Trusting God vs. Taking Control
Today on the podcast, I talk with Faith from Georgia!
She’s 37 and single so she really wants to know how to know when you are trusting God with your dating life — versus when you are taking control of the situation yourself.
Do you have to sit back and wait for things to happen, or can you take initiative?
And what if you are a woman, where does that leave you in the equation of making a dating relationship happen – considering some people think it’s wrong for a woman to take an initiative.
We talked about what waiting on God actually means and what it doesn’t mean… And how to be proactive with your love life in the meantime!!
It’s an episode every single who is wanting to date should listen to!!!!

Single With Married Friends & Struggling
Today on the podcast, I talk with Lauryn, who is struggling with navigating friendships in this season of singleness.
She’s single, but all her friends are married… and she can sometimes feel a bit out of place. She feels as though some of her relationships are becoming unbalanced and she called in looking for some advice.
We dug a little deeper into her relationship history, and found out that unbalanced relationships aren’t as new as she thought they were … they are just a little more prominent in this season.
I encouraged her to take ownership of her role in relationships, addressing and communicating her needs… and learning to bring balance to her relationships. The most interesting thing about our conversation is what it revealed about her (tune in to find out!)
I think this is an important conversation for everyone to listen to, especially if you’ve ever felt the lack of balance in your closest friendships.

Am I Healed Enough To Date?
Today on Talk To Me hotline, I talk to Andrew from Texas! His question is, “How do you know you are healed after a past relationship?”
After a 16 year marriage ended in divorce, he’s wondering how to know when he has healed…
And even more specifically, when is it time to consider dating again after divorce?
I answer him by explaining that it’s a complicated question, because everyone’s situation is so different… But if I narrow it down to one thing that I believe differentiates those who are healed from those who are unhealed.
What’s that one thing you ask? That’s why you’ve got to tune into this podcast episode, I think it will help you change your perspective no matter what type of relationship you are trying to heal from in your past. We are talking about healing from past relationships today on Talk To Me!

I’m An Emotional Over-Reactor
Today I talk to Ann from Maryland, who struggles with emotionally overreacting.
Due to some prior hurts and past relationships, she finds herself triggered by situations that probably have more to do with her past than they do with her present. She’s having a hard time not overreacting in situations of conflict, and wants to figure out why as well as how to react and respond appropriately.
She is afraid to push people away due to her emotional reactions, and she called into the hotline to get some help!
I help her navigate some of these triggers, and learn to react in emotionally healthy ways instead… It’s a really insightful conversation! If you’ve ever felt triggered in conflict, you need to listen to this episode!

Customer Reviews
Best podcast!
I love listening to Debra Fileta. I first heard her on Focus on the Family. I read both of her books and now listen to her podcast. I also let others know so they can enjoy it as well. She has such a gift of getting to the real issues and helping people recognize it for themselves. And putting a Christian perspective on everything makes it that much better!

Thank you so much for this podcast! 🤍🤍🤍
