How Jessica Met Jared: Met as Kids, Flirted at a Club, and Didn't Say "I Love You" Until Proposal
<p>In this episode of the How’d You Meet Podcast, Lauren sits down with Jess and Jared McGaffin to hear the story of how they met, a story that began long before they ever started dating.</p><br><p>Jess and Jared first met as children at school and grew up in the same church community, their lives quietly intersecting over the years. During that time, Jess felt a strong sense from the Lord that Jared would one day be her husband, a moment that would take years to unfold.</p><br><p>After many years of knowing each other but not being close, the two connected on a night out clubbing, and what followed was the beginning of a relationship built on intentionality, patience, and deep care for one another. From long skateboard rides just to spend time together, to choosing not to say “I love you” until the moment of the proposal, their story is both unique and deeply meaningful.</p><br><p>Together, we talk about timing, trust, and what it looks like to build a relationship with purpose and conviction.</p><br><p>Jess and Jared’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes God’s plans unfold over time, and often in ways we don’t expect.</p><p>If you wish to contact the host, Lauren Francis, please email howdyoumeetpod@gmail.com</p><br><p>You can also follow her on socials @laurenmayf_</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

How Lorrene Met Owen: Online Dating Before It Was Normal, Meeting up in the Middle of Nowhere, and Finding Her Boaz
<p>In this episode of The How’d You Meet Podcast, Lauren sits down with blogger and photographer from Moments to Rest and operations manager at Life FM Adelaide, Lorrene McClymont, to hear the story of how she met her husband, Owen.</p><br><p>Long before dating apps were common, Lorrene and Owen connected through online dating nearly 20 years ago. Living in different states and both navigating life after previous marriages with children, they decided to take a leap of faith and meet halfway between their homes, in the middle of nowhere, without telling anyone.</p><br><p>What followed was the beginning of a relationship built on courage, honesty, and a willingness to trust God with the unknown. In a remarkable moment of timing, Lorrene’s mum felt prompted by God with the word “Boaz,” believing a godly man was about to enter Lorrene’s life, without knowing Lorrene had just connected with Owen.</p><br><p>Together, we talk about second chances at love, blending families, and what it looks like to pursue a healthy, faith-filled relationship later in life. Lorrene’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most unexpected beginnings lead to the most meaningful love stories.</p><br><p>Lorrene's Blog Moments To Rest: https://momentstorestblog.com/</p><p>If you wish to contact the host, Lauren Francis, please email howdyoumeetpod@gmail.com</p><br><p>You can also follow her on socials @laurenmayf_</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
