Episode 06: Do you feel spiritually stagnant and stuck? Do you find it hard to connect with God on a deeper level? Today's faith convo, is a vulnerable episode where one of my best friends and sisters in Christ, Meagan Mwanda, and I share a spiritual life update, our experience navigating spiritual dry seasons, and how to create a healthy, loving, and biblically accurate view of God, shedding off mindsets and beliefs based in legalism, spiritual groupthink and comparison.

“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” - ‭John 14:4-5

What do Christian men really think about relationships, emotions, and more? Today's dating and relationship convo is an unedited, unfiltered group discussion in which women asked Christian men for their thoughts on all things faith, emotional wellness, dating and relationships, and more.

Why does dating as a Christian feel so hard and confusing? How do I deal with being sent mixed signals? Why are no guys pursuing me? How do I overcome the fear of rejection? If you've asked yourself any of these questions, this episode is for you!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
