Dating before and after marriage with the romance and intention of Valentine’s Day is our focus on this episode of ABQ Connect. Pastor Santiago (Santi) Llanes oversees SPCTRM Student Ministries for Calvary Church. His wife, Averi, adds more flavor to the discussion about how she started dating Santi and their life as a married couple. Assistant Production Manager of KLYT, Abby Williams, joins the conversation to address the topic from a single person’s perspective.
Averi said, “You want to be sexually attracted to the person you are going to be married to, and you don’t need to be guilty about that.” Abby added, “It is important to use your single season to find out what you are meant for. What is your purpose in life?” Santi said, “God’s sole intention for your life is not only for you to be married. That is not his main goal. His main goal is for you to be like Him.”
Romance is alive and well. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Mike Howell is a Senior Advisor for Government Relations at the Heritage Foundation. Blue states around America are suddenly withdrawing “mask mandates,” and Mike says, “It tells you that “mid-terms” are coming up and they see the writing on the wall. Nothing has changed in (so-called) science that they “have relied” on for so long and followed.”
Mike also discusses “cancel culture” in America. He said, “Cancel Culture is one of the worst phenomenons of recent years. It’s ruined countless lives, and it’s done a lot of damage to individuals. It’s made people fearful to speak up and engage as active citizens. When you are faced with losing your job or being pushed out of your community or these other ways people will come after you, people retreat and don’t get involved. That space gets filled by these loudest, biggest progressive voices, and that is not the way this country was set up to be run.”
