Podcast 192: Relationship Red Flags & Green Flags

At some point in the lives of young adults, dates begin to narrow from showing someone a nice time or enjoying a social activity with a friend to “OK, which of these folks are husband or wife material?” (Or, equally important, “Am I husband or wife material?”) On today’s episode, we take a listener question and apply some biblical thinking to the question of “red flags” and “green flags” concerning the sort of people we should be looking for—and striving to be—as the possibilities of marriage open up.

During the episode, we also mention old podcasts we’ve done on dating, as well as some other resources. Here is a filtering of this website that should collect a number of resources that mention dating—not just podcasts, but some articles, as well.

Podcast 135: When Honoring Your Parents Seems Difficult

God wants us to obey His commands even when they are difficult to obey. And, in a broken world, even the Fifth Commandment—to honor our father and mother—can present real challenges. Today, we discuss some of those challenges and how to approach them.

Also, in this episode we highlight a fantastic sermon in which Mr. Rod McNair discusses some children with a very famous—or, perhaps, infamous—father and how they ultimately honored him. You can watch it here on YouTube: “The Surprising Legacy of the Sons of Korah.”

Podcast 130: Get to Know Your Parents

In the earliest and most formative years of our lives, our parents are our closest neighbors. Yet, if we’re not careful, the time will slip away and we will find we missed out on opportunities to really know them. Invest in that relationship early: Make an effort to get to know your parents.

In today’s podcast, we refer to a commentary written by Thomas White titled “A Little Sonder” about the sense you get that the people around you have full, rich, real lives like the one you experience moment to moment. Click here to read it.
