Summary

TODAY we kick off Summer Lovin', a That Sounds Fun podcast series in which we want to restore hope in dating and bridge y’all to helpful conversations, practical resources, and amazing experts, so that you see changes in your dating life—starting with you. I could not be more excited to talk to my friend, Pastor Ben Stuart, about some of the most asked questions about dating. “Where are all the single godly men/women?” "Can women initiate in dating?" “Why is dating so different (and hard!) in 2023?" I am so thankful for Ben's wisdom and voice that he brings to the table. For more resources from Ben and our other Summer Lovin' experts, check out anniefdowns.com/dating. . . . .

0:00.0	Hi friends, welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun.
0:04.8	I'm your host, Annie F. Downs.
0:06.0	I am very happy to be here with you today.

0:50.9	These are my staff, my friends, or friends of friends, who are just normal people who are

1:05.8	and their own stories.
1:07.6	This is not an all in one guide to every part of dating, but it is a jumping off point,
