For The Girl

Okayyyy this one was FUN. 💌 In the spirit of our Valentine’s series, we brought in the real experts — our husbands — to answer your dating questions. And let’s just say… they did not hold back.

From slow texters and “is he into me?” confusion, to crushes that might be idols (yikes 😅), to dating your ex’s best friend (double yikes??), we covered it all. We talked about insecurity, confidence, communication, rejection, equal yoking, and what healthy pursuit actually looks like.

The boys shared honestly about what it means to pursue with clarity, why you should never have to guess how a guy feels about you, and how important community and character really are.

If you’re dating, thinking about dating, healing from dating, or just trying to not overthink dating — this episode is for you. We laughed a lot and hopefully left you feeling a little more confident, a little more grounded, and a lot more at peace.

In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Christian Bevere to talk all about what it looks like to pray for your future husband — before you even know his name. We dive deep into faith, singleness, and what it really means to contend in prayer for the love story God is writing.

Christian shares her whirlwind love story, but more importantly, she walks us through how praying for her husband transformed her heart long before she walked down the aisle. We talk about awkward prayers, husband Bibles, singleness as a gift, and how to navigate dating in today’s world without losing your peace or your standards.

If you’re single and waiting, dating and discerning, or even married and reflecting on how God moved in your story — this conversation will remind you that God hears every prayer, sees every tear, and is wildly intentional with your timeline.
