Cade

Hey, Sadie.

My name is Cade.

I'm a college student here in Dallas, Texas.

And I know it's probably a little unusual for a guy to be calling your podcast, but I grew up watching you on Duck Dynasty and

And I see the wonderful relationship you have with your husband.

You have a beautiful family.

So I'm calling to get some advice for myself and other young men out there trying to find a Christian relationship with a young woman in today's crazy world.

And once you're in that relationship, how do you keep it Jesus-centered, God-centered?

especially in this crazy world.

The two greatest longings of the human heart are intimacy and impact.

I want to be known and cared for and loved, and I want to be a part of something bigger than me and worthy of my life.

But I realized for me, all my dating relationships were such chaos, and I didn't have the awareness to know a lot of that was coming from some broken wiring in my own head, from family of origin stuff that I hadn't really processed.

I was like, okay.

And he said, I want you to preach on parenting.

I was like, what?

I'm 21.

I'm like, what?

And so I was chasing the Lord building the youth ministry and the Lord was surrounding me with godly wisdom.

So I'd be ready for a healthy relationship.

yeah that's a good question you know I'll tell you guiding principles I think for me and then you can fill in with color commentary but you know I mentioned a lot of like you want to be running the same cause you know because if you link your life up together with somebody you go what direction is your life going and so that's where I think you've got to get a relationship with God right first because if someone says I want to honor Jesus he's my Lord you don't want to marry someone who says he's not mine right
