What is marriage? Is marriage just a piece of paper? Is it outdated?

Join in as Mike and Lawrencia discuss how marriage is a lifelong covenant, a gift, oneness, and an equal partnership.

The Panton Pod is a bi-weekly podcast/videocast hosted by Mike and Lawrencia Panton focused on family, dating, and relationships to help young people navigate the confusing world of relationships.

In this episode, we discuss our decision to have another kid, confronting our fears as parents, and having a baby overseas.

Even if you're single, we believe there will be much to learn here in terms of facing fear and following Jesus through difficult decisions.

In Episode 003 of the "Panton Pod" podcast, we - Mike and Lawrencia Panton - talk once again about the question, "Am I ready to date?" How do you know if you're ready for a relationship or not?

We break down three simple topics. What are my negotiables and non-negotiables? Is it okay to date someone from a different religion? What is your goal in dating?

This is part 2, so if you enjoyed it, be sure to check out part 1.

In the first episode of the "Panton Pod" podcast, we - Mike and Lawrencia Panton - introduce ourselves and share a little about the goal of this podcast and our dating story - from struggling with singleness, loneliness, and insecurity to marriage.

We met in university, but now we are living overseas and raising two little boys in Indonesia.

We work closely with college students, so we are often asked for relationship advice. As a result, we are launching this new podcast to cover dating, as well as many others topics and questions young people have about relationships.
