Valentine’s season is here, and if you’re single, you might be wondering: Am I actually ready for a relationship?

In this episode, we’re bringing in the whole Moral Revolution team to dive deep into this question!

We’ll unpack the non-negotiables you need before pursuing a relationship, the biggest signs that you might not be ready yet, and how healing, self-awareness, and God’s timing all play a role in healthy dating.

Plus, we’re tackling listener-submitted questions like:
 Can I date while healing from sexual trauma?
 

What’s a normal level of thinking about my ex before I go on more dates?

Why do I feel so much anxiety about dating, and what can I do about it?

Whether you’re single and unsure, healing from past relationships, or just want to date with wisdom, this conversation is for you!

 BONUS: We created a free quiz called “Am I Actually Ready for a Relationship?”  that will help you figure out where you stand.

Have you ever crossed a physical boundary in your relationship and then found things feeling… weird?

Maybe you’ve been there—things start out great, but then suddenly you’re arguing more, second-guessing everything, or feeling distant. What’s up with that?

In this episode, we’re breaking it all down: why crossing physical boundaries in dating can mess with your emotions, your connection with each other, and even your relationship with God. We’ll talk about how physical intimacy bonds you in ways you might not realize, why it can make trust and respect harder to build, and how to avoid that awkward “what now?” feeling.

We’ll also share practical tips for healing, setting better boundaries, and getting back on track if things have gotten complicated. You’re not too far gone—there’s always hope for a fresh start.
