💬 What Does a Godly Partner Really Want? Let's Talk About It.

Dating as a Christian can be confusing—especially when you're trying to figure out what men and women of faith are really looking for in a relationship. Is being a "nice guy" enough? Do godly men only care about looks? Are all the good men really gone? And what does it actually mean to be equally yoked?

In this honest and down-to-earth conversation, we unpack:

• What godly women look for in a man

• How Christian men see beauty, character, and faith

• Balancing confidence and humility in relationships

• The importance of spiritual compatibility

• How to recognize red flags—and the real fruit of someone’s walk with Christ

Whether you're new to your faith or just trying to date with purpose, this episode is full of encouragement, real talk, and biblical wisdom.

Is there a right way for Christians to date—or is courting the better path? And what does marriage really mean through the lens of Scripture?

In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we’re having an honest conversation about one of the most personal and sometimes confusing topics for young believers: Christian dating vs. courting. What’s the difference between the two? Which aligns more with God’s design for relationships? And are we truly ready for what marriage requires?

We’ll also unpack what biblical marriage looks like—beyond just romance—and explore the deeper responsibilities of building a Christ-centered life together. Do we share the same vision for family, ministry, and calling? What are the God-given roles of husbands and wives?

Whether you’re single, dating, or considering marriage, this episode offers practical wisdom, biblical truth, and encouragement for walking in purity and purpose in your relationships.

What if loving your enemies meant putting yourself at risk?
What if Jesus’ command to “turn the other cheek” collided with your instinct to protect yourself—or your family?

In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we wrestle with the deep tension between loving those who’ve wronged us and the desire—or even the need—to defend ourselves. Is self-defense biblical? Is pacifism the only “Christian” response? And how far does mercy really go?

If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I really have to care for someone who hates me?”—you’re not alone. This conversation is raw, honest, and grounded in Scripture.

What if loving your enemies isn’t just a command… but a path to freedom?
In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we wrestle with one of the hardest teachings of Jesus—loving those who have hurt us.

Why does forgiveness feel so unfair?
What’s the difference between God's justice and our desire for revenge?
Is it enough to resist physical retaliation, or does God care about our thoughts too?
And how can we love people who still seem set on doing harm?

This conversation is raw, honest, and necessary—especially if you're struggling with bitterness, anger, or the pain of betrayal.
