The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast

• Her Dad Gave Me A 200 Question Exam Before I Could Take Her Out On A Date

  Ten years ago, Jeremy asked Jinger’s dad if he could take her on a date… and he got a 60-page, 235-question courtship questionnaire — the one fans have wondered about for years. For the first time ever, Jinger and Jeremy open the actual document on camera and tell the full story behind it: the early El Salvador conversations, how Jeremy filled it out in an airport over Christmas, why his answers exploded the page count to 107 pages, and the surprisingly intense questions that shaped their entire relationship. They read real questions straight from the questionnaire — from theology to family history to finances to purity — and unpack how this vetting process connected to IBLP culture, the pressure of public relationships, and why some parts helped… and why some parts didn’t. You’ll also hear never-before-shared moments: • Jinger overhears Jeremy’s first talk with her dad through a window in El Salvador • How the questionnaire pushed their relationship forward at lightning speed • The answers Jeremy gave (including the very first question that turned into 7 pages) • The behind-the-scenes emotions, fears, and relief Jinger felt reading his answers If you’ve ever wondered whether the famous Duggar courtship questionnaire was real, what was actually inside it, or how it impacted Jinger and Jeremy’s story, this episode finally gives the honest truth. Comment below if you want Part 2, where they reveal the more questions they didn’t get to this time.

In this deeply honest conversation, Tim and Aileen share: The moment they received the devastating news How they clung to what they believed about God when everything collapsed The difference between anger at God and being hurt by God’s providence How grief affects marriage—and how to survive it together What it looks like to “deploy your theology” when tragedy hits Practical ways Christians can comfort the grieving How the Church became their lifeline Why the Christian can truly grieve with hope How losing Nick reshaped their understanding of heaven Tim also shares the gospel with remarkable clarity and compassion, pointing listeners to the only place where true hope in sorrow can be found. This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind—or for those who want to understand how to love the grieving well.We pray this conversation brings comfort, clarity, and hope in Christ.
