Summary
Know if the person you’re dating is maturing or not, plus overcoming body image issues, and favorite foods of the Boundless team.
Featured musical artist: David Dunn
Roundtable: Prioritizing Growth in Dating
Maturing together can be one of the greatest joys of dating someone. But how can you tell if the person you’re seeing is truly pursuing growth — or if they’re all talk and no action? Our panel shares strategies for assessing if your significant other is actually maturing, how to not be someone’s Holy Spirit, and why you need to be humble and teachable yourself.
Culture: A Conversation About Body Image
Dr. Becky Taylor battled disordered eating and body image as a teenager and young adult — a struggle that still has ramifications in her life today. She’s now an eating disorder expert and professor at Colorado Christian University where she daily counsels young adults on body image issues of all kinds (e.g. not just food). In our conversation, she shows us how to embrace our God-given identities, how to recognize wrong perspectives, and where to start on a journey toward healing — including a powerful lesson from the children’s book “When God Made You.”
Table for Two: Biblical Counsel for Eating Disorders
Inbox: What’s Your Favorite Food?
