Every time I listen I walk away with something. But I few nights ago I told God I didn’t know how to surrender a dream that had been in my heart for as long as I could remember. I literally didn’t know how. When I say God answered not only answered me but answered so much more. Lauren, thank you for being obedient to the word Holy Spirit put in you.

Dates, Mates, and Babies is honest, relevant, and God-centered. Jason and Lauren have challenged, encouraged, and equipped me to pursue thriving relationships with my parents, friends, future husband, and future kids. They answer the hard questions and cover topics that church doesn’t always discuss. I want to express my upmost gratitude for their commitment to this podcast. I’m nineteen years old and so thankful I started listening now!

This couple’s time they have invested into this podcast has helped my marriage so much. We have been together since we were 12 and 13 and navigated a lot of life together. We have so much hope for our future with your practical tools for freedom inside of relationship. Thank you for being obedient to the calling of this podcast. I am forever grateful.

I love the Valotton's practical perspectives. Very useful and encourage and convicting and inspiring all at once! They will definitely grow on you and learn to love them and appreciate their vulnerability!

Tripped over this podcast searching for another, and I’m thrilled I did! I’ve been happily married for 26 years and I’m raising teenagers, 17 year old twins, and every podcast I learn something applicable to my life! Grateful for y’all! May God bless you abundantly!

Thank you for taking the time to talk about such real and challenging issues. A lot of what you discuss, I really can’t find any other good information out there on these topics. I’m a Christian going through a very rough season in my marriage and this has been a great source. My husband has been super involved in Braveco as well. I’m always sharing the show with others!

This is one of the few podcasts as a busy mom that I look forward to every week. Love the way this couple dialogues through so many topics. They give so much quality content in a short amount of time. I also highly recommend brave co podcast for any men reading this. My husband and I are both growing so much through learning from these amazing people!

This podcast has legitimately changed my life. The wisdom, experiential knowledge, and practical application that Jason and Lauren share for relational health, as well as personal emotional health, will grow you exponentially if you lean into it, put some action in, and allow the process to take place! So beyond grateful! I feel the healthiest I’ve ever been thanks to resources like this and Moral Revelation that are not afraid to go there in order to help people honestly heal and become the best version of themselves that God intended. Thank you, Jason & Lauren!!

I have done a lot of work over the last 4 years to heal and grow, yet I reached a plateau and was praying about it, knowing I needed something more; several podcasts have given me the tools I was looking for. Now I feel hopeful again, even excited, because I have a better understanding; even the painful truths don’t deflate me-I now know they are an invitation to be strengthened and become more skillful in that area. Avoidant no more! Very grateful for what you are sharing and the hearts behind the messages!

This podcast is full of hope. I’ve had a very weary (perhaps even fearful) outlook on dating, marriage and sex for a long time. This Podacast has really put a lot of those fears into perspective and has begun to change my ideas and expectations. I still have so much to learn. But I am MEGA thankful for what y’all are doing here. Blessings! I always look forward to Wednesdays 😊.

These guys are so humble, and gentle hearted. They offer experiences from their lives that I can relate to and learn from. God bless them for all that they have done for others!

My favorite podcast! So thankful for the wisdom Jason & Lauren bring along with such transparency and humility.

This podcast and it’s hosts are incredible. My fiancé and I have been listening to them together, and we feel equipped and prepared for marriage thanks to Lauren and Jason.

I love the topics, advice and perspective this couple brings to my life.

I truly love their insight. It’s been helpful when I needed to be encouraged and it’s been challenging when I needed to think differently on something. Truly thankful for their voice on this platform. It’s been a tool to help prepare me for marriage and navigate well in my life currently. LOVE YALL!!

I love how rich and valuable this podcast has been. There are so many important topics being discussed and it’s real, raw and down to earth. I feel that this podcast will help so many people in different circumstances.

Ok I’m kidding, but this is by far my favorite marriage and family podcast. I’ve learned so much. It feels like free counseling! Thank you guys for being so open.

First, thank you for making this podcast and being my mentors from across the US. You are giving me the tools to be able to have healthy conversations and navigate life being newly married! I only started listening to this podcast yesterday and I’m already a few podcasts in. I love taking notes! Everything is so so good!

Jason and Lauren have a beautiful way of sharing hard topics. They discuss ways to grow and offer great resources. There is a lot of richness in their story, because of the real life experiences they've faced. My husband and I came from two every different upbringings, like many, and now we have three beautiful children. Jason and Lauren have shared many topics that have helped me grow and have given me wisdom to have conversations that have lead to feeling deeply known. Thank you both for sharing! 🥰

Thank you guys for the honesty, openness, and words of wisdom! Where have you been all my life Jason and Lauren !!!! Learning so much !

The way you two interact with one another gives me so much hope and comfort for marriage. I love how respectful, caring and authentic you are with each other! I have learned so much from you guys especially in the realm of building trust in relationship. I think my favorite quote from you is “trust is built not in the absence of conflict but in how you clean up a mess” (something like that). Haven’t missed an episode- I look forward to you guys every Wednesday! Is there a way we can sow financially into your podcast?

This podcast is incredible! I am someone who loves learning about and implementing relational skills. So I have binge listened to many many many christian relationship podcasts and this one is next level! I’m only on the 7th episode and have already come to so many realizations about myself and my relationship with myself and my relationship with my fiancé. Seriously these topics are so impactful and deep. They go way beyond the surface level. Thank you Vallottons for sharing your story and talking about all things personal relations!

It feels like I’m sitting down with you guys for coffee and listening to what God has done in your lives. It’s such an encouragement and inspiration to me and my husband. It’s so difficult to make friends or find mentors that talk about the real stuff and I feel like when we listen to your podcast, we’re in your livingroom partaking from the wisdom you’ve found on your walk with God. Thank you for doing this. We love you guys!

Great relational, spiritual, and emotional health discussions. Thank you!

I have known Jason for many years through watching him lead revival groups at Bethel back in the day. The vulnerability and authenticity that he walks in is real. I love that he has found his wife and the powerful story that unfolded for them. I listen to these podcasts and the Brave Co, they are uplifting and encouraging. They both give so much practical applications for your life and how to navigate through things. I look forward to each week listening.

Dates, Mates and Babies is one of my go to podcasts. Every single time I listen, I walk away with some amazing tools to apply to my own emotion health journey, marriage and parenting. Jason and Lauren have so many years of experience and it’s such a gift to glean from their wisdom.

I was skeptical that this would be a cheesy, cringey, relationship podcast but it couldn’t be more opposite. The Vallottons approach relationship topics with wisdom, care, and authority. It’s extremely refreshing and I’m so grateful I found it.

I love these guys bc they talk about issues that are so relatable for relationships. The best pet is that they don’t just share theories, they talk about what it looks like to apply relational health tools. Hearing their stories and personal examples make them a couple that we the listeners aspire to be like. Thanks Jay & Lauren!

I have been waiting for this for a long time! I have followed Jason and used his tools for years and this podcast with Lauren is Fire! I’m so grateful Lauren and Jason are doing this. These tools and tips and the wisdom they have to share is amazing!

I’ve been in a relationship since October where I gave up my whole life close to family, my dog and mostly everything I own to move across the country for her and her two kids. Now I’m struggling in a break from her due to my own actions and this has been eye opening to everything that led to the break in the relationship!

1 month married and your pod! Has been not short of bliss. Thank you !!!🤗

Highly recommend this podcast to everyone! So relatable, inspiring and helpful!!

I am so bless to hear this stuff. Thank God for your hearts.

Thankful for being so raw and real with all the hot topics that the church needs to be talking about.

Brilliant, vulnerable and helpful content.

Love these two, a wealth of wisdom on relationships. You can tell they are being authentic and speaking from years of experience with people and with themselves.

So happy I found this podcast! So needed in the season that I am in. They are so relatable and have so much wisdom in how to do relationship well! Learning so much and look forward to listening to this podcast every week!

“Happened on” your podcast several days ago - have crushed through so many episodes already!! I was widowed 4.5 years ago and have one little girl from that marriage. Navigating dating world…again & after loss of a spouse AND with a child - feels daunting, but I do want to get married again! Your podcast, although often with examples relating to post divorce, is so applicable to my situation! Loving it and recommending it to friends.

Really enjoy listening weekly! The episodes about sex in marriage felt like wisdom that is not shared at all, or enough, in church culture. Jason’s insights were helpful to hear. Thanks guys!

I appreciate you both so much. Thank you for going over these topics and for being so real and transparent. You couldn’t do this without having done so much work yourselves. Thank you for sharing what you have learned and giving us a grid for how to get there also.

I can’t even begin to say how much I deeply appreciate and love your podcast. This is wisdom I wish I had in my 20/30’s but learning so much now and passing it on to my adulting children now. Thank you for your vulnerability and insight. God bless

Love how you both just give just a true, honest perspective on things! It has challenged me to continue to ask myself questions and go to a deeper level of self awareness and needs! Would love to dig deeper into how to discover and uncover your needs!

So thankful for all you guys have shared so far. It’s helping me find clarity and healing from my childhood (foundations episode) and past relationships. As a single dad I worry about what dating looks like in the future and the vulnerability you all have shared is so encouraging.

I love how they share their experiences in such a raw, real, and relatable way. So many amazing gems of wisdom. When is the book coming out?!

Amazing show every Wednesday…entertaining and learning all at the same time!

Man I so appreciate you guys for your honesty and open hearts not only to each other but us as listeners. Thank you🙌🙏

This podcast gives insight into how and why relationships do and do not work. It’s a tool to help you recognize what’s happening within yourself and how you can use that to better connect and grow in your relationships. The content is delivered with grace and humility on a platform of biblical truths!

This podcast carries wisdom that is so needed today. I appreciate how both Lauren and Jason show up as their unique selves and honor each other as they share their perspectives. Highly recommend!

The relational wisdom and life perspective in this podcast is golden! Invest in yourself and your relationships with others and take the time to listen to this podcast.

Just finished listening to todays episode and they are all jammed packed with so much wisdom. I’m still thinking about what I learned from last week. I feel like I just finished a counseling session that added so much value to my life. Lauren and Jay are both so articulate and help to put language to things that are sometimes hard to communicate. They are vulnerable and honest and help to shed light on hard issues in order to achieve wholeness in life and especially in our closest relationships. Can not recommend listening to this podcast enough!
