When we say "Apostolic culture," what do we mean, and how is it related to doctrine? In this episode, we start the process of unpacking where our doctrine and culture overlap, and sometimes even collide, in our daily practices. Also, it's Steven and Megan's 10 year anniversary! On this episode, they share some special messages from their wedding guests (that they've never even read before).

The dating landscape can feel bleak, especially given the challenges of the gender disparity in the church. But these challenges don't surprise God. In this short solo episode, Megan offers a brief devotional to encourage you that God has a plan to restore, even when the odds are against you.

In this vulnerable episode, Steven and Megan open up about the highs and lows they're experiencing as they wrap up their third year of Synchrony work. Don't worry-- there are still plenty of laughs, some singing, and even an exciting new commitment that Megan did not expect to make on this recording.

We spend a lot of time supporting adults who have found the dating landscape to be full of challenges, but how can we support the young adults who are just stepping into the dating pool for the first time? In this episode, Steven and Megan sit down with Young Adult Pastors Kevin and Stephanie Quiñones, whose passion for teaching young people to win at relationships led them to implement an Intentional Friendship framework for dating. If you are a young adult, youth leader, Pastor, or Hyphen leader, this episode will provide you with some excellent tools to test in your own churches. While this episode isn't explicitly targeted to unmarried Apostolics who have experienced extended singleness, there are plenty of nuggets of wisdom to glean in this episode for you, too.

We've spent a lot of time talking about why conferences and church events rarely make great dating arenas, but we haven't offered many alternatives. In this episode, Megan and Steven unpack their wish list of events and activities that they think could actually be healthy places to meet and mingle with potential dating partners. Maybe this will inspire someone!

Have you ever ended a relationship because you just didn't "feel peace?" As Apostolics, we use the idea of "peace" as an indicator of divine approval--but should we? In this episode, Megan and Steven discuss what "peace that passes all understanding" is in the context of the New Testament, and what it does (and does not) teach us about feeling peace in our dating relationships.

Steven is out sick this week, so Megan is stepping in to answer some questions that men have raised in all corners of the internet about how women think, feel, and act. Think of this as an honest (and over-caffeinated) chat with your big sister. Let us know what you think we got wrong!

All of us have been in dating interactions where we wish we could understand what was going through the other person's head. Unfortunately, none of us were born psychic, so we have to use words. In this episode, Steven and Megan discuss the stumbling blocks that arise when one person feels the other person withdraw, how you can avoid sabotaging a relationship in a fragile state, and how to handle the tough conversations that will bring you clarity.
