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.

Is it ever too early to date? This week on Route 77, Natasha, Monique, and David open up about their own experiences with dating (and misdating), especially during those wild teenage years. From emotional highs to heartbreaks, we unpack why emotional maturity, timing, and spiritual grounding matter before stepping into a relationship. Whether you're a teen, a parent, or just someone wondering if you're ready, this episode is for you.

Verse of the Week: Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

What if the thing stealing your joy isn’t your circumstances—but your impatience with them? In this episode, we’re unpacking the subtle danger of restlessness, especially for those navigating life as a single person. Inspired by a paraphrased quote from Elisabeth Elliot, we explore how constantly reaching for what’s next can blind us to the goodness God is offering right now.

Through Scripture, stories, and honest conversation, we’ll talk about trusting God’s timing, finding peace in the unknown, and learning how to wait well—not because we have all the answers, but because we know the One who does.
