Biblical Relationships: Embracing God's Plan Over Fantasies | The Missing Rib Podcast

Welcome to The Missing Rib Podcast with Angelica and Ali! In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of biblical relationships and discuss how modern dating practices often set us up for failure rather than success in marriage. We explore the dangers of fantasizing about our future partners, how it can lead to disappointment, and the importance of aligning our relationship expectations with God's plan for us. We'll also talk about how to identify the true fruits of the Spirit in potential partners, ensuring that our relationships are rooted in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Join us as we dissect these topics and more, with an exciting announcement about our upcoming Women's of the Bible series!
