Fair Love Part 2: Boundaries

Boundaries in Love: Discernment, Flattery, and Drawing Near to God Host Shirah Chante welcomes teens, parents, and youth leaders to Teens Draw Near to God and explains the show’s purpose of helping teenagers know God through the Bible. Continuing her poem “Fair Love” from her poetry book Jaundiced View , she focuses on the lines about “sweetness of sound,” warning that flattering words can be insincere and used to manipulate, especially when teens feel insecure or rush relationships. She emphasizes discernment, giving relationships time, and honoring restraint through clear boundaries for one’s body, mind, and soul, encouraging waiting for marriage and valuing friendship. She shares a personal story from Los Angeles about a night when a man respected her decision not to have sex, illustrating healthy boundaries. She closes with Ephesians 6:14–17, a prayer for teens, and a request for prayer. 00:22 Welcome to Teens Draw Near 00:56 Why This Podcast Exists 01:57 Teen Years and Identity 03:22 Why Read the Bible 04:07 Introducing Poem Fair Love 05:20 Reading the Full Poem 07:34 Sweet Words or Flattery 12:27 Restraint and Boundaries 14:08 LA Story Testing Boundaries 18:50 Practical Advice and Wrap Up 19:39 Scripture Prayer and Goodbye Support the show
