Let's face it, being single and Christian in a non-Christian world is not easy. There is all kinds of temptations and influences that throw mixed signals at us causing confusion, distorting the original design that God had in mind. Add in the over-sexualized entertainment industry plus social media full of "influencers" that have manicured pictures and videos into the mix, it is understandable how Christian singles are like on a remote island without a map.

Our friends join us to chat about it all!

Some topics discussed:

• *Do you have to share the same religion or beliefs?

  *When you “don’t feel peace” is it really because it’s not God’s will? Or could it just be fear?

  *Alot of people say christian’s standards are too high… thoughts?

  *What are non-negotiables? Can they be different for everyone?

  *Is there a THE ONE? Or does God let you choose?

  *Is it true that you have to fully surrender your desire to marry & then you’ll get it?

  *What’s the role of a boyfriend in a relationship? Many want to “lead” while dating, is that bad?

We've all been there probably. In some fashion or another. You tell your mom how you really feel and she says "well, I guess I'm just a terrible parent" or the "after all I've done for you, that's how you treat me?".

How about when you say you don't want to go to that family gathering because uncle Frank always gets wasted, and starts to get too touchy and makes you uncomfortable? "Oh honey, but that's just uncle Frank! He doesn't mean anything by it, it's just how he is! You'll be alright..."

The list goes on and on... so many examples of toxic family. This episode is made to give you tools and language to finally set healthy boundaries, and learn that word you were too afraid to use as a child... NO.

The episode starts with several examples we've seen & heard, the "how-to" part starts around the 45:00 mark.

Segment 1: Spotting the Toxicity

Segment 2: Why It’s So Hard

Segment 3: The How-To Guide

Step 1: Set Clear Boundaries

Step 2: Communicate Those Boundaries—Firmly, Calmly, and Without Apology

Step 3: Expect Pushback

Step 4: Limit or Cut Contact (If Needed)

Step 5: Do the Inner Work

f this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who might need to hear it. And if you’ve got a story or tip about dealing with toxic family, DM us! We'd love to hear from you.

Sometimes life doesn't go exactly as one would have wanted. It's easy to look back and get lost in all of your mistakes and shortcomings, wishing it could've been different. It takes a strong individual to push forward anyway, and not allow the enemy's lies to hold you hostage to your past.

Join us as Nathalie courageously shares her testimony, from growing up in church and music to God giving her victory over struggles and temptations. Her favorite verse is Psalm 139, and a quote near to her heart is "hay esperanza"... there is hope.

Trust us, this is one testimony you do not want to miss.

Some things are easier to forgive than others. Maybe someone stood you up. Maybe someone promised to pay you back, and disappeared. Maybe your spouse had an affair... maybe multiple affairs. Maybe it was physical or sexual abuse... can we forgive?
