78: Navigating Singleness, Dating, and Eating Disorder Recovery w/ Grace McCready
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've been asking yourself whether you're physically, emotionally, and spiritually prepared for a relationship, or if you're navigating what dating looks like when food and body image are still really tender, this one's for you.
Grace McCready is back with a story from her first date. She discovered her date had made health an idol instead of keeping Jesus first. Her takeaway? Both people need their priorities straight, not just the one in recovery.
You'll hear how to know if you're really ready, why being "pretty okay" with body image isn't always enough, and how even small decisions you make today can honor your future spouse. Grace also shares questions to help you think through spiritual readiness and why working on surrender and humility now is really great preparation for marriage.
