51: Ravi Zacharias Update, Love Actually and More!
We start 2021 off with a letter from our mailbag, personal news, and a look at the recent report from Miller & Martin regarding the firm's investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Ravi Zacharias. The news is bad. Do Christians like Tim Tebow, Louie Giglio, and Christine Caine who publicly said #thankyouRavi owe his victims an apology? We also look back at the heartwarming Christmas movie Love, Actually to see if it holds up, actually.

55: Galentines and the Celebration of Friendship in a Romance World
February the month of love! Why is it though that both the broader culture and church culture tries to funnel us toward romantic love as the only expression of love there is? We want to celebrate Galentines today (and may we suggest, Guy-entines?!), and celebrate the reasons why our friendships are worth the investment. We explore why it might be tricky in our highly online, disconnected world, and we examine how to maintain friendships while dating or after marriage.
We also open up the mailbag and have another segment with Dr. Celeste Holbrook answering a sex question at the end.

Customer Reviews
Transformational
This podcast has been so transformational for me over the last 2+ years in discovering how purity culture has impacted my life and taking steps toward a healthier sexuality. Plus Jess and Devi are the best hosts! Bravo!
The healing I needed
I love how this addresses important topics in the church while retaining a bit of hope. I definitely almost went atheist and then I found this podcast! :)
Informative & Insightful
I have loved WDWGFH for about 2 years now. Devi and Jess have brought so much information and their interviews with guests are incredibly insightful. This is a safe place where one can examine and even reconsider long held values and beliefs.I loved their podcast so much I became a Patreon member.
