Should You Date a Non-Christian Guy? Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 022 - What’s the harm in dating a non-Christian guy? What if he’s a highly moral guy, but he’s not a Christian. Is dating okay? We love each other and love is bigger than religion, right? We get asked these questions and more on a regular basis. Christian girls want to know if it's biblically okay for a christian girl to date a non-christian guy. The argument goes, "It's not like we're getting married. It's just dating."
In today's episode on The Girl Defined Show, we dig deep into God's Word and unpack five reasons why we believe it's not wise for christian and a non-christian to be a dating relationship.

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 021 - Having the opportunity to sit under the wisdom of a godly woman is a huge blessing. Don’t try to figure life out on your own. Don’t look to social media, magazines, movies, or music to be your guide. Don’t only surround yourself with peers. Instead, take some time to begin praying and asking God to provide a godly older woman to mentor you. It’s been a huge help in our lives and we're convinced it will be the same for you.

In today's episode, we're talking about the process of finding a mentor and how you can get one in your life.

Why I Waited Until 30 to Kiss Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 019 - I never thought I'd wait until I was 30 to experience my first kiss on my wedding day. I made the decision when I was a teenager, but I thought I'd get married in my early twenties. God had a different plan though. A few weeks ago I posted a reel to Instagram of me and my husband kissing for the first time at the altar. For whatever reason, it sparked a ton of interest. Over 3 million people viewed that video and left a ton of love on it as well. Why do people find that video so fascinating? Why is it so intriguing?
In todays show, I share with you the reasoning behind why I waited until I was 30 to kiss. I share the pros and cons of my thinking and what that journey looked like.

Recovering Womanhood from Toxic Femininity Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 016 - As women, we ALL want to be happy, fulfilled, content, worthy, and loved… but so many women (whether Christian or not) find themselves feeling the opposite. In fact, in researching for Kristen and Bethany's first book, Girl Defined, they came across a study published in the UK Daily Mail which stated, quote: “Women are less happy nowadays despite 40 years of feminism. Despite having more opportunities than ever before, they have a lower sense of well-being and life satisfaction.”
This is heartbreaking. Instead continuing down the same path and hoping for different results, let's ask some hard questions. Let's talk about why women are less happy and less fulfilled. Let's talk about the lies many women believe about their identity. Let's talk about what the secular world teach about being women in today’s society. Let's talk about toxic femininity.
In today's episode, Kristen Clark and Portia Collins are discussing God's good design for womanhood and offering hope-filled biblical truths to guide the modern girl.
