Ellie invited her boyfriend on the podcast to talk about their relationship and the challenges of Dating After Divorce after only dating a few months. Cute or crazy? You decide! Austin Collins has been on the podcast before and shared his story of healing from divorce.

Jumping back into dating after divorce can be really hard. You may be asking yourself, "how do I know when I'm ready?" In this episode, Ellie Herringshaw and Mark Herringshaw try to tackle that question. There is no one-size-fits-all solution here, but asking the Lord if you're ready can be the best question to ask!
