Season 3, episode 7: "Love and Marriage in the You Do You Era."

When relationships are simply an additional tool for you to be "your best self" or to find who you are...then you know you're living in the You do You Era.

Today we chat about how love, and marriage itself, has been influenced by the junk values of the YDYE. But, we don't just whine and complain. We also turn to the New Testament, especially Paul's theology of submission, in order to beckon Christians back to a cross-centered foundation for our most intimate relationships.
