We grew up hearing we should pray for our husbands. There are entire books and journals around it. But what has it actually looked like?
This week, we're unpacking what it's looked like for us to...
Toe the line between praying for marriage and idolizing it.Ask boldly for something that was Godâs ideaTrust that God's not waiting for you to get married before healing your loneliness, fear, or pain.If youâve ever wondered: âIs it okay to want marriage this much?â or âWhat do I pray while I wait?â - this one's for you!

As Christians, we can get really fixated on finding someone with the same âcalling.â
But how much does that actually matter?
In this episode, we talk about the balance between making your calling too big of a deal and not making it a deal at all. If someoneâs dream is to live overseas and yours isnât, thatâs probably a no-go. But weâve also seen people (and been people) who take this idea to an extreme that it doesnât need to go.
We dig into how our Christian culture talks about calling, how thatâs shaped the way we date, and how much pressure is too much pressure in this area.

What happens when youâve convinced yourself youâre content being single⊠then realize maybe youâre not?
In this episode, our friend Kate (37) opens up about her story of coming to the Lord, spending 10 years on the mission field, and getting really honest with herself about her desire to be married.
We talk through...
âPride that can come from being singleâTransparency vs. VulnerabilityâLetting God meet you in the tension between contentment and longing for more -
In a 2024 survey, 50% of people said they're single and not looking for a relationship.
Meanwhile, in the church, marriage and family are talked about all the time. Marriage even feels elevated as the godliest relationship status sometimes.
As three people who are not married and have been single in the church for most of our lives, we wanted to weigh in on the question:
Is the church doing enough to serve single people? Or is it failing this growing population of people?
Tune in to find out.

Youâll walk away with practical encouragement for naming your insecurities, handling them with honesty, and leaning into the only source of security that never runs out.

It's easy to feel like marriage is the goal, especially in the church. In reality, marriage is just one way Jesus helps us reach the ultimate goal, which is looking more like Him.

How far is too far? What counts as crossing a line? Where should we draw physical boundaries in dating?
If youâve ever asked those questions (or heard them a thousand times in youth group), youâre not alone. But maybe thereâs a better question:
Whatâs your goal and how are you going to get there?
In this episode, weâre talking about how physical boundaries arenât about following a bunch of rules or dating with fear, but theyâre about building trust and laying a solid foundation for a strong, connected marriage.
Weâre bringing Abram Goff on the podcast to share some practical wisdom on what it actually looks like to pursue physical integrity in a relationship and why it goes way beyond just ânot having sex before marriage.â
We talk about:
- Long distance dating
- Why âhow far is too far?â might be the wrong question
- How building trust starts way before the wedding day

Letâs talk about The List. This is the mental (or literal) checklist of things we want in the person we marry. In this episode, weâre unpacking our old lists and asking questions like:
- What are the most unrealistic or ridiculous things weâve had on our lists?
- What happens when someone checks every box⊠but still isnât the one?
- What does our list say about what we value or fear?
- Now that weâre dating in our 30s, what would we tell young people about making a list?
Whether you have 3 non-negotiables or a full-on spreadsheet, this oneâs for you.

For centuries, philosophers and theologians have been wrestling with the question: âIf thereâs a good God, why do people suffer?â Or the classic: âWhy do bad things happen to good people?â
Weâre not here to tie this episode up with a pretty bow. Weâre sitting in the tension of believing in a good God and experiencing grief.
We talk about what itâs like to walk through grief, how to be there for people who are hurting (without saying all the wrong things), and why comfort doesnât always come in answers.
Whether youâre in a hard season or walking alongside someone who is, we hope this conversation makes you feel a little less alone.
