The purpose of this podcast, Heart of Dating, is to unmask the ever-so-ambiguous world of dating in the Christian world. While there are resources spread out over the years, there are not many centralized areas where Christians can access dating advice, help, and guidance easily and in a fashion that is accessible. The ultimate hope is that Heart of Dating Podcast will start a healthy conversation for men and women and provide wise input and direction as we answer some tough questions and uncover some transformative ways to develop a healthy attitude and approach to dating as a Christian.

Customer Reviews
An excellent resource for an anxious heart
Heart of Dating is a great collection of necessary conversations to help encourage and prepare single Christians in the realm of dating and relationships. It’s been said before (on this podcast even) that we go to college and get degrees in a field that we might not even end up employed in, but we are not educating ourselves on the topic that the vast majority of people will spend the rest of their lives participating in – romantic partnership. I’m grateful for this podcast and the other resources I’ve discovered through Heart of Dating that are helping me build a good foundation for a future relationship. The Mia Fields episode (225) is an incredible testimony, and I look forward to hearing more like it on this show!
Not for me
I tried listening to this podcast from someone who recommended. This was not for me. As soon as I heard online dating I was completely turned off. As someone who has been on and off the apps for a good amount of time, I can honestly say that you’re more than likely not going to find “the one.” Although I did like the idea of being creative on a first date I think coffee dates are just as fine. Low pressure and just having a conversation. Maybe I’ll give it another listen one day but this was hard to listen to unfortunately.
So yesterday
Perfectly fine if you’re still holding onto Christian ideals from the late ‘90s-early ‘00s. A friend shared the show with me, and I listened. I tried, it’s hard out here, what can I learn? Nothing here in 2024 if you’ve gone to therapy or even thought about deconstruction.
