What happens when someone tells you, "God told me to leave"?

In this episode of The Exit Interview, David Shands sits down with entrepreneur Corey for one of the most honest conversations about love, faith, and heartbreak you'll hear.

Corey opens up about falling in love, practicing celibacy, breaking that commitment, and the unexpected breakup that followed. He shares how his ex claimed God told her they shouldn't be together, only for her to be in another relationship shortly after and eventually get married.
The conversation goes far beyond the breakup. David challenges Corey to confront his own blind spots, emotional availability, accountability, communication, and what it really means to become the partner you're searching for.
They also dive into modern dating, church relationships, financial compatibility, waiting until marriage, dating standards, self awareness, and the difficult questions most people avoid asking.
If you've ever wondered whether relationships end because of timing, personal growth, faith, or something deeper, this episode will make you think.
Watch until the end as Corey shares exactly what he's looking for in a future wife and what he's realized he still needs to improve about himself.
