Today on the podcast, I'm excited to interview my grandparents, David and Betty Gjesdal! They have been married for fifty-eight years, and I am excited for you to listen in as they share what the Lord has taught them through their marriage. Tune in to hear my grandparents share how they met and knew that this was the one; the importance of the vows we make; what they learned about marriage through different seasons of life; advice for singles and young marrieds; and more! I was so blessed to chat with my grandparents about godly marriage, and I know you will be, too!

I was so blessed by this discussion with Christina, and I know you will be too!

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Nakia Keim to talk all things dating! We dive into whether dating is a biblical concept (or should we have arranged marriages instead?), non-negotiables, how to discern someone's true character, the importance of accountability, and more! 
Nakia Keim is passionate about her relationship with Jesus and seeks to help others feel that passion as well. She writes a blog where she talks about everything in life: faith, relationships, hot topics in society, personal growth, mindset, and so much more. Her goal with that is to get people thinking about the deep stuff. If you want to get her excited then talk about scripture, health and wellness, and bread! Nakia currently works as a Chiropractic Assistant. She also serves as a leader for the young adult and youth programs at her church. Apart from that she loves to bake, shoot, cook, hang out with family and read, along with building her own ecommerce platform for health and wellness. Her passion is Jesus and she's on a mission to help her fellow believers with their walk.

This spring, we're going through a relationship series. Part one is all about singleness. What does the Bible say about singleness? Does Paul say that singleness is better than marriage? Or is marriage better than singleness? All these questions and more will be answered in today's episode! 
Also, coming up in June will be a Q&A episode! If you have any relationship questions you want answered (or any questions about what the Bible says about different topics!), leave a comment on this episode or send me a DM on Instagram so I can answer them!

Monday Mar 17, 2025

Monday Mar 17, 2025

Have you ever felt discouraged about your walk with the Lord? Do you ever feel like it’s three steps forward and one step back—or one step forward and three steps back when it comes to growing in Christ? I know exactly how that feels! The answer lies with understanding the process of sanctification. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack what sanctification is and how the grace of God works in our lives. I hope you’ll walk away encouraged! Shop our study resources here: payhip.com/kelseyleewritesllc

Today on the podcast, we're discussing a trend I recently learned about on Tiktok contrasting the Proverbs 31 and Judges 4 woman and asking the questions: can we really compare the Proverbs 31 woman and the Judges 4 woman, is it really an either-or situation, and what does it look like to be a godly woman?

Gen Z is one of the loneliest generations in history, despite all the technology that was supposed to help us feel more connected than ever. What does the Bible say about friendships?

Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Tina Marie, a recent high-school grad with a passion for sharing the gospel with Gen-Z, to discuss self-harm. This is a big issue among Gen-Z, so we sat down to talk about it from a biblical perspective. I know you’ll walk away encouraged by Tina’s wisdom!
