Dating as a Christian can be exhausting— especially when you’ve done everything “right,” but are still waiting on prayers that seem to have gone unheard. 

Christian Bevere joins Ellen to talk honestly about dating as a Christian with prayer, peace, and discernment. They explore how to wait actively without idolizing marriage, how prayer shapes you in singleness, and how to seek God’s will in relationships without fear or striving.

Whether you’re feeling hopeful, weary, or somewhere in between, this episode will remind you that your life isn’t on hold, and God is still at work.

What if staying with Jesus isn’t about feeling more—but remembering better? 

Worship leader, songwriter, and Christian music producer Andrew Osenga shares his story of staying with Jesus through seasons of disillusionment, church hurt, and spiritual burnout. When faith felt thin and friends were leaving the church, Andrew discovered something unexpected: hymns, liturgy, and written prayers that carried his faith when feelings and words ran out.

If you’ve ever:

• Loved Jesus but struggled with church
• Felt burned out, distracted, or spiritually numb
• Sat down to pray and didn’t know what to say
• Wondered how to stay with Jesus for the long haul

this conversation is for you.

What the woman at the well teaches us about shame, belonging, and grace.

Ellen and Taylor dive into the powerful story of the woman at the well, unpacking how Jesus meets us right in our loneliness, shame, and longing for validation. Together, they explore why the need to belong is so deeply human, how rejection truly hurts, and how Christ offers living water that fully satisfies. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, feeling unseen, or wondering if your past disqualifies you from God’s love, this conversation will remind you that Jesus sees your heart—and He invites you into freedom, healing, and true acceptance.
