Talk To Me: The Debra Fileta Podcast

Today we’re talking about walking through unbelievably hard times.  Whether you’re walking through hard times right now, with all that’s going on in our country, or maybe you’re walking through the hard times of heartbreak, or loss, or grief…whatever it is, today’s episode is for you. Jennie and Levi Lusko lost their precious little girl, Lenya, suddenly and unexpectedly at the young age of five years old. Today, I talk with Jennie about this heart aching story, and the reality of walking through hard times, and how she personally navigated that time in her life while continuing to hold on to Jesus. Her words are encouraging, and inspiring, and will help you see that flourishing in life doesn’t come naturally – it’s something we have to FIGHT for.  If you’ve ever walked through hard times, this episode is for you.

Do you feel like you’re struggling with singleness? I know that the struggle can be heightened during this season of life, especially with all that’s going on in the nation in light of Covid 19. Social distancing, quarantine, sheltering in place can make you feel even more lonely and disconnected than ever before. But struggling with singleness does not make you strange, or crazy, or lacking in faith. It makes you human. I got a question from a listener asking for tips and advice on how to deal with loneliness and anxiety during this time, and I brought my good friend – the one and only Mandisa, to help me tackle this question! Mandisa is a an incredible woman of God on the journey of singleness…and I know that having her help me address and answer this question will bless you beyond belief!

Play hard to get.  If you’re in the world of dating, or were at some point in your life — you’ve definitely heard the relationship advice that tells you to play hard to get. Don’t look too interested.  Don’t call for at least 3 days.  Make sure they don’t know how much you like them.  Don’t text back right away.  But is this relationship advice any good? Play Hard To Get There’s a reason why this is common relationship advice. We want to play the game of relationships, and make ourselves feel like we’re in control rather than feeling like someone is in control of us. But there are two major problems that the “play hard to get” mentality creates in relationships.  Today on the podcast, I’m explaining both of those problems and why this is actually BAD relationship advice, and what you should do instead. Don’t be fooled by the play hard to get game…because you’re going to end up losing in the end.

Marriage should make you happy. That’s the relationship advice we hear all the time. But is it even true? How much weight do we need to put on our happiness? What is the secret ingredient to creating happiness in marriage? Does happiness create a good marriage, or does a good marriage create happiness? And what happens when you’re not happy? Is it even realistic to say we’re going to be happy all the time in marriage?  We need to take the time to evaluate this relationship advice, and make sure we’re questioning it and seeing it for what it’s worth. Marriage Should Make You Happy — or Should It? Today, my friend, pastor, and bestselling author of Sacred Marriage, Gary Thomas, helps me tackle this important bad relationship advice, because it’s advice that’s hurting many marriages. We’re going to take a look at both scripture and psychology and get to the root of this bad relationship advice, and offer you a BETTER perspective — a perspective that helps us look at holiness before we look at happiness.

You’ll “just know” When You Meet The Right Person…that’s what they try and tell you. “You lock eyes, as you glance across the room at each other. And all of a sudden, somehow, you just know.” The worst relationship advice I’ve ever heard comes from the people who tell you you’ll just know when you meet the person you’re going to marry. It’s a cookie cutter formula that can’t — and shouldn’t — be applied to all relationships. It’s caused a lot of confusion along the way, and caused many people to pass up very good relationships because they were expecting some sort of an intense feeling or instant knowledge when the right person came along. You’ll Just Know? In today’s episode I share my personal experience with this bad relationship advice (because I TOTALLY DID NOT JUST KNOW!!!) and then I offer a counter perspective to help you navigate this important area of your life, because there ARE some important things to look for in looking for love…but it doesn’t just happen at first glance.

When it comes to relationships, have you ever heard the phrase, “women should not initiate”? This is all too common advice, and unfortunately, it’s advice that comes with a lot of controversy as well as negative repercussion. So should women initiate? And what does that look like in dating, as well as in marriage? The bad relationship advice series continues at TrueLoveDates.com by unpacking this relationship advice and why it can actually wreak havoc on your relationship in the long run.  Should Women Initiate? I’m joined by my friend and author, Phylicia Masonheimer, as we tag-team this important subject. Both Phylicia and I heard and applied this bad relationship advice that women should not initiate at different points in our lives, and in this episode we each unpack how it impacted our respective marriages, discuss why we think this is bad advice, and then offer you a healthier alternative to relationships.  If you’re a woman who has ever wondered about a woman initiating in a relationship, or if you’re a man who has ever had questions about this topic, you don’t want to miss this candid episode that’s not only grounded in psychology, but in biblical truth.  Tune in to Episode 68 of the Love + Relationships Podcast and subscribe to the show by clicking on the button below!

“You just need to wait on God to bring you a relationship.” If you’re single, there’s a good chance you’ve heard that advice at some point along the way. The problem is that what it means to “wait on God” often get’s misinterpreted into meaning that you should DO NOTHING.  Too many singles are on the side of the spectrum of passivity when it comes to their relationships, because they have been taught that waiting on God means you do less and trust God more.  In today’s episode, I’m unpacking why I think this is “bad advice” and what waiting on God should look and feel like when it comes to our romantic relationships. How do you wait on God, yet still continue to pursue your heart’s desire for relationships? Is waiting a God an action, or a place of the heart?  That’s what we’re talking about today!! I love this episode so much, and especially because I’m joined by my friend Kait Warman, an amazing woman with a heart for singles and healthy dating, and who is currently living the single life!! I know this episode will challenge and encourage you, so be sure to tune in! Also, after you listen to this episode, make sure to check out our upcoming singles mixer for people in their 20s!
