Truth for your Twenties

The WHY behind the wait

Truth for your Twenties

Show Notes

Nearly all of my most popular social media videos are about the WHY behind the wait. I get the most feedback, DM's, and shares of people wanting to have more conversations about what it looks like to wait for sex for marriage, and HOW to make that possible. It's not purity culture but it's not hookup culture either. It is God's design for sex no matter your past or present. It's the messy middle and I think we need more conversations here so I recorded a podcast on it! Here are the links I mentioned in the episode:

Honestly, most of us spend our 20s switching majors, job-hopping, and questioning if we're on the right path. It’s messy, unpredictable — and totally normal. Your calling isn’t a one-time discovery; it’s an evolving journey and definitely something worth chatting about.
