Let's Talk About It

What if calling off your wedding isn’t failure… but obedience?

Broken engagements are one of the most painful and misunderstood experiences in Christian dating. There’s pressure to push through doubts. Pressure from timelines, money already spent, other people’s expectations. And underneath all of it, a quiet question most people are afraid to say out loud:
What if this isn’t right?

In this episode, we sit down with three Christians who love God, wanted marriage, and still made the decision to call off their engagements.

We talk about the slow realization that something was off, the internal wrestle between fear and discernment, and what it actually looks like to walk away when everything in your life is moving toward a wedding.

We’ll talk about:
The moment they first sensed something wasn’t right

Whether they ignored red flags and why

The pressure to stay when doubts started creeping in

How they knew it was time to call it off instead of “fight for it”

The fear of disobeying God by walking away

What people said and how they handled the questions

The lies they had to fight after everything ended

How to trust your ability to hear God again

What healing actually looked like in the aftermath

How to move forward without fear, shame, or regret

This episode is not about shaming anyone. It’s not about creating fear around commitment.

It’s for the person who feels uneasy but cannot explain why. The person who feels pressure to move forward but knows something is off. The person wondering if it’s too late to pause.

A broken engagement is not a broken future.

God's not ashamed of sex, so neither are we. We'll have any conversation and answer any question. No topic off limits.

We’re back with another episode of blind reactions to the most unhinged Christian dating stories our listeners have sent in.

If you’ve been following this series, you already know the drill. We read the stories for the first time on the podcast and react in real time. And somehow the stories keep getting crazier.

In this episode we react to stories like:
The girl who asked God for a sign about a guy… and the next day he got arrested

The guy who would only hold hands during worship songs

The date that somehow ended with a trip to the dean’s office at a Christian college

The man who compared a girl to a 12 passenger van while explaining why he wouldn’t date her

The ministry leader who used a Samson Bible verse to try to convince a girl to marry him

The relationship that came with a very intense and very prophetic future telling mom

The church play that ended with someone leaving their fiancé and marrying the Grinch

Some of these stories are hilarious. Some are uncomfortable. And some are genuinely cautionary tales about manipulation, immaturity, and confusing spirituality with wisdom.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your Christian dating experience was the weirdest one out there… it probably wasn’t.

God's not ashamed of sex, so neither are we. We'll have any conversation and answer any question. No topic off limits.

Before you get married, you think you know what matters. After you get married, you realize what actually does.

We sat down with three married Christian women to answer the questions single men and women are quietly carrying about attraction, safety, purity, commitment, and what really makes a marriage last.

This is not surface level dating advice. This is what shifts in a woman’s heart after covenant… what feels different, what deepens, what gets harder, and what becomes more beautiful than you expected.

We’ll talk about:
Whether a woman really “just knows” he’s the one
The fears they had before marriage and what actually mattered
How their view of physical attraction changed over time
What truly makes a woman feel safe and secure long term
The difference between healthy pursuit and emotional pressure
How wives want husbands to communicate about past sexual struggles
Whether expecting sexual integrity is unrealistic
What to say to a Christian woman anxious about the wedding night
What strengthens emotional safety inside marriage
What quietly kills connection
When a wife needs empathy instead of solutions
What ended up being harder than expected
What ended up being far better than expected
If you are single, this episode may help you prioritize differently. If you are married, it may help you articulate what your heart has needed all along.

God's not ashamed of sex, so neither are we. We'll have any conversation and answer any question. No topic off limits.

What do married Christian men wish someone had told them before the wedding day? Because once you step into covenant, everything shifts.

We brought three married Christian men into the studio to answer women’s questions about what marriage is actually like, what changes after the honeymoon phase, and what they did not fully understand when they were single.

From attraction and lust to respect, purity, romance, and real life intimacy, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how a man’s perspective evolves inside marriage.

We’ll talk about:
Whether a man really “just knows” she’s the one
The hardest adjustment in the first year of marriage
How their view of physical attraction changed after getting married
The difference between attraction and lust from a married perspective
What respect actually feels like to a husband
Whether women are unrealistic for wanting a man who does not watch porn
How married men pursue purity during seasons without sex
What keeps a marriage strong long term
What kills connection the fastest
What turned out to be better than expected

If you are single and trying to choose wisely, this episode will help you see past chemistry and into character.

If you are married, it may help you understand your husband more than you expected.

God's not ashamed of sex, so neither are we. We'll have any conversation and answer any question. No topic off limits.

What happens when you finally stop pretending you want freedom, and actually tell God the truth?

In this deeply honest conversation, Ben Fitzgerald shares his story of struggling with pornography while walking in ministry, the moment God confronted what he was still keeping as an option, and how real freedom finally came when everything was brought into the light.

Ben opens up about the tension of being anointed but still broken, the night he told God, “I want this, but I do not want to want it,” and why honesty from spiritual leadership played a crucial role in his deliverance. He also shares how Bethel leadership refused to let him step into pastoral leadership while he was secretly battling pornography and how that loving but firm boundary became part of his healing.

We’ll talk about:
What it actually looks like when God rescues someone from addiction
Why wanting freedom and being free are not the same thing
The moment Ben realized pornography was still an option in his heart
How honest accountability broke the power of secret sin
Why spiritual compromise dulls our sensitivity to God
What the fear of the Lord really looks like in a believer’s life
What to say to someone who feels spiritually numb or stuck
Why fighting sexual sin alone never works

If you feel trapped in a private battle, tired of starting over, or afraid that your sin disqualifies you from God’s calling, this episode is for you. Ben’s story is proof that freedom is possible, but it requires truth, surrender, and courage.
