Thriving in the Space Between

When Discernment Becomes Self-Protection | MINI Episode 132


Listen Later

What if the thing keeping you stuck in dating isn't a lack of clarity but a fear of getting hurt?

In this mini episode, Meghan explores a struggle many single women face: when healthy discernment quietly turns into self-protection.

If you've ever found yourself overanalyzing, waiting for perfect peace, or avoiding vulnerability in the name of being "wise," this conversation is for you.

Discover the difference between discerning God's invitation and letting fear keep you stuck.

Meghan shares how the desire to avoid pain can unintentionally keep us from the very connection we're longing for and why sometimes the next faithful step is all we're being asked to take.

Because sometimes the next step—not perfect certainty—is where God meets us.

If dating has felt exhausting, disappointing, or overwhelming, this episode offers a compassionate invitation to trade certainty for trust, curiosity, and courage.
