The Misconceptions of Godly Dating and Relationship

Like never before, people invest so much in relationships and like never before we are so disillusioned by what it means to be in a relationship that is truly meant for us. We’ve discussed before, in our purity episode specifically, how as Christians we are called to live a sanctified life. Meaning, we are set apart from others and our faith calls us to engage in the world with Christ in the center. The disillusion our generation faces when it comes to relationships can be associated with social media, dating apps, social movements and more. One of the most shocking situations for us is when a couple we’ve kept up with on social media or tv suddenly break up because we’ve only seen highlight reels of their relationship. They don’t even have to be famous. How about that really cute couple you see at church? Or the couple that romanticise Christian relationships on instagram? They make it seem so easy. Unknowingly, we begin to idealize and covet the relationships of others … leading us to misconceptions.

The overall theme of this season is that we often revise our faith to deal with the decisions we’ve made that don't necessarily align with God’s word or plan for us. And in this episode we’ll break down the four misconceptions most people view as normal but stem from not understanding the freedom that is rooted in r/ships God meant for us.
