Don't cry cause it's over, smile cause it happened. It’s the last episode of season 6 and while you're fighting back tears, let us lift your head and remind you once more that you're not the center of the universe, God is. Couldn't think of a better way to end our season together.

Dating questions? If you want answers, you could watch an episode of The Bachelor (is that still a thing?) and just do the opposite of everything you see OR you could tune into today's show.

We love having our podcast partners join us live for each podcast recording! And after we recorded the Five Principles of Dating, they had a lot of great questions. So, we put together this episode from our ‘after the recording’ discussion ❤️ 

Here’s the book we recommended: Single, Dating, Engaged, Married: Navigating Life and Love in the Modern Age by Ben Stuart (that’s an affiliated link!)

Today, we’re giving you 🖐️ ways to date with God at the center!

1. Date with purpose.
2. Date with clarity.
3. Date with priority.
4. Date with purity.
5. Date in community.

Hold our Little Debbie, we're going all in on food. It's no secret that our culture has A LOT to say about how we eat. But it may surprise you that the Bible has a lot to say as well. If you've ever wrestled with the issue of food, if you've felt like you can't get your eating under control, if you wanna know how the Lordship of Jesus fits into this whole thing, today's episode is for you!  

The Short Story: We all have to eat food. It’s literally baked into our everyday lives 😋 Our society is big on eating correctly from a scientific standpoint. But should we be aware of moral standards concerning our eating?

What if God cares about how, when, and what you eat? How do you eat with God at the center?

1 Cor 10:31 "Therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

Application questions:

• What is the purpose of food? Is there more than just one purpose?
• Are you eating food for spiritual hunger or physical hunger? Are you eating for any other reason than hunger?
• How can you be physically hungry but spiritually satisfied at the same time?
• How has this conversation pushed you to think outside of your comfort zone?
• We challenge you to write down one takeaway from this episode on a note card and put it in your pantry. Take a pic and share it on social media. Tag us so we can see it!
• Choose one of the verses from above and dedicate some time to memorizing it.

Some cheery news: Your sin is worse than you thought. More than an offense to others, the Bible teaches that every sin (even the hidden ones we don't think hurt anyone) is an assault against God Himself. How is this cheery?? 🤔 Cause as we'll see, though we're far worse off than we thought, our God is far more gracious than we could imagine. Praise Him!!

In past episodes, we've looked at how God saves people. But have you ever asked the question why? Why is God in the business of saving? Is it to give folks the gift of heaven? Can He simply not help Himself? Or is there something even more wonderful going on? Here's a hint...the answer's in the title. Join us today as we discover how God is the center of everything, including our salvation.
