God of the Romantic

“Hey God… is this the one?”“Should I pursue her?” “What about him?” “Do You approve this relationship?” For many Christians, dating feels like constantly presenting God with options for approval. But what if that entire approach is backwards? In this conversation, we explore a different way of understanding God’s leadership in relationships: • What if God is the initiator, not the reviewer? • What...

Modern dating tells Christians to strive, chase, perform, impress, search, and “put yourself out there.” But what if Scripture teaches something completely different?
