How Are Things With Your Parents? Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

#123: Things aren’t as they should be. We live in a broken world, and because of that, families experience broken patterns of relating to each other. Parents are broken. Children are broken.

It’s wise for single women to resolve some of these broken patterns of relating with parents and change what they can before they repeat the broken patterns they’ve experienced. That’s the conversation we are starting today.

Kim is joined by her friend Jess, who shares some surprising insights from Moses' life. Who knew that Moses could be such an encouragement as we work toward healthy relationships?

Doing what we can to have healthy family relationships allows us to invest in ourselves and in our future marriage– it’s kinda like loving your husband before you even have one!

Realities of a Spiritually Mismatched Marriage Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

#121: You've been single a long time. The guy who is paying attention to you isn't following Christ. You know you aren’t on the same page spiritually, but he's really cute and fun. You wonder if you could be a good influence on him. Singleness has worn you down, and it’s tempting to think that if the two of you got married, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

Well, we get it, and we are here for you. It’s important to understand the challenges a marriage faces when a couple isn’t on the same page spiritually, and that’s what we are talking about today!

Clark is a pastor, and he's seen the struggles of these spiritually "mismatched" marriages. His wife Pam joins us for a realistic look at what marriage is like when one is following Christ and one isn't.

Has Following Christ Been Worth It? Mar 26, 2024

After more than thirty years, has it been worth it?
What has kept them from quitting?
What advice do they have for single girls?
What advice would they give their 19-year-old selves?

This episode went a little longer than normal, so grab a cup of tea and make time to soak up some wisdom from some women who have gone before you.

Tips for Navigating Dating Apps Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

#119: In this episode, Clary joins us to discuss a long-awaited and often-requested topic--dating apps! Clary met her husband on a dating app, and she's sharing her best tips for navigating them.

Christians seem to be on both sides of the argument for and against dating apps, and there are valid points on each side. We aren’t going to tell you that you should or shouldn’t use them. It’s a personal decision, and we hope you'll seek godly counsel around you for your specific situation.

The reality is that dating apps most likely aren’t going away anytime soon, so we’re discussing how best to use them if you choose to.

Resolving Your Past Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

#115: We all have things in our lives that we've done in the past that we are not proud of. Most of us have baggage from our sexual past, and often, we don't know how to deal with it all.

If you want a good, healthy marriage someday, it's good to resolve these things of the past and move forward in the freedom Christ gives us. And, as a single woman, this is an opportunity to invest in your future marriage ahead of time by resolving these issues before you enter such an important relationship, and hopefully, your future husband will do that, too.

Kim, Adrienne, and their guest, Milana, discuss all of this and more in this episode. Thanks for joining us!

Happy Valentine's Day! (Part 2) Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

#114: Cassidi is back! You guys LOVED her Valentine's Day episode last year when she shared her top 3 single girl tips to celebrate Valentine's Day (#82). Her single-girl street cred is hard to beat, and her episode topped our charts for the most listens in one day!

She returns again this year with the same big heart for single women, but her husband is with her! God surprised her in the past 12 months, and He gave her a story that will cause you to trust God more deeply as you wait on Him.

A few key questions we discuss:

Do guys really listen to this podcast?
Are you not feeling pretty enough or godly enough for a guy to like you?
Does it really matter how you live out your single years?
What does it mean to "stir the pot"?
Should you make the first move with a guy?
