What if Adventure

Relationships can be defined by the world, the Church or the Word.

In this episode we go back to the Word and examine several relationships including those of Songs of Solomon, Ruth, Isaac and Rebekah plus many more as we seek to establish what picture it paints of relationships before marriage.

So grab your Bible and everything you've ben taught about dating and relationship and shine the light upon what has become the mirkwood of young Christian life.

This is part one of a two part series on what a Godly relationship looks like.

Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may be able to test and know what is His good, acceptable and perfect will. - Romans 12:2

Why do we date? Why get into a relationship? 

From when we are in our teen year and even before we get into dating relationships. Today we ask what the point of getting into one is. 

The heart of a man or woman is a precious thing may we be able to cherish and honour that.

She wears short skirts, I wear ...

We learn comparison from a young age. Or maybe we are born with it in our flawed nature. In this episode we dismantle the lies that lead to resentment in relationships

Also we  unpack two truths that we can hold as sold and shield to keep our identity and to stand in our relationships.

Let's have fun, shall we?

Everyday we wake up and are stuffed full by messages that are spewed through every media channel. Between radio programmes, social media or television our expectations are cemented and affirmed everyday.

In this episode we consider how to sift what we see and hear through the word of God.

Verses included:

1. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. - Proverbs 4:23 NIV

2. You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. -Isaiah 26:3 NKJV

3. Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds that you may not what is his good and perfect will - Romans 12:2

4. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. For the word of God is alive and powerful. - Hebrews 4:12

If my voice was shaking in this one, it's because it hit close to home. Fear can cause us to fail to get into relationships even with all the green flags being present. That dread that sears the stomach after the butterflies.

So today we talk about the giant FEAR

We share things to keep in mind and verses to take to heart.

I heard you were looking for me...tihihi. Happy mid year. How's the going? 

Relationship really do be something out here. I just had to come back by the grace of God to unpack them. Let this be a place where we learn unlearn and grow in dating relationships. C'mon you've notice too the pressure to "court for marriage" not saying it's wrong just not for e'rybody, especially in this country.

I know I promised. I failed. Really sorry/

Yet it wasn't for nothing, or boredom. There's purpose to it for God's glory.

Another year that the Lord has made. Another season here at the What If Adventure.

In this season we get to explore the more besmirched subjects in our culture...WEDDINGS!!!

So many people think them an unnecessary evil, others an absolute must. We ask if they really are what they are all they are hyped to be. If they are what in them is actually necessary. 

Join us as we explore according to the Bible. Learn along with us.

Recapping the year in relationships and a happy new year. 

See you then

In the past week or two, we talked about waiting. We continue in this growth series remembering the truths from the waiting season and how they pour forth into the next new season.

p.s I know I said "been in a leader" instead of "been in a leadership position". It was just hilarious in editing I didn't take it out.
