the key to dating it so skip the oxytocin bonding and go straight to vasopressin connection (teamwork/teambuilding exercises). dance instruction, puzzle solving, escape rooms, cooking class, furniture assembly/restoration, home improvement projects, etc. you want your entire relationship to be a fairy tale honeymoon not just the first 6 months so get to know the person by seeing if you can work together first, there will be plenty of time for romantic dates later on when you know you like each other and can conquer life together.
I’m currently going through a relationship that I feel isn’t Gods best for me and I’d be settling for what’s comfortable. It’s hard when you’ve been in a relationship for years, both not truly knowing Jesus and living the ways of the world, & one day one of you has a calling to grow in your faith and to become a new version of yourself that lives according to the ways God calls believers to live. He’s known me one way all these years and now I’m evolving to this new person where my beliefs and values have changed. It’s disheartening, but I don’t want to go back to my old self and compromise my beliefs and values. I’ve tried to change him, but I’ve realized that I can’t change him. I want to fix my eyes on Jesus and live in holiness, righteousness, and purity. This video came in perfect timing. I pray I find the strength to do Gods will, to walk in the plans and purpose he has for me, and to let go of fear and control because He will work things out for good.
I totally understand where you are coming from, I was in the same scenario for a long time in high school and I felt like it was absolutely impossible to leave this person although he caused me so much harm! A Bible verse that would’ve helped me sooo much in that time would’ve been 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” As you go through this journey there will be days where you’re going to want to go back, that’s okay but remember to lean on the spirit of the Lord to help you endure the temptation 🤍🤍 I love you sister in Christ
Amen sister ! I am currently going through this situation right now as well and im here to let you know that you are certainly not alone. This comment gave me alot of peace knowing im not alone. I whole heartedly believe that we can do this and we will walk in our will God has for us. God bless you sister. I love you so much but Jesus loves you wayyy more ❤
Girl I understand you, and let me just tell you I’m standing on the other side of being obedient to God and laying the relationship down and I regret nothing. It was so hard for me to let him go and I almost went back, I tried to justify oh maybe if we give it some time he’ll get there and we can come back together. But girl you want someone who is ALREADY there, not somebody who will get there. It’s hurts and is so hard in the beginning but now it has been 5 months and I am so glad that I listened to the Lord because I want a man who leads me, not the other way around and I have faith that if we are faithful to the Lord in surrendering what we think is our best, He’ll show us what truly we could never comprehend because that’s HIS best. He’s got you in the palm of His hands, He will lead you. Something that I prayed that the Lord answered and I hope it helps is Lord make me willing to be willing to let it go, and one day He did. I love you girl, you can do this!! ❤️❤️
This is exactly what I needed to hear as I'm currently taking 5 days to pray over ending a relationship or continuing it. Thank you so much for preaching God's truth!❤
Madi, thank God you decided to do this podcast. It's such a blessing, I don't want to miss it anymore. I wish I would have heard this episode years ago. Also love how structured it was and that you did it alone so it's easier to focus on the information. God bless you and your family 🙏 🤍
this is why I love this podcast, Even though there are things I do not agree with you still hold us and yourself accountable. You also make it easier to see both sides. Ive found myself in several abusive relationships and have lost myself in the process. after every toxic abusive relationship I would just get into another one thinking that it would make the problems go away. Being single I have realized there are past traumas I need to deal with so thank you. Really loved this episode
This podcast came to me at the perfect time in my life. Recently went through a breakup when it was released. I was truly reassured by you & God that some people in life meant to leave. I love the analogy that you should be running the race to God & if they aren’t running the race with you, the aren’t from God. Thank you for your podcast. I love you.
Wow Maddie i dope you see this comment. I have been having all of the same thoughts as you talked about. This is what I needed to hear so bad today. My thoughs are am I going to be attracted to my husband? I know I can never compromise in my faith walk so either i will be single forever or maybe I end up not being attracted to my husband. I don't find many people who have the same level of dedication to the lord and I am always learning to be content in the Lord. Because we are not promised a husband, but we are promised to be satisfied with the Lord. Thanks Maddie :)
I love your podcasts, you refer back to scripture and it really gives a space to be able to trust your advice knowing it’s based from God’s word. You speak truth and in truth you also speak with love. Continue to being a light! 🤍
I’m currently single, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about rather than longing for the next season to pursue singleness with purity. So often it is pushed to be married without evaluating that. I’m currently not in that season to date: period.
Thank you Madi for sharing your knowledge and wisdom and for God continuing to speak to you, through you and to us. This and the GGB video on toxic love is so perfectly timed on relationships. You both are my favorite Christian podcasters. May God continue to use you as a vessel to speak to many and bring more people to know and love Jesus.
All true, the struggle is to find that man of God, I've been single my whole life cause I know what I am worth and I won't settle but the struggle is real. There is no man literally.
I was the same with maternity cloths😆 I just wore my husband’s shirts and sweats, finally at 7 months I got a couple maternity outfits 😅💕It was hard for me to find any maternity cloths I liked (and they’re expensive!)
First of all I adore your podcast I love it !! But I did want to say for maternity clothes I used to work with a family that was pregnant and she swears by aiere !! Their leggings and over sized tees is what she lived in !!
Madi, you are a light in this world. God is using you as a vessel for His glory. You are a role model for so many people. May God bless you.

currently trying to decide whether to end a relationship or not. it's really hard. thank you for your wisdom!
Love your channel ❤ this is good advice for us single Christians
I’m currently single, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about rather than longing for the next season to pursue singleness with purity. So often it is pushed to be married without evaluating that. I’m currently not in that season to date: period.
Your long intro was very encouraging ❤😢😢❤
pure gold, thank you!
SO good! God bless you 🤍🙏
