Welcome back to this last and final episode 4 family! We are so sad to say goodbye, but we’ve had such an amazing season!! Our gracious host, Sloane, is recapping the highlights and her biggest takeaways. There are so many aspects of dating, And dating as a Christian, adds another layer of complexity. So this season, we wanted to focus on the dating phase by getting some insight into what it means, how to date God’s way, and talking to real live Christians who are out there and doing it. Things have changed so much over the years. We’ve gone from arranged marriages to dating apps, and many of us are still learning to navigate through all of the culture shifts. We wanted Becoming the One Podcast to help answer some of these hard questions and give insight to Christian singles. “Sometimes we tend to look at the beginning of a thing and the end of a thing. But, the meat of it is in the middle — the actual process." And, that’s a wrap, ladies and gentlemen! We are so grateful that you joined us at Becoming the One Podcast, Season 4!

Today we’re going to tackle the challenges of living pure after promiscuity!

Joining us today, we have Laterras Whitfield. He is a TOU member and a man of God who opens up and shares his journey to freedom. In our culture today, the term promiscuity is typically assigned to women, and men who sleep around are considered more desirable or ungettable. But we know that God holds all of his children to the same standards. “Honesty is telling the truth when a question is asked, but transparency is telling what they don’t even know to ask.” You can follow Laterras on YouTube at “Dear Future Wifey” or on Instagram @Laterrasrwhitfield!
