Becoming the One Podcast

We have a very special mini-series inside the Becoming the One Podcast, and we're kicking it off with today's episode: "Lie #1 About Being Whole." Welcome! We're so happy to have you joining us! 

Over the next 4 weeks, we're going to dive into the 4 biggest misconceptions about what it means to be "whole." This is something we've seen both within and without the Church, and we want to equip you with the truth around wholeness — both for your current self, and your future marriage. 

Tune in to hear from today's hosts, Director of Programs Amanda Ross and Director of Content Sophie Sturdevant, as they tackle this first big lie.

So, there's something we need to talk about. It's the idea that wholeness = perfection, and the only way that we can ever have healthy, life-giving marriages is to come into them whole (or perfect). 

And this is a total lie. We're seeing more and more — both in and out of the Church — an unrealistic expectation around wholeness. Welcome to a mini series called The 4 Biggest Lies About Being Whole. 

Over the next month, we're going to be breaking down these lies that are causing harm to us, regardless of our relationship statuses. Because, the thing is, it's so good for us to get healthy, work on our shortcomings, and walk purposefully before we ever get married...but we're still human. And we'll only ever see perfection — or ultimate, total wholeness — on the other side of heaven.

Welcome to the final episode of Season 2 of the Becoming the One Podcast! Today, we have special guest host Sophie Sturdevant, our director of content and communications, on with us to break down some of our team's favorite moments, and big themes, from each of our 10 episodes this season. 

From our fist guest speaker (Jules the Explorer!) to our second (Susie Miller!), to some of our most-shared episodes yet (like the "Top 3 Reasons You're Still Single" and the sneaky symptoms of serial monogamy), this season was a blast. We laughed, we cried...and we can't wait for more. 

Which brings us to the latter half of this episode: everything you can expect next! We have our most exciting season yet, dropping in two weeks, and although we can't give you *all* the details, we can give you a little sneak peek, just as a "thanks for joining us on this journey."

Have you been asking yourself things like, "If I'm in quarantine, how am I EVER going to meet somebody? It was hard enough before?!" 

Or "This season makes me feel stagnant. Can I even fulfill my purpose like God wants me to right now — or am I stuck here?" 

Then those are some great questions. But, thankfully, we have a wise WORD from our host for this week's episode, Jamal Miller, here to discuss the HIDDEN blessing in a season of relational isolation (which, to be transparent, is an existing video from late 2019, but MORE RELEVANT than ever, thanks to COVID). 

Tune in to hear from Jamal about why isolation — though challenging, stretching, and just plain HARD — is actually a huge (but hidden) blessing. Because there's more than meets the eye...and GOD is still working. Amen?

Have you ever looked around and thought, "Dang. Everybody AND their momma is in a relationship...why am I still single?" 

Firstly, you're not alone. We get asked this question ALL the time, from people in every age group, from every background, and from all around the world. Of course, maybe God is still preparing you (or your spouse) for the benefit of your (future) marriage, but there are 3 reasons you probably haven't considered...

Tune in to this week's episode of the Becoming the One Podcast to discover more from our host and founder of The One University, Jamal Miller! This is a throwback — one of our most-watched YouTube videos of all time, but remains as relevant as ever.

Think that counseling is only for "other" people? Have you ever considered that it might actually be crucial to YOUR personal development? Regardless of your childhood, your story, your past...counseling could very well be the missing piece to your growth and maturity. 

But, of course, it comes with a stigma. *Especially* in the Church. Why? 

Welcome to this week's episode of the Becoming the One Podcast, with beloved guest speaker Susie Miller! Our host Natasha, alongside Susie, break down the stigma around counseling, life coaching, mentorship, and the like, as well as why seeing a professional is actually a necessity for some seasons of your life.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Becoming the One Podcast, and this week, hosts Jamal & Natasha Miller are tackling...

The "S" WORD! And nope, it's not what you think (if you were thinking "sex"). We're talking about SUBMISSION in marriage. Now, we know this is a tough subject, both inside and outside the church — "submission" has a lot of heavy, and very negative, connotations, that have played into skewed relationship dynamics. 

Tune in to hear from this powerhouse couple, and founders of The One University, about their take on submission. You'll walk away from this episode with a greater understanding of this biblical term, and with a healthier perspective on what submission according to the Bible truly means.

Alright, fam! We KNOW this message is coming at you at just the right time. As we look forward to breaking free from quarantine and isolation, may we suggest planning a trip? 

You don't need a significant other to make the most out of travel. In fact, you don't need to plan around anyone to travel well...take a cue from today's episode of the Becoming the One Podcast featuring our FIRST EVER guest travel expert, Juliette Bush, also known as Jules the Explorer! 

She's coming in hot with tips and (safe) strategies to travel well as a single. If you're wondering where to go, what to plan for, and how to make sure you travel solo safely, this episode is for you. 

Be sure to join our Facebook group if you want more of this on a weekly basis, and be sure to go follow Jules on Instagram here! 

Serial monogamy is an interesting topic, especially in the church. Often assumed to be "innocent," serial monogamy is the act of moving from one serious relationship to the next. If you or someone you know always has a boo thing...you *might* be a serial monogamist. 

Why is this harmful? What prompts us to go from one relationship to the next? What are the implications? And how do we grow out of serial monogamy (and step into healing, freedom, confidence, and healthy relationships for LIFE)? We want to help you get there, based on personal experience...because we know that learning how to be content in your singleness is a must in order to be content in marriage.

What's up Becoming the One family! Welcome to episode 3 of season 2, in which hosts Jamal & Natasha Miller are discussing the WHY behind having married friends. Yep, as a single person. 

It's deeper than just surrounding yourself with like-minded people and believers. We need to pursue friendships with people in varying stages of our life — so we can glean from, or teach, and always point each other back to Jesus. 

This episode is for singles, of course. BUT it's also for our married couples (because, couples, the singles need your wisdom, encouragement, and friendship). This is the Church. This is humanity.
