Friends we just need to let out a sigh… this episode today means so much to our team here at Heart of Dating. It has been about a year since everything was released regarding the allegations against Harvey Weinstein that led to the start of the Me, Too Movement. We could not think of a better time than now to dive into what we think about this as Christians, especially from the male perspective.

We have anticipated releasing this episode for a while and think you will love the realness and richness of the conversation.. NOW more than ever.

So today Kait brought on 3 of her guy friends who she admires in SO many ways. Each of them have such beautiful hearts, and truly grasped what it means to love and respect women wholeheartedly, while also learning how to wrestle with their own personal identities as men.

So let's introduce our guests!

Today we have Johan Khalilian. He uses his life story to help people of all ages believe in the power of their dreams and the impact their life can make in the world around them. He is incredibly REAL and shameless about being vulnerable and we love it.

Then we have Kris Wolfe. Kris is a CLASSIC good guy, because he inspires other men to be their BEST selves. He says "A nice guy is a doormat, but a good guy leaves a monument.” He has written some amazing books including Black Tie, and 10 ways to win a girls heart, and also runs an online ministry called Good Guy Swag.

Last but not least Ryan Gunnarson. Ryan is an actor and motivator. He and his wife Aquella have been on the podcast before sharing their story earlier this year, and together they co-created a platform on IG @thatonemarriedcouple to encourage laughter and growth in relationships. We love Ryan’s heart and were super pumped he wanted to come back on.

Some overall themes today:
-There is HOPE… but a lot of work to do.This movement has been a catalyst to start change for the future.
-Do men truly understand the gravity of the problem?
-How can we embrace and love those who have been affected?
-How can men truly be an active part of the change?
-How is the church addressing this issue?
-How can we champion the people who have been victimized... are we even followers of Christ if we don’t?
-Have we turned into a culture a complacency within the church?
-Is okay to just be known as a "good guy" but not say anything?
-How can we empower men to step out and say something?
