We’re back with Episode 3 of Season 2 — and this one goes deep.

This week, we’re tackling a conversation many try to avoid: abstinence. What does it really mean to stay pure in a world that glorifies everything but? How do you walk out your commitment to Christ when temptation is loud, and culture makes it feel like you're the only one saying no?

We’re joined by our surprise guests — the men of the IndueSzn Podcast — as we talk about what it looks like to become whole in Christ before stepping into a relationship. This episode unpacks the reality of choosing abstinence, the struggles that come with it, and the grace that covers us when we’ve fallen short.

Whether you’re currently abstinent, struggling to commit, or healing from a sexually broken past — there’s room for you in this conversation. We talk about:

Walking in purpose while denying the flesh

Not letting shame define your story

How to honor your body and your future spouse

Why abstinence isn't just physical, but spiritual too

This episode is raw, real, and full of truth — and we pray it blesses you.

👑 Plus, we’re officially inviting you to join us in person at our Faith & Flourish Women’s Retreat, happening September 5–7 at Lake Norman, NC! This powerful weekend is all about resting, realigning, and reconnecting with your purpose. This retreat is for women ready to grow in their faith, rest, and reset.

Welcome to Season 2: Becoming Whole. In this powerful opener, we’re getting real about boundaries, self-worth, and why overgiving in casual relationships is not the move. This episode dives into what it means to act like a wife without a title—and how that can leave your heart tangled in confusion, not covenant. We’re unpacking: Why guarding your heart is godly, not guarded The danger of performing to be picked How culture confuses convenience with commitment The real meaning of wholeness in Christ (before the ring, the title, or the "what are we") How to reset the standard and wait well Scripture is all up in this one—from Proverbs 4:23 to Song of Solomon 8:4—and we’re not holding back on real-life stories, truth-telling, and healing reminders. Whether you’re single, dating, or just reflecting, this episode will challenge you to stop settling, reclaim your worth, and become whole in Christ first. 📍 ✨ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple & YouTube → 🔔 👀 Turn on post notifications so you never miss an upload 📸 Follow us on IG: @authenticnchristpodcast 📸 Follow us on TikTok:@authenticnchrist8 🌐 Visit the site: authenticnchrist.com

This is our very first episode of the new season, and we’re kicking it off with a real one: Dating as a Christian Woman—Why is it SO ghetto?! Ghosting, dry convos, confusion, and trying to stay rooted in Christ… yeah, we’re talking about it all. In Season 1, we focused on faith—what it means to truly trust God in every season. From waiting well to walking through confusion, disappointment, and uncertainty, Season 1 reminded us to hold on to faith no matter what aspect of life you’re in. Now in Season 2, we’re diving deeper into relationships—with God, yourself, your friendships, and your romantic life. This season is all about how to navigate relationships without losing your identity in Christ. We missed y’all and cannot wait to grow with you through this next chapter! We missed y’all, and we’re so excited to continue this journey with you.
