Whether you need to re-listen to this episode, or you’ve never heard it before, I know it will challenge and encourage you as it has for so many others! Coming in at #2….. There’s a lot of casual dating going on these days…and it’s starting to get confusing. Is it okay to date casually? And if so, is there a limit to how casual you should be when interacting with the opposite sex.  Today’s question comes from a young woman who is struggling with the latest trend of casual dating where a guy can hang out with as many girls as he wants (or vice versa) in the name of “casual dating”. Casual Dating Can’t Stay Casual The problem is that people tend to think in two extremes. Either they are way too casual and keep the relationship ambiguous and commitment free for FAR too long, or they’re on the other end of the spectrum in which they see dating as a near marriage commitment.  They’re unwilling to consider anything casual and they expect a relationship to start seriously from the get-go. But BOTH of these mentalities can be harmful, and in this episode of the podcast we talk through the ins and outs of how to do “casual dating” in a healthy way, and the red flags you need to be aware of along the way. I’m going to bring up a few important questions you need to ask yourself if you want to know how to do causal dating well.

Whether you need to re-listen to this episode, or you’ve never heard it before, I know it will challenge and encourage you as it has for so many others! Coming in at #3….. What do I do with my raging sex drive while I’m single? I get that question a lot. But the problem is: not too many Christians are teaching about this subject. I can’t recall when I heard a sermon about sexual struggles on a Sunday morning, can you? But dealing with your sex drive is a problem that singles have to face on a regular basis….one that will ultimately have an impact on their future marriages as well, because learning to “tame the drive” is something you’re going to deal with after you’re married as well. So I thought it was about time to do an episode about sex drive and singleness. LET’S TALK ABOUT…THE SEX DRIVE When we talk about sex on the podcast, everyone gets excited…no pun intended. So, without further to do, click the links below to listen this insightful (and at times, awkward) conversation, as I answer today’s caller who is wondering how on earth can he deal with “the sex drive”  – as he puts it – while he waits for marriage. In this episode I cover: Why your sex drive (annoying as it may be at times while you’re single) is actually a good thing. Why the sex for marriage sentiment is actually backed up by psychology. The dangerous power of premarital sex. Why your sex drive is actually a symptom of something ELSE going on. The #1 way to stop having shame about your sex drive. How to fuel the spirit and starve the flesh, and what that means for your sex life. Some practical ways to control your sex drive while you’re single. Identifying things you are doing that might be growing your sex drive instead of controlling your sex drive. Why learning to control your sex drive is something you’ll need after you’re married as well. And a whole…lot…more! You’re going to love this candid conversation so get ready to for this necessary, honest, and insightful Episode 011 of the Love + Relationships Podcast.

[Want to be on the Love + Relationships Podcast?  Email debra@truelovedates.com with your voice memo question and you might be featured on Season 5!] Q: What does healthy dating look like and what are the key ingredients to a healthy dating relationship?  A: Today’s question comes from Kim in Ohio, who is wondering what healthy dating actually looks like…is it even a thing? If you know anything about me and this ministry, you know that my main message is that healthy people make healthy relationships. But how do you know that your relationship is healthy? What are some things to be on the lookout for when it comes to your interactions with the opposite sex? Healthy Dating Is A Thing On today’s episode, we’re talking through this question and the belief that healthy dating is a real thing!! It IS POSSIBLE to date in a way that leaves you with no regrets — even in today’s chaotic culture of relationships. Joining me to answer this question today, is Pastor Ben Stuart from Passion City Church in DC and formerly served as the director of BreakAway Ministries. Ben’s work with young adults and his heart for this topic made him a perfect candidate to tag-team this question with me today. In this episode, we talk through: Why is dating such a struggle for Christians? How to look at dating in a way that takes the pressure off. The THEME verse that should define the way we do dating. What are some of the key ingredients that make healthy dating a possibility. The three Cs of dating. Why mutual interest and initiation is SO important. Why charm is deceptive… And so much more!!!

Some of the most prominent people in ministry and leadership are dealing with anxiety, you just don’t know about it.  The reason is that anxiety doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care about how old you are, what religion you are, or your gender. But unfortunately, not enough people of faith are talking about dealing with anxiety in an open and honest way, and so many people end up struggling alone and in isolation.  That’s why I’m excited about today’s conversation. You guys have heard me talk about my personal journey dealing with anxiety, but today I’ve invited my friend Ashley Willis, who has walked through her own battle with anxiety. She’s so open and honest about her journey, and how she found peace…and I know this episode will encourage you if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety as well.

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!
