More Than the American Dream Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

#34: Tiffany's parents immigrated to the US from Vietnam to pursue the "American Dream." During her college years, Tiffany found herself craving more than the American Dream had to offer. Her pursuit led her to real purpose, and it changed everything about her life.

Today, Tiffany works as a cardiac nurse, teaches first year nursing students, and attends grad school. However, she says her main priorities in life are to help others start a relationship with Christ and to help younger women grow in their faith.

Tiffany challenges us to live for more than just the American Dream -- to live our life to expand God's Kingdom, not just our own kingdom. We know you will be inspired by the wisdom she has to share!

#28: God's word is clear that as followers of Christ we need to avoid sexual immorality and guard our hearts, but we often struggle with the specifics of what it should look like in a dating relationship. How do you navigate getting closer to someone physically, emotionally, and spiritually without going too far? What if you’ve already gone too far? Does every breakup need to end in heartbreak? Setting boundaries will help you answer these questions and navigate these challenges, but how does a girl do that?

We've received a few questions/requests from our listeners about setting boundaries in dating, and we are here for it! In this episode, Adrienne and her husband Dave discuss the boundaries they set while they were dating so they could honor God in their relationship. They share about their experience and the decisions they made, how they stuck to them and why. We hope through their openness and honesty you'll gain some good insights and practical ideas so that you can decide how you will honor God in your dating relationships.
