ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
Today on the show, we’re doing something a little bit different! Recently, I had the honor of being interviewed by my sweet friend, Kait Warman, for her podcast, Heart of Dating. I LOVE her and I loved our conversation so much that I wanted to make sure y’all had a chance to hear it!
I asked Kait if I could share this conversation here at Girls Night, and she so graciously agreed, and so that’s what you’re going to hear today! This is another fun conversation where I get to be on the hot seat! And today we’re talking about a topic that’s so dear to my heart.
Now, I know I’m not telling you anything new when I say that we’re given a lot of mixed messages when it comes to our desire for marriage. People either act like marriage is the end-all-be-all goal for our lives, or we’re told to push away our desire for marriage focus on “more important things” (I put those in air quotes). But in this conversation, I help us find a middle ground, so we can truly embrace our desire for marriage while also not putting an unhealthy pressure on it. A middle ground where we can prepare for marriage and look toward the future, while also savoring and making the most of the present.
And one of my very best tools for how to get there is prayer. I’ll tell you all about it in the episode.
I can’t wait to dive in. You ready? Me too!
