Heart of Dating
That Sounds Fun Network
The purpose of this podcast, Heart of Dating, is to unmask the ever-so-ambiguous world of dating in the Christian world. While there are resources spread out over the years, there are not many centralized areas where Christians can access dating advice, help, and guidance easily and in a fashion that is accessible. The ultimate hope is that Heart of Dating Podcast will start a healthy conversation for men and women and provide wise input and direction as we answer some tough questions and uncover some transformative ways to develop a healthy attitude and approach to dating as a Christian.

S6 Ep115: “The One, X Factor, Ghosting, Love at First Sight, The Friendzone, and So Much More” with Jonathan Pokluda
JP discussing issues such as "The One" and the "X Factor" as it relates to his book "Outdated" .
JP is the Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, TX. He was formerly the leader of The Porch in Dallas, TX which grew to be the largest weekly young adult gathering of its kind in the country. JP didn’t come to understand the grace of the Gospel until his early twenties after being involved in different denominational churches his entire life. This ignited a desire in him to inspire young adults to radically follow Jesus Christ and unleash them to change the world. His best-selling book, Welcome to Adulting, offers millennials a roadmap to navigating faith, finding a spouse, finances, and the future. Following the release of Welcome to Adulting, he wrote Welcome to Adulting: Survival Guide, that provides a 42-day guide to surviving adulthood. JP’s most recent release, Welcoming the Future Church, inspires ministry leaders to keep their churches young, because Millennials, Gen Y and Gen Z are the future of the church. His next book, OutDated, releases in March and was written after years of observing the changing landscape of dating. JP's partner in ministry is Monica, his wife of sixteen years, and together they disciple their children Presley, Finley, and Weston.

S6 Ep114: Purity Culture and Healing Sexual Shame with Cait and Cole Zick
Cait and Cole from Moral Revolution dicuss the beauty of sexuality as well as how to remove shame from sex and sexuality.
Cole and Caitlin Zick have been married and in ministry together for fifteen years. They currently serve as the directors of Moral Revolution in Redding, California. Before moving to Redding, they led the youth ministry at Capital Christian Center in Sacramento. In 2014, they launched My City Conference, a youth and young adult conference focused on unity in the Sacramento region. They have a deep desire to see the church thriving and working together to be effective. As a couple, they have made sexuality a key focus of their ministry as they share their story very openly and vulnerably hoping to see others find freedom through it. They created four children in five years, which gives insight into their love for chaos.

S6 Ep113: Heartbreak and Learning to Love Again with Elyse Murphy
Elyse discusses a divorce she went through and how it's taboo in the church as well as how she found hope when it comes to love again after a heartbreak.
Elyse is a writer, speaker, and influencer who is committed to using her platform to have authentic conversations and share meaningful moments that inspire people to live up to their God-given calling. She’s an over-sharer and a people pleaser and will probably get distracted mid-conversation, but she’s doing her best to live a healthy life (body, soul, and spirit) and point them to Jesus... And she’s ok if that’s a little bit messy. In fact, these days? She kind of likes it messy.
In a world that is desperate to be seen, she’s on a mission to be known. And she wants to take everyone with her.
Elyse grew up as a pastors kid in Sydney Australia and, after graduating from Hillsong Leadership College, wrote her first book “Confessions of a Church Kid.” She moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to pursue ministry and found a whole new world of life and its lessons along the way. She’s currently in the process of writing her second book and has expanded into media. Elyse is now the co-producer and host of “On A Lighter Note” with Lightworkers and works with media outlets to create content that will help people find hope and have honest conversations about faith, health, and relationships. She’s also currently working with Christine Caine and Propel to launch Propel Girl later this year.
