An Introduction to Eve’s Mission

It’s always a pleasure to have guests who are as passionate about their mission as I am, and Eve Rosemary is a shining example of this. Straight out of college, Eve has embarked on an incredible journey as a chastity speaker, crisscrossing the nation and using shrines as her roadmap. Her stories of visiting spiritual places and sharing miracles are inspiring. But her true mission is helping teens and young adults grasp the profound beauty of chastity and authentic love. It’s about forming real, genuine peer relationships where God’s love is at the center.

Understanding Love in Today’s World

One of the key discussions in our episode revolved around the true nature of love. Eve eloquently describes love’s ultimate example: Jesus on the cross. It’s a reminder that love is not always easy or effortless. In practice, true love involves daily sacrifices, spending time in prayer, and choosing virtue over sin. Love is not just a feeling—it’s an active commitment. It’s about willing the good of the other beyond our own desires and looking towards God as the ultimate definition of love.

Drawing From Our Creator

We often look around us—movies, books, cultural narratives—to find meaning in love. However, as Eve points out, discovering authentic love truly begins with understanding our Creator. The one who made us is the definition of love and has instilled this desire within us for ourselves and each other. This journey to understanding isn’t just self-discovery but realigning our lives with God’s vision for us and experiencing extraordinary love.

Distractions from True Love

In our modern environment, distractions are aplenty, and many lead us away from seeing and experiencing the true love of God. Whether it’s societal norms, social media, or our own insecurities, these outside influences can cloud our understanding of love. Eve shares her personal challenges, from health issues to being in competitive environments, and emphasizes how spending time in silence and reflection can bring one closer to recognizing God’s love.

Dating with a Purpose

One significant part of our conversation was about dating with intention. It’s easy in today’s world to get swept up in the fun of dating without a long-term focus. But finding the right partner requires understanding what truly matters—both in them and ourselves. Eve shared how she made a list of qualities she desired in a future husband and how she started working toward becoming the woman aligned with those values. Setting a solid foundation of virtues enables a relationship to direct both partners towards a marriage built on love and shared goals.

Maintaining Chastity and the Goodness of Our Bodies

Finally, we tackled the often tricky yet incredibly important topic of chastity. Many people misconstrue chastity as a negative restriction rather than what it truly is—choosing to devote your body fully to your future spouse and God. Eve’s poignant story about struggling with body image and learning to see her body as a gift resonated deeply. Our bodies, in their entirety, symbolize God’s love and are not to be scorned but cherished and cared for. In dating, setting clear and practical boundaries helps protect those values.
