What does it look like to pursue biblical dating? You might be surprised to know. 

Being a Christian who also happens to be a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m often asked to speak about the topic of biblical dating.

How does a person date in a biblical way? 

What does the bible actually say about dating?

How can a Christian manage the world of dating with a God-honoring perspective?

Which concepts of dating can you take from the “world” and which should you take from the bible?

I wrote my book, True Love Dates, because I wanted to tackle some of these important questions and bring to light how we can apply the concepts from the bible to approach toward dating, in a way that’s spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically healthy.

On the podcast, the question came up yet again: How do you pursue biblical dating? Interestingly enough, the answer might surprise you.

Interestingly enough, if we look through the pages of the bible, biblical dating is non-existent. People didn’t “date” in the Middle East, and in fact, dating is still a brand new concept even today.

In today’s episode of the podcast, I talk through why biblical dating isn’t actually what we think – and probably not what we want.  Yet with the reminder that God’s word is filled with concepts and principles that we can apply to dating right here and right now.
