    Summer Series: Boundaries

    Summer Series: Boundaries

    Welcome to our SUMMER SERIES, where we are reposting our favorite episodes!



    This week's episode is one of Adrienne's top three. It's the episode where she and her husband Dave talked about boundaries (#28). We often mention boundaries on the podcast, and Adrienne and Dave have some great insights.



    They discuss the boundaries they set while they were dating so they could honor God in their relationship. They open up about their experience and the decisions they made, how they stuck to them, and why. We hope through their openess and honesty, you'll gain some good insights and practical ideas so that you can decide how you will honor God in your dating relationships.



    We don't want you to miss this episode!

    How Are Things With Your Parents?

    How Are Things With Your Parents?

    #123: Things aren’t as they should be. We live in a broken world, and because of that, families experience broken patterns of relating to each other. Parents are broken. Children are broken. 



    It’s wise for single women to resolve some of these broken patterns of relating with parents and change what they can before they repeat the broken patterns they’ve experienced. That’s the conversation we are starting today.



    Kim is joined by her friend Jess, who shares some surprising insights from Moses' life. Who knew that Moses could be such an encouragement as we work toward healthy relationships?



    Doing what we can to have healthy family relationships allows us to invest in ourselves and in our future marriage– it’s kinda like loving your husband before you even have one!
