  • Predatory ad choices

    Surprised that the ads on episode 292 (all about body image) were for a glp1 and Weight Watchers. Hard to believe any wisdom you share about body image when those ads are served right alongside it. How are we supposed to believe our bodies don’t have to look a certain way to deserve romantic love or good things from God (as you say on the episode) when you are giving airtime to companies that tell us we should be thinner? Dangerous mixed messages.

  • So needed

    This is a great podcast. Kait and JJ are so genuine, funny and warm and bring these much needed conversations about Christian dating (which is COMPLICATED) to light. I have already learned so much from listening to their wisdom in the past few days and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Big respect and love ❤️

  • Hush Kait!

    I can’t even listen because (1) Kait needs to calm down. She’s too hyper and neurotic. (2) She dominates the conversation. She’s self-promoting. She asks questions of the guest and then doesn’t give the space or respect to answer. Kait, please SHUT UP AND CALM THE F DOWN.

  • A Podcast That Grows With You

    One word to describe this podcast? Insightful!

    I’m so grateful I found it years ago when I was single, because it carried me through the challenges of that season and made me feel truly seen in the heartache that came with it. Now that I’m in a new season of dating, I still turn to this podcast often. There’s hardly a topic Kait and JJ haven’t covered, and I find myself relistening to episodes that speak to me in fresh ways now that I’m living them out. Kait and JJ, thank you for serving the bod... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Battle of the Sexes with Jeanine and Kaleb Ward
Q: Women say that men do not pursue anymore. Do you think that's actually true or are women just being too picky about who they let pursue them?
Kaleb says approaching women can feel nerve-racking, especially within church or friend groups where rejection may bring gossip or awkwardness. JJ agrees that men may pursue less, but says women can make it easier by responding kindly and honestly to anyone who approaches.
Should You Date a New Christian? Carlos & Alexa PenaVega Met 4 Days After He Got Saved
Q: When did your faith just keep growing and growing? Was there a specific point in dating and marriage where you guys were like, that's the defining point of one of our lives and our faiths?
They describe how attending church together became part of their relationship from the beginning, then explain that hosting a large weekly Bible study required them to learn, serve, and grow in their faith.
Should You Date a New Christian? Carlos & Alexa PenaVega Met 4 Days After He Got Saved
Q: Would you guys share a little bit about your story with Indy, and then we'll go into the dating part.
Carlos and Alexa describe leaving Maui after the fires, moving to Tennessee, and experiencing the stillbirth of their daughter Indie. Alexa says earlier hardships had drawn them closer to God, helping them face their loss with faith and support each other as a family.
She Prayed for a Husband — Then Told Him No for 2 Years | Whitney & DeAngelo Moss
Q: What did dating and the premarital process look like, and were there moments when you had reservations?
They became a couple after meeting in Nashville, got engaged in June 2024, and married in October 2024. They worked through trauma, self-sabotage, difficult conversations, and practical decisions by communicating directly and choosing to build a life together.
She Prayed for a Husband — Then Told Him No for 2 Years | Whitney & DeAngelo Moss
Q: What would you say to people who feel that a man's persistence after rejection is creepy?
Whitney and DeAngelo say respectful pursuit depends on confidence, patience, and creating safety without pressure. They distinguish steady interest from ignoring a clear boundary, and DeAngelo describes seeing rejection as a lack of familiarity rather than a judgment of his value.
