About a year ago, I started the MFM Podcast with the debut podcast titled "Traveling While Celibate". Sam and I had just come from Puerto Rico for his 30th birthday and after over 2 years of abstinence (now about 3 years), I wanted to shed some light on how Sam and I travel while being a couple practicing celibacy. Since then, our opinions on the topic have changed a little. From having conversati...

Today we’re talking about the idolization of marriage and social media women ministers. I want to talk about this because not only is this something that I have been guilty of in the past, but it is something that I feel is the horrible new norm of young adult Christianity and it’s plaguing what Christianity really is.

Today Sam and I talk about what 2016 has taught us about courting each other.

Biblically, what does it truly mean to be feminine?

While the holidays are great times where families get together, it is also the time where families get together, meaning, the time where everyone wants to meddle into your business. Are you dating, when are you getting married, how is school, what are you studying again, is there any money in that, I don’t think you should, and any and every other question family will bring themselves to ask. Now,...

You may be evaluating or re-evaluating your circle of friends, or maybe you’re like I was, just trying to figure out how to tackle the idea of friendship.

I hope that you guys have had a great week. This week, I want to talk about needing therapy.
