    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

    #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.

    What advice do they have for single girls?

    Tips for Navigating Dating Apps

    Tips for Navigating Dating Apps

    #119: In this episode, Clary joins us to discuss a long-awaited and often-requested topic--dating apps! Clary met her husband on a dating app, and she's sharing her best tips for navigating them.

    Christians seem to be on both sides of the argument for and against dating apps, and there are valid points on each side.  We aren’t going to tell you that you should or shouldn’t use them. It’s a personal decision, and we hope you'll seek godly counsel around you for your specific situation.

    The reality is that dating apps most likely aren’t going away anytime soon, so we’re discussing how best to use them if you choose to.

So amazing!

From loving the book to now this podcast.. I’ve been able to look at things differently and have scripture to back up my decision making and take notes on what to look for and what to change. Im very thankful for this podcast 🤍

This Podcast Changed My Life!

I started listening to your podcast last week and it has been a game changer! It has taught me so much about trusting the Lord. It had made me laugh, convicted me, encouraged me and pointed me back to Jesus! I am a single girl currently living in North Africa as a homeschool teacher and as I watch my friends get married this podcast is such an encouragement. I am so thankful to have this resource as I pursue God while I am single!
