  • This was for me…

    Every time I listen I walk away with something. But I few nights ago I told God I didn’t know how to surrender a dream that had been in my heart for as long as I could remember. I literally didn’t know how. When I say God answered not only answered me but answered so much more. Lauren, thank you for being obedient to the word Holy Spirit put in you.

  • Blown away - so helpful!

    Dates, Mates, and Babies is honest, relevant, and God-centered. Jason and Lauren have challenged, encouraged, and equipped me to pursue thriving relationships with my parents, friends, future husband, and future kids. They answer the hard questions and cover topics that church doesn’t always discuss. I want to express my upmost gratitude for their commitment to this podcast. I’m nineteen years old and so thankful I started listening now!
