Step right on up if you have a teen that’s starting to date or if the sheer thought of it makes you break into a cold sweat.    There are so many questions behind the topic of dating and how to best shepherd our kids when they start down this road. Thankfully, we’re tackling it this week with Steve Frissell, an Executive Pastor at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas.    Steve and his wife have been married for 26 years and the story he shares of their high school dating mishap is not one you will soon forget. They have six children now and Steve has an incredible word on balancing truth with grace when walking our kids through dating. He also shares ideas on conversations we need to have with our kids and thoughts on purity culture if you grew up in that era like so many of us.    When I tell you that this is a podcast you need to hear—well, this is a podcast you need to hear.    And just in case you missed it last week, the next few months we are going to be digging deep into the “real truth” behind common issues we face in our spiritual lives, parenting, and just in life generally (like dating).    Here are a few coming your way the next few weeks: Real truth in marriage with Gary Thomas Real truth in anxiety with Louie Gigglio Real truth on gaming with Grant Dixon  Real truth about the Holy Spirit with Max Lucado   I can’t wait for you to hear today’s conversation with Steve Frissell!   Resources from today's show:  Steve Frissell on Instagram Riverbend Friends A Parent’s Prayer Guide: Key Psalms to Pray Over Your Kids
