12. Rooted: Navigating Identity in a Confused Culture

14. Rejection to Redirection: Intentional Dating, Clarity & God’s Timing | Colin & Calista

I’m so pumped to share this conversation with y’all as I have the privilege and honor of inviting my dear friends (that’s right—TWO special guests) on the podcast! In this episode, Colin and Calista share their story of rejection, intentional dating, and trusting God’s timing. We go beyond discussing relationships to reflecting on the truth of our identity in Christ, how past wounds and experiences shape the way we see ourselves and others, and what it looks like to lay down our lives in daily surrender to the Lord. Together, we answer the tough questions you have about relationships through the lens of Scripture: - How do I know when I'm ready to be in a relationship? - How do you discern if someone is worth pursuing? - What does intentionality without pressure look like before/during the dating process? - How do you balance feelings, wisdom, and faith when making relationship decisions? - How can we discern between God closing a door and our own fears holding us back? From navigating long-distance while serving on summer missions in Hungary/Japan to learning how clarity and honest communication can be one of the most Christlike things you bring into a relationship, this conversation is equal parts thoughtful, practical, and of course a whole lot of fun. :) If you’ve ever wondered how to date with clarity, how to recognize healthy relationship dynamics, or how to hold your plans loosely while following God’s leading, we hope this feels like sitting down with friends who are figuring it out too. ♡ Go out and be a light! ☼ #livoutsidethebubble
