This is a lovely podcast for all stages of preparing for marriage. Hearing the talks and stories about different subjects is so helpful to sit and pray about in singlehood.
P.S. I do miss the longer stories/podcast!
This is my first time writing a review for a podcast and it is literally because this one is so good! There are super profound insights in each episode. I listened to the breakups part 2 and I would give a lot to go back and follow Elizabeth’s advice! Also, thank you for naming out the stages of grief. We all need that. And for being so you and personable!
My boyfriend and I have been listening to an episode a week and talking together about it for over a month now. The episodes are always very engaging and bring up lots of points for further questions between the two of us. 10/10 would recommend.
This is a fantastic podcast! I listen with my boyfriend frequently and it has been a great guide for our relationship as we discern marriage together. I love how it gives tips for healthy dating and also includes testimonies of other couples. This podcast has led to many fruitful and important conversations in our relationship. Keep up the awesome work :)
Loved Liv Harrison, Mary Lenaburg, and the Hickl’s episodes. Even as a married person this is helpful reminder but a great resource for those discerning a vocation
