What if the most dangerous lies in your life aren’t coming from TikTok or culture—but from your own mirror? In this episode, we unpack the identity battles that keep people stuck: the quiet scripts that say you’re not enough, you’ve failed too much, or you’ll never have a “real” marriage. We contrast those lies with biblical truth—Psalm 139, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:10—and we share a simple, practical exercise our singles group used to replace lies with truth you can carry daily.

We also tackle the cultural headwinds making connection harder than ever: younger adults increasingly calling marriage “outdated,” stagnating marriage rates and declining divorce rates that still mask deep disconnection, and the loneliness epidemic reshaping how we date, commit, and stay married. 

Along the way, we name the modern trends—“checklist dating,” viral “icks,” and algorithm-fed expectations—that leave people chronically disappointed and relationally cautious, then offer a better path: identity first, covenant next, habits always. 

If you’ve ever thought, “I still love my spouse, but I feel alone,” or if you’re single and wondering who you are before you date again—this one’s for you. Expect vulnerable stories, Scripture, and hard-won hope, plus a 2-minute “index card” challenge that can change your week.
