    1D AGO

    Ep. 99 What Does "Financially Ready" for Marriage Mean?

    We have advised people that they shouldn't date until they're financially ready to be married. But does that mean having an income sizeable to sustain a middle-class American family and a house with a picket fence? Or can two people with some debt and average incomes be ready to start life together? In this episode, Megan and Steven break down why 'financially ready' might not be as complicated as it's been made out to be. They also make several pit stops to talk about one of Steven's favorite financial candy sticks.  Interested in matchmaking?

    Ep. 98 AI Relationships Are the New Drug

    TW: Suicide, Self-harm, Mental Illness AI technology is become more normal in all areas of life, including our personal relationships. Some people are now using AI agents as substitutes for humans in their romantic relationships, and we see a future where AI becomes the teacher, and maybe the proxy, for how people fall in love. Should the church be ok with that? Is this the way lonely people can 'manage' their singleness? In this episode, Steven and Megan explore this controversial topic and discuss why it's so important for our relationships to remain human, against all odds.  Videos referenced in this podcast (credit to their original creators):She Has an A.I.  Boyfriend.

    Ep. 97 Is Your Relationship Moving Too Fast?

    When a relationship begins, it can be hard to know if the pacing is 'normal,' or 'healthy,' especially since non-Christian relationships seem to last forever before progressing to the next milestone. In this episode, Megan and Steven talk about speed in dating timelines, and when it can be safe vs. when it's likely to create a dangerous breakdown. Interested in matchmaking?

    Ep. 94 How Long Will You Wait to Be Matched?

    One question that we regularly hear from new clients is "How long will it take?" The answer, like most things with matchmaking, is a bit complicated, but in this episode Megan and Steven dive into the data from 12 "success story" couples to illustrate how quickly (or, how not so quickly) you can expect to meet someone when you join the pipeline.  Shoutout to Markelle for her amazing "Nailed It"/Judges 4 shirt design!

    Ep. 93 Online Dating Only Works with Grace

    Is the internet poisoning your ability to find real connection? If you're using Facebook, dating apps, or other online platforms to search for a spouse, you may be falling prey to one of the most deadly dating diseases plaguing Apostolic dating culture. The antidote? Grace--given liberally, repeatedly, unequivocally. In this episode, Megan and Steven unpack some of the ways social media is eroding our ability to create a healthy dating culture, and how we can fix it.  P.S.-- Megan knows that she was wrong about that scripture reference; it's 2:Thessalonians 2:11. :)  Interested in matchmaking?
