What does it look like to discern marriage in a world confused about masculinity, femininity, and commitment?In this deeply personal conversation, we explore vocational loneliness, the surprising story of the “24-year-old saints,” intentional dating, dropping the hankie with courage, and the lost art of masculine pursuit. We talk honestly about infertility, miscarriage, surrender, and how God often writes our love stories through suffering rather than ease.
