Missed a few episodes? No worries, we’ve got you! Here’s a quick recap of our first 8 episodes and all the love, lessons, and laughs you might’ve missed.

Dating with purpose ain’t always easy, especially with tough convos like kids and marriage. We share how we aligned our hearts and steps on the road to “I do.”

Caring for aging parents changed everything. LaShan shares how he found peace in singleness after nearly 20 years of marriage, and the shift that changed his outlook on life.

Men don’t often talk about feeling broken, but we do. We open up about “crisis mode,” hidden pain, and what happens when married life turns into living separate lives.

How do Christians date with integrity? We don’t have all the answers, but we do have real talk. Here’s how communication kept us accountable and helped us walk in truth.

When we pray, God moves. LaShan shares the prayer that changed everything, and how God brought healing, clarity, and a second chance at real love.

Avoiding tough convos out of fear? Been there. We share how honesty early on brought freedom, connection, and the peace that comes from telling the whole truth.

After heartbreak and healing, we made a promise: game recognizes game. Here’s how we knew this time was different, and the signs that let us know love had truly arrived.

🎶 “Talkin’ bout us, baby…”We’re dating with purpose this time, and that means having the kind of conversations that don’t just feel good, but build something real.

In this episode, we’re talkin’ about the moments early in our journey when we had to put it all on the table—faith, expectations, boundaries, past wounds, and future hopes. Because dating as a Christian isn’t just about being cute and quoting scripture. It’s about clarity, communication, and keeping God at the center from the start.

We get into:💬 How to communicate truth without killing the vibe💬 The boundaries we needed (and why they mattered)💬 Learning to listen, not just talk💬 Why honesty with God and self makes room for love to grow

This one’s for anyone who’s tired of surface-level situationships and ready to date with vision. The second time around? We’re not guessing—we’re talkin’ bout us.
