  • Fun With Annie F. Downs: Episode 899
    Apr 24 2025

    When people transition out of your life, plus Annie F. Downs on being single and not-so-serious, and how to set boundaries with your parents.

    Featured musical artist: About a Mile

    Roundtable: When People Leave

    Your best friend moves to a new city. Or a sibling leaves home. Or you change churches. All of these have one thing in common: They reset your social circle, plus they bring a sense of grief and loss. When people exit your life, how do you learn to adjust? Our guests talk about departures that have forced them to move on and make new friends, plus how they persevered and saw God’s hand in the transitions despite the struggle to say goodbye.

    Our favorite Easter takeaways and traditions, plus crafting your testimony to share, and keeping up with a Gen Zer who wants to do it all.

    Featured musical artist: John Waller

    Roundtable: The Impact of Easter

    We share our favorite Easter holiday activities and traditions — what we’ve kept (church, brunch, maybe a chocolate egg or two) and what we’ve tossed (Easter bunny photos, ugh) — and how we craft a meaningful celebration. We also discuss why Easter gives us hope, and what that actually means.

    Culture: How to Tell Your Story

    Are you good at sharing your testimony? For many of us it can feel awkward or downright intimidating. Maybe you’re not even sure what parts to leave in and what to cut out. And you certainly haven’t practiced it. Dani Crews joins us to explain the power of our own stories in sharing the gospel with others, and gives us great tips for crafting our story so others want to hear it.

  • Gender Roles in Dating: Episode 897
    Apr 10 2025

    Roles and rhythms while dating, plus strategies to combat loneliness, and when he feels attraction in a relationship but she doesn’t.

    Featured musical artist: Tauren Wells

    Roundtable: Who Does What When Dating?

    A listener recently asked what roles, if any, men and women should play in a dating relationship. The question raises many more questions: Should the guy make the first move? Does biblical submission apply in dating? Who should pay for dates? What does leadership of the relationship look like? We tackle these questions and more with our panel of newly-married and engaged individuals.

    Culture: Overcoming Loneliness

    Loneliness is a worldwide epidemic. A recent U.S. Surgeon General report states that one in two adults feels isolated. The need for connection is greater than ever, and Christians should be the first to prioritize it. Becky Harling has fought hard for real relationships in her life, and is here to show us how to do the same.
