What does it actually look like for young people to honor God in dating for the purpose of marriage? Megan Tolpin and her fiancee Shawn come on the show with Isaac and Angie giving a behind the scenes look and perspectives as they’ve been living it out biblically. While they both were wondering if they were going to be able to find the right person, God had them both turn to trusting the Lord in a stronger way and serving Him with their lives instead of finding a spouse in their own strength. It was only then that the Lord brought them together, but they didn’t even date for three months while being friends first. Here about the meetings Shawn had with Tolpin’s as his relationship with Megan was strengthening and get the wisdom you need as you prepare to navigate leading your children when the time comes. Be ready to be encouraged by their Godly example driven by their own deep personal convictions of obeying God as they approach marriage together.
