In this episode of Let’s Have a Heart to Heart, Nita Danielle sits down with relationship coach and author Safana Samples for an honest and eye-opening conversation about dating, discernment, and singleness as a believer.

Together, they unpack what many of us were—and weren’t—taught about dating in church, from purity culture to transactional faith and the pressure to “earn” marriage. Safana introduces the concept of being successfully single, explaining how singleness is not a problem to solve but a season to steward.

This episode dives into how to develop discernment as a skill, how to date with intention, and how to reconcile the desire for marriage while still being content in your current season. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or unprepared when it comes to dating as a Christian, this conversation will challenge your mindset and give you practical wisdom to move forward.
