When someone you love doesn’t share your faith, how do you stay faithful to God while staying close to them? Today Dot and Cara unpack 2 Corinthians 6:14 in context, discussing what “bound together” does and doesn’t mean. They get practical about close friendships, marriage to a nonbeliever, and setting wise boundaries. You’ll hear how to be a light without becoming a judge, how to let God be God, and how to participate with God through prayer!
