Dating can feel like a minefield — full of hope, confusion, and sometimes heartbreak. On this episode of Go Be the Church, we cut through the noise with plainspoken, gospel-centered wisdom for anyone dating today. If you’re wondering how to date well — not just for fun, but with marriage in mind — you’re in the right place. Today we’ll unpack a simple rule: “Date slow, but find someone who’s FAST.” FAST stands for Faith, Accountability, Stability, and being Transformed into the image of Christ. We’ll talk guardrails for physical and spiritual boundaries, why motivations matter, how friendship and attraction fit together, and how to end things with honesty and grace when needed. Stay with us — practical, biblical, no-nonsense advice to help you pursue relationships that honor God and protect your heart.
