Send us a textI want to give a huge shout out to Dr. Doug Weiss and his training for Christian teen girls called "Princes Take Longer than Frogs." Dr. Weiss is a psychologist and the founder of Heart to Heart Counseling Center. Much of the information I am sharing with you, I learned from him. This week, we are going to talk about dating. Some of you have started dating and it's okay with your parents.Some of you have started dating and are hiding it from your parents...which I totally don't recommend! Listen to your parents, they love you!Some of you want to date, but you're waiting for someone to tell you they like you. Some of you are waiting to date until it's okay with your parents or until you are ready to get married (which I totally recommend!)Frogs or Princes? Who to look for when you do start dating?There are two types of guys in the world: frogs and princes. A prince takes longer to mature than a frog does. The younger you start to date, the more likely you will end up with a frog. You want to wait long enough for God to develop a man who is good enough for you! What a Frog Looks Like:Frogs are motivated by fear. They will tell you things like, “You won't do _____ because you don't love me.” Frogs have secret sins. 86% of guys by the time they turn 20 are addicted to porn. What he is doing sexually in secret will hurt you. Frogs are liars. They will tell you what you want to hear to win you. What a Prince Looks Like?Princes hate fear. They may have fears, but they are challenged by them. They have strong relationships with either their Christian dad or with an adult male role model who loves God and is helping them learn what it means to be a strong man of God.They have strong Christian guy friends who are helping them to grow in their walk with God.Princes want to protect your relationship with God and your purity.Princes have a clear sense of who GLadies, we have some exciting news!

Where God creates life, Satan desires death: death of intimacy, death of health, death of mental well being…. Since Satan can't create anything, all he can do is pervert what God has created. He does this in every arena of God's Creation. Satan is the father of LIES and is always twisting and perverting God's Creation in order to steal the Glory away from God. This has certainly happened with one of God's most beautiful creations, SEX!  So how has Satan perverted Sex in the minds of our youth and in our culture? What can we do to heal our brain and bring it back to the condition God desires?  Our guest, Dr. Douglas Weiss, is a psychologist and the founder of Heart to Heart Counseling Center which specializes in the treatment of sexual addicts, intimacy anorexics and their spouses. Learn how sex was originally designed, how Satan perverted sex, and how we bring healing to a broken world.   Watch this Podcast on Video at https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/how-satan-perverted-sex/ Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.

Hello my friends! I hope that this show is helpful to you & helps you find the courage to confess your sins to the one that you love or that it offers resources and encouragement for your partner to speak truth to you! Satan loses his grip when the foundation of your marriage is God & truth. It's not easy-in fact confession is really, REALLY hard but your partner deserves truth just as you deserve the FREEDOM that comes from living in truth. Stay BLESSED & encouraged!

Join Dr. Holmes as she interviews Dr. Doug Weiss of Heart to Heart Counseling and they discuss Emotional Fitness, as many on the spectrum struggle with alexithymia. While the book is not about Autism/Asperger's, Dr. Weiss' book is an excellent resource for people of faith and is recommended by Dr. Holmes for counselors, ministers, coaches, chaplains to use in ministry and counseling with those who are NeuroDiverse.Alexithymia is a common feature with NeuroDiversity (including ADHD and Autism/Asperger's).Alexithymia means without the word for emotion and it can manifest in difficulty expressing or naming one's emotions or being able to articulate one's emotions. While Dr. Holmes discusses alexithymia in adults in the concept of marriage, this is a good listen for parents of children on the spectrum as well. Have you been frustrated because you ask your child or spouse how are you feeling and the answer is, "I don't know"? This is often a legitimate answer.I used to use Emotional Intelligence or EQ materials in counseling with adults, but when I found this book by Dr. Weiss from a Christian point of view speaking to anyone who struggles with emotional fitness, I began using this book to help NeuroDiverse spouses work on feelings and expressing feelings.About Dr. Weiss:Dr. Douglas Weiss is a psychologist and the founder of Heart to Heart Counseling Center, which specializes in the treatment of sexual addicts, intimacy anorexics, and their spouses.
