Okay… we said we were going to get real. So let’s get real.

This week, we’re talking about dating — the icks, the red flags, the hot takes, the boundaries, the standards, the late-night FaceTimes, the “I can fix him” mindset… all of it.

From Crocs and cussing to confidence and calling, we’re unpacking what actually matters in a relationship — and what doesn’t.

We’re answering questions like:

• Should you date someone who isn’t a Christian?
• What’s the difference between being flirty and being friendly?
• Are you dating for potential… or for truth?
• Why should no relationship be a secret?
• And are we lowering our standards compared to past generations?

We talk boundaries, leadership, maturity, slow love, 1950s-style romance, emotional wisdom, and why loving Jesus first changes everything.

Some of these takes might be bold. Some might make you uncomfortable. Some might make you nod your head like, “Finally.”

But at the end of the day, we’re not here for shallow dating advice. We’re here for relationships that honor God, protect your heart, and actually last.

So whether you’re single, talking, dating, or just curious — this one’s for you.

Let’s get real. 💛
