We are super excited to have returning guest Dr. Sam Andreades, this time with his wife Mary K., on the podcast. Lucas and Elle sit down with them to chat all things dating. Using Dr. Andreades book Dating with Discernment as a guide, amongst other things we chat about breaking up, how to cultivate security and rest in a relationship and what it means to be on mission.
