Saying "I love you" can feel exciting, romantic — and sometimes, dangerous. In this episode of the Route 77 Podcast, Natasha, Monique, and David explore the emotional and spiritual weight behind those three little words.

Why do we say it so soon? What does it actually mean in a dating relationship? And how can premature declarations of love create confusion, pressure, or even manipulation?

From personal stories to biblical wisdom, we unpack how to guard your heart, use your words wisely, and understand what love looks like when it’s grounded in truth — not just emotion.

Whether you're dating now or reflecting on the past, this conversation is for anyone who wants to love well and speak wisely.

What is a red flag in dating—and how do you know it’s not just a one-off mistake? In this week’s episode, Natasha and Monique get real about the warning signs they missed in past relationships and why recognizing red flags early can save you years of heartache. From poor conflict resolution to spiritual immaturity, they unpack personal, relational, and biblical red flags—and how to respond with wisdom, not panic. Whether you’re dating, healing, or supporting a friend through it, this episode offers clarity, conviction, and a bit of laughter along the way.

What happens if you find yourself unequally yoked? Whether you're thinking about dating a non-believer, already in a relationship, engaged, or even married to someone who doesn't share your faith—this episode is for you. We talk honestly about the biblical command not to be unequally yoked, what that really means, and how to navigate the messy, real-life situations many Christians face. We also explore friendships and business partnerships, and why those are a bit different. Join us for a conversation that's compassionate, practical, and rooted in Scripture.
