Welcome to the podcast.

Hey guys, this week's episode is fire.

We have never talked about Christian dating perspectives other than last week's episode

where Isaac shared about the six questions.

He asked guys who come to date one of our daughters.

So we get into it.

And at the very end, we even talk about kissing perspectives on that.

Oh, wow.

And we talked about the five myths, but also really good tips for parents on like how to

think about your children dating and what to equip them with versus being this heavy control

parent.

Let's be this loving relational parent that actually teaches them what the Bible says and guides

them.

So where they adopt really biblically sound perspectives and how to approach this that works.

So there's fruit in their path.

So if you have ever felt like us where you're looking at the different perspectives on dating out there,

you look at what the world's doing and you go, uh-uh, not for my kids. And you look at what maybe some of the more extreme conservatives are doing with courtship. And you go, ah, it's too high control. And you just want the middle road. You want to know what God's word says about it. And you want encouragement in that today's episode is for you. So we're so glad you're here. Andj, people have been asking for this for a long

time. I mean, almost seven years doing the podcast and we're just now talking about dating. I know.

Why is that? Well, it's because, frankly, even though we have nine kids and our third is about to get

married now, we've always tried to hold off on having any strong opinions or teaching on anything

that we haven't lived through enough to have enough experience before teaching on it.

And I'll be honest, even though we've been very blessed that our first two are married
