Let’s be honest—pursuing purity while dating someone you’re seriously into can feel next to impossible

The butterflies are real, the chemistry is strong, and suddenly you’re wondering... is kissing too far? What about cuddling on the couch? Holding hands? Where's the line?!

Navigating physical boundaries in a dating relationship isn’t always black and white—and it can be so confusing. But here’s the thing: honoring God and each other is totally possible, even when the sparks are flying.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the struggles, the questions, and the practical steps that helped us set Christ-honoring boundaries and actually stick to them. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep it holy while falling hard, this one’s for you.
