Episode 237: Navigating Relationships with Unbelievers

Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

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! Grab your Bible, journal, and a cup of coffee and join us.

Scripture Verse: 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NASB1995)
Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?
