#5: Dating (Purpose and Expectations)

In today's episode we tackle the wide world of dating. It's so wide we had to do two episodes and even then there's still so much to talk about. As married women now, we take a look at what dating was for us and how it could be for Christians. The four of us dated differently and that's ok! We all have our ideals and convictions that lead us to speak on the subject, but none of us claim to have THE answer in how to date biblically. We would all agree Christ Jesus must not be ignored and should dictate what parameters to set. It is wisdom issues such as these that make dialogue and encouragement among church women so vital to growth in every area of our lives. Hope you pass it along to your church family.

    This was so refreshing to hear! Sometimes I tend to loose sight of the purpose of dating and go through the motions not considering the purpose which is marriage and putting God in the center of it all. Thank you for your willingness to open up and giving biblical input! This was much needed.

#67: Confession and Vulnerability *LIVE*

Kinship LIVE! In August, Bethany Baptist Church had its first women's conference . It was a joy to be present among women that wanted to be open and kill sin so that they aren't overtaken by it. We did our first live episode in front of a live audience. Also, we had more than two listeners!
