Resist the urge to spread the shocking news. 2. Pray for the believer wholeheartedly. 3. Reach out to the believer if you have access to them or ask their friend to do so. 4.

EP 23: A conversation on age gaps in dating relationships

EP 23: A conversation on age gaps in dating relationships

I believe age is not always just a number. When it comes to a dating relationship, it's essential to choose your partner intelligently. You are likely to get married to this person. Even with the right person, the age gap between you and your partner can influence the quality of your relationship. So, you should carefully consider its implications for your relationship. In this episode, I discuss 5 things to consider about age gaps when choosing a partner: 1. Besides the age gap, does the person meet your non-negotiable requirements in a partner? Does God approve of this person for you? 2. How is your friendship with this person? 3. Do you respect each other? 4. Do your life plans and timeline for achieving these plans align?  5. Are you okay with the social implications of choosing this person? Listen, learn & enjoy! Let me know what stood out for you or if you have any questions here: https://coloursandflavours.com/a-conversation-on-age-gaps-in-dating-relationships For more on what to consider before you say yes to a relationship, check out this episode – 6 areas to gain clarity before you commit to someone Be sure to share this post with your friends too.

EP 1: Not doing whatever you want

EP 1: Not doing whatever you want

Being a believer means that you no longer get to always do whatever feels good to you. Your life is no longer yours.
When you accept Christ as your lord that means you seek to do what pleases Him regardless of your feelings.
The teaching referenced in this episode is "The welfare code" by Pst. Iren, available on the Celebration Church Int'l podcast.
