    Inside the Community of an Aspiring Good Guy (Daniel)

    #126: Being around good, godly men can change how you view guys and relationships. Knowing that good guys exist can influence the type of guy you’re interested in and help you WAIT for that type of guy!



    In this episode, you get to meet Daniel. He's a single guy working in Houston, and he's sharing how community has been a game-changer for him. He opens up about the accountability, ministry, and friendships, he's found in community.

    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!

    How Modesty Won Me Over

    How Modesty Won Me Over

    #122: We know modesty can be a struggle. What exactly is modesty? What does modesty look like? Why would a girl want to be modest?

    To answer your questions, we thought it would be helpful to discuss modesty with a young woman who recently started dressing modestly. Chanyng studied dance at the University of Arizona and joined Kim and Jena on this episode for a candid discussion.

    Realities of a Spiritually Mismatched Marriage

    #121: You've been single a long time. The guy who is paying attention to you isn't following Christ. You know you aren’t on the same page spiritually, but he's really cute and fun. You wonder if you could be a good influence on him. Singleness has worn you down, and it’s tempting to think that if the two of you got married, it wouldn’t be such a big deal. 

    Well, we get it, and we are here for you. It’s important to understand the challenges a marriage faces when a couple isn’t on the same page spiritually, and that’s what we are talking about today!

    Clark is a pastor, and he's seen the struggles of these spiritually "mismatched" marriages. His wife Pam joins us for a realistic look at what marriage is like when one is following Christ and one isn't.
