40 | Cuffing Season
Cuffing season is upon us but don't believe the hype. There are real things to consider before jumping into temporary relationships, even when the weather is getting cold. On this episode host Michelle Lenae and her guests Kristen and Carl share their experiences with cuffing season and how temporary dating relates to God's Word.
Some major takeaways:
1. Cuffing season is a dating game and can have real impacts our physical, mental, and spiritual being.
2. God has created us mind, body, and spirit. They are all connected.
3. 1 Corinthians: 18-19 calls us to honor God with our bodies. It says "You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God."
4. Don't be afraid to spend quiet time with God, even when society tells you its time for you to be in a relationship. If it's not your time, it's not your time. When it is your time, it is your time. There's a season for everything.
5. Get to know the indicators of healthy and unhealthy relationships and soul ties.

18 | Bible 101: Learning how to Read and Study the Bible Responsibly
Mind. Body. [Soul] series.
Bible 101! Have you ever thought about reading the Bible all the way through? Well I have and what I can say is, it's not as easy as I thought. So, I've brought in one of the most amazing Bible scholars I know, Pastor Kim Orr, to help me break this thang down! In this episode, we debunk myths, discuss the difference between reading vs. studying the Bible, and walk through an example of how one might go about studying the Bible responsibly whether its their first time opening the Bible for themselves or their eleven-hundredth time! One thing I've found out is that there's always something to learn from the Bible and it doesn't have to be a daunting task to read the whole thing when you do it in a safe community where you can stumble, fall, and ask questions. I love this topic and I've been wanting to do it since I started this podcast! You're in for a treat! Plus, Pastor Kim is coming out with her own podcast "Defining Faith" where they take faith words and define them and clear up any misunderstandings about them. Head over to their Facebook Page "Defining Faith" to check them out and send over faith based words that you're curious about!
