I once got a comment from an angry gentlemen who informed me that my ministry was misguided for focusing on such a “unimportant” issue as dating. True story.Â
The sad truth is he’s not the only one who feels that way. But in all honesty, I take that comment and shrug it off, because I believe that THESE conversations about love, dating, and healthy relationships hold the key to some major transformation in our society, including the decreasing of the national divorce rate! And if you haven’t noticed lately, marriage is under some major attack.
So, what is the church’s role when it comes to healthy dating? What does healthy dating even mean or look like? How do we set ourselves up to entering relationships that are not only right, but good?Â
I was invited to chat about this topic recently, as I had the opportunity to join Dr. Kim Kimberling at his Awesome Marriage ministry and podcast, and I wanted to be sure to share it with you!
