From feminism to femininity, Delores King shares how her change brought peace to her marriage and a platform to teach her seven daughters how to grow their own marriages. She now compliments her husband rather than competes with him, and calls all women to the same. I was fascinated by her story and knew I had to bring her onto the podcast! 

Is purity all about not having sex before marriage, or is there far more to giving our spouse the best version of ourselves? What about those with previous regrets and relationships? Does being a virgin guarantee a successful marriage? Join me for a refreshing, holistic view of what it means to enter marriage with genuine love.

Is turning someone down really rejection? What about being turned down, or having either of you end a relationship? I dare say these are not rejections but an invitation to discover something better--either personal growth, or someone who simply fits us better. Either way, confidence means being able to view a relationship objectively, and coming away a better person. 

Sometimes "the list" we come up with is a spiritualized way of sticking with our "type". How can a preconceived idea of what our partner has to be  like keep us from discovering love that is everything we need, yet nothing we expect? Creating an idealistic version of a person that does not exist in real life can keep us from enjoying love right in front of us.

How does understanding this affect dating and marriage? All this and more discussed candidly, here. Welcome to Real Talk with Sara, where conversation matters!

Why Religion Can't Satisfy Itself in GodWhat happens when we impose extra Biblical ideas onto ourselves or others in an effort to be "spiritual"? Forcing ourselves into fabricated holiness robs us of abundant life and joy-filled purpose. Let;s talk about the difference between true holiness and a self-imposed infliction of religious ideas in an effort to be holy. 

How does denial of our pain create alternative realities in our minds? The stories we tell ourselves become the voices our children hear. How do we live in truth when our minds want to take us elsewhere?

Join Jason on this brand-new episode of The Obligation after summer break when he sits down with Aamir Amjad of Pakistan.  Aamir is an accomplished development specialist and public policy advocate, with a Master’s degree in Political Science and a Master of Philosophy (M. Phil.) in Peace and Conflict Studies from the National Defense University (NDU) in Islamabad, Pakistan. He has done his fellowships at the University Of Rohde Island, USA, and the International Academy of Leadership (IAF), Germany. He has held various managerial and coordination positions in Pakistan, where he has specialized in campaigning for human and minority rights, advocacy, research development, and peace and nonviolence education.
Jason and Aamir discuss the heightened religious persecution going on in his country under the abusive blasphemy laws which target Christians under false pretext.  Muslims make up 98% of the population in Pakistan and the targeting of other religions with violence, threats, and false accusations are on the rise.  Violations of the so-called blasphemy laws are punishable with up to ten years in prison and even death.  Make sure to tune in and hear this impactful story of faith amidst persecution.

Shutting down or becoming abrasive with our words in the name of honesty—there’s a better way! What if we could wake another’s desire to hear us rather than close up Let's talk about how and when to speak when we're upset or another is upset with us. 

How can women express their needs in ways that value others rather than criticize them for not being "enough"? Join Sara and Jessica as they vulnerably share personal stories of growth in this area!
