Is dating really broken in 2026? Why is dating so difficult for Christian singles today? Dating in 2026 can feel frustrating, exhausting, and nearly impossible. Dating apps don’t seem to be “understanding the assignment,” meaningful connections can be hard to find, and many singles are beginning to wonder: Have I missed my time? Am I no longer desirable or “datable”? Should I simply accept being single and move on? But what if the biggest reason dating isn’t working in 2026 isn’t the dating apps, the lack of good options, or the current dating culture? There’s a deeper issue that isn’t talked about enough—and it may be the key to understanding why so many Christian singles are struggling to find healthy, meaningful, and intentional relationships. In this episode, we’re taking an honest look at Christian dating, modern dating culture, dating apps, relationships, singleness, and why finding love can feel so difficult in today’s world. More importantly, we’ll explore why the dating scene is fixable and solvable—but the solution has to start somewhere. If you’re a single Christian woman, Christian man, a parent of teens and adult children or anyone navigating dating in 2026, this conversation is for you. 🎧 Press play and discover what may really be keeping dating from working—and where the solution begins.
