Episode 42: Flirting with Fire — Why You Need to Stop Leading Them On

This episode is a continuation of our conversation on discernment, integrity, and emotional maturity in relationships.

In Flirting with Fire, Lindsay speaks directly about a behavior that often goes unnamed — entertaining attention without intention. Whether married, engaged, dating, or single, many women unintentionally lead men on through ongoing conversations, emotional availability, or ambiguity that creates false hope.

This episode is not about shame or insecurity. It’s about responsibility, boundaries, and honoring God with how we steward attention and access.

If you’ve ever found yourself enjoying attention you had no intention of honoring — or unsure where kindness crosses into confusion — this conversation will bring clarity.
