The last episode was about receiving hype. This episode is about receiving unwarranted hate/discouragement.
What strategies can we take to not let hate discourage us?
Don't assume their motives, pray for your detractors often, and recognize that some of the pain they're transferring is coming from an unresolved place of hurt.
When it comes to feedback, don't internalize one-off comments and consider it as authoritative as God's word. Sometimes, we just have different preferences and that's okay.

What if the everyday temptations we face are causing us to stray further from the path of righteousness? When we discuss the allure of lustful thoughts and adultery, we aren't simply theorizing, but sharing real-life experiences. We share an encounter involving meeting Steve Ferrara's widow and the struggle faced when an attractive woman was present, underscoring the necessity of checking our thoughts and actions. We dissect the biblical perspective on adultery, emphasizing that it's more common than we think - with 25% of married men engaging in extramarital affairs.
We don't just stop at identifying the problem; we explore solutions, especially in how we perceive women. We stress the need for men to see women as God's daughters, and as someone's wife. We advocate for open discussions about these issues, because it's through these conversations that we can hold each other accountable.

What is God's best for us in dating?
More men in the 18-44 years bracket have cohabitated than have tied the knot. This paradigm shift from marriage to cohabitation is influenced by several factors, including high housing costs, income issues, and society's growing acceptance of cohabitation. But is this really helpful in dating?
We won't stop at just examining trends, we'll also dive into the repercussions of cohabitation. Uncover the delicate balance between physical and emotional capital in relationships and why the notion of platonic relationships is almost non-existent in cohabitation.
