when they weren’t doing things “the right way.” I revisit the familiar accusa...

In this episode, I talk about what it truly means to build —to frame, construct, and raise a life that God Himself can dwell in. The word “build” traces back to “dwell,” and that connection brought me into the book of Haggai, where God confronted His people for living in finished houses while His house lay in ruins. I share how a statement from my pastor years ago shook me: a farmer doesn’t keep s...

In the last episode, we talked about the Holy Spirit as the well of living water within every believer. In this episode, we continue that thread by looking at what Scripture teaches about prophecy — something directly tied to the Holy Spirit who now lives in us. I walk through Acts 1–2, where the Holy Spirit was poured out, and how tongues and prophecy appeared together. From there, we look at wha...

In this episode, I share a very real moment of sadness—one stirred by a weekend surrounded by reminders of what I’m still waiting for: marriage, family, companionship. After leaving a birthday gathering feeling discouraged, and then unexpectedly running into someone whose life had moved forward in all the ways mine hadn’t, I found myself sitting in that ache. But the word “come” had already been o...

In this episode, I walk through the pattern of Scripture where women met their future husbands at water wells. Rebekah met Abraham’s servant at a well. Rachel met Jacob at a well. Zipporah met Moses at a well. Even in the New Testament, we see a woman at a well in John 4—and the conversation turns to husbands. But Jesus revealed something deeper: He wasn’t talking about physical water, but living...

This opening episode marks the beginning of Appointed Time —a chapter rooted in Scripture that explores the seasons God uses to prepare His people for what He has promised. In the Bible, the wilderness is not punishment. It is a place of separation, refinement, and encounter—where faith is tested, obedience is formed, and dependence on God is established. Long before fulfillment comes, God often l...

In this episode, I share how my understanding of “the one” shifted—not because of culture, opinion, or wishful thinking, but because of Scripture. For years, I was told to choose: choose someone, choose anyone, because “that’s why God gave us free will.” I didn’t have Bible verses that said otherwise, so I never expressed my hope that there could be one —not multiple options, not endless soulmates...

This episode marks an Ebenezer—a stone of remembrance. Dalia is a podcast told in chapters, with each chapter representing a season of the journey God is writing. Between chapters, special Ebenezer episodes are set apart to pause, remember, and testify to the Lord’s faithfulness. In this first Ebenezer, I share why the podcast has been rebranded from One Proposal to Dalia , and how One Proposal no...

Listen to the Podcast to learn how I wrote the Vision of Marriage: I wrote the book “ One Proposal – 60 day devotional while waiting on the on to marry ” I started the One Proposal Podcast, where I explained and made plain the scriptures  I sought out of God’s book for a...

Today’s topic is how do you know if he's the one?  Throughout my life, at different times, I've asked different people, both men and women who have found their person and then marriage, "how did they know that the person was “the one” for them?" And more often that not, the response without fail was “Oh you just know!” You’ll know, that you know that you know that you know that...

How often have you questioned where are all the good quality men? I once subscribed to the notion that there weren't any good ones left, especially when I reached my 30s and I was still unwed. It seemed like more and more the good ones were already taken. As a Christian it became even more challenging when the lack of quality single Christian men were slim pickings in the church and they were...
