Summary

Is it possible to pursue marriage in a biblical way today? ABSOLUTELY and we are overjoyed by Megan and Shawn honoring their parents and the Lord as they approach their wedding day. You will hear their engagement story, their convictions on purity and why, and the wisdom they share for why it’s so worth it to do it God’s way. If you don’t have a strong conviction for how Christian dating should work for your children, neither will they as it’s extremely counter-cultural. This episode will encourage you and give you ideas you can incorporate into your own parenting.
