   Ep. 72 - Where Have We Been??

   After a a four-month hiatus, Josh and Andrew return to The Ardent Pursuit to share what has kept them away. In this completely unscripted episode, they discuss why changing locations does not solve the challenges of modern dating and explore the continued need for men to pursue with clarity, courage, and intentionality. Josh also introduces his forthcoming book, Grow Up. Be a Man., a 30-day field guide to biblical masculinity, and Andrew reads a favorite part that offers listeners a preview of what the soon-to-be-released book will cover.

   Ep. 71 - Getting From “First Date” to “We’re Dating”

   Why do most relationships fail before they even start? Because men are winging it. In this episode, we break down a better way to pursue a woman—without confusion, mixed signals, or unnecessary drama. From how to ask, to what to say, to where to meet, this is your blueprint for leading with clarity, confidence, and intention. Stop guessing. Start leading.

   Ep. 70 - From Single to 7 Kids (Pt. 2)

   In Part 2, Ben and Keila share the unforgettable story of their relationship built on intentionality, faith, and a fearless pursuit. From living-room conversations and pastoral counsel to international travel, family gatekeepers, and immigration hurdles, their journey redefines modern dating. No ambiguity. No emotional entanglement. No wasted time. Just purpose, community, and a man willing to put everything on the line. This episode challenges passive romance and “wait-and-see” dating culture with a bold alternative: pursue with intentionality, invite accountability, and move forward even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.
