We’ve all heard the verse: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.” Most people think of it only when it comes to marriage. But is that all it applies to? In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be “equally yoked,” why this matters so much in dating, and how it can shape our closest friendships, business partnerships, and everyday decisions. Join us as we share personal stories, biblical insights, and practical advice on choosing relationships that help us walk in step with our faith.

We all know the warning to “wait for marriage,” but too often the conversation stops at sex. What about the emotional, spiritual, and mental intimacy that builds long before? In this episode of the Route 77 Podcast dating series, Natasha, Monique, and David dig into how other forms of closeness can push boundaries, set up unrealistic expectations, and even lead to the very physical temptation you’re trying to avoid.

We’ll share personal stories, practical guardrails, and biblical wisdom like Proverbs 4:23—“Above all else, guard your heart.” If you’re dating, thinking about it, or want to disciple someone who is, join us as we talk about protecting your whole heart in the pursuit of godly love.

In this episode of the Route 77 Podcast, Natasha and Monique tackle the real question: Why do we date at all? Is it just for fun, to avoid loneliness, or because we feel pressure from church culture? Or is there a deeper, biblical purpose behind it?

Together, they explore the importance of spiritual maturity, the danger of dating too early—especially for new believers—and how emotional and spiritual entanglement can cause more harm than we realize. With personal stories and straight talk, this conversation invites you to rethink your reasons and reset your expectations.

Whether you're dating, waiting, or just wondering what comes next, this episode offers a Christ-centered perspective you don’t want to miss.
