Big Idea: It takes faith to love. If our faith is tested and we are not enduring, then we need to check who our faith is in.
Intro: Love can be a word that is overused and meaningless without much thought. It sounds great to tell someone you love them. However, there will come a time where that love is tested.

There are some reasons for slow fade: They hate disappointing people They think they are being nice with the occasional texts They have guilt of ignoring you They expect to give you a soft landing
This happens in any relationship...not just millennial dating. It's someone that you believe cares about you slowly fades from contact without ...
