Did you know that sexual sin is the only sin we are told to flee from in the Bible? We are told to turn away or repent from every other sin, but sexual sin we are told to flee from.

So let's talk about how that is and can affect our minds and hearts as Waysters.

When do you have to be on the same page in regards to commitment in the relationship? All this seems like a big topic to swallow, especially for people who struggle with commitment. So let's talk about it.
Do we tend to flake? Do we commit and drop out last minute? As a culture that has idolized flexibility, I'd argue that we have a tendency to overbook ourselves or commit to things we can't do, with the assumption that nothing is ever set in stone.

In this section of our lives as young adults, it feels like most of us have got this one BIG thing on our mind pretty consistently: DATING. We all want companionship. We want a connection.

Let's be honest, percentage-wise, it is 100% easier to not do something than it is to do something. There's no risk in doing nothing. There's no chance we'll be uncomfortable.

Being comfortable in life is impossible and this week, we're gonna chat about some areas in our lives as Waysters, we need to be okay being uncomfortable in. So let's dive in!
SPOILER ALERT The past few weeks we've discussed how cancel culture and offense have affected our society, and how we, as Waysters (followers of Christ), are called to act amidst all of this chaos.

So this week, we're gonna dive into what exactly he meant and how that relates to us today. So let's go!

If so, what kind of stuff should we cancel? Let's dive into all these questions and more in the second part of our now three part series, "Cancelled"!
Do we control whether or not we're offended? In today's culture, this is a question we need to ask ourselves as followers of God.

So let's dive right in and talk about it, in this week's episode of our three part series.
