My son & dil dated 18 mos & never kissed until their wedding day. I was amazed at their discipline. They've been married 9 years & have an incredible marriage.
I love this part. Holding off kissing. It's almost like fasting. Giving everything to God and waiting patiently. Because He is the center not any event. It's about honor. Being led by the Spirit. And it's a form of trust!
Intentionally look for them, there is tonnes of Godly (Christian) resources out there. books, podcasts and sermons alike. Pstor Steven has a lot of videos from past years, that's actually how I got to know about him. Ps Mike Todd has the original Relationship Goals 8 part series which was a real blessing. Ps Ben Stuart's Single Dating Engaged Married book and sermons, really good. Ps Jonathan Pokluda's book Outdated and other material.....these are just a few that helped me, there's a whole lot more here on YT. I pray you find the right resources
It’s difficult because the Bible doesn’t specifically reference dating. There is a great book called Single, Dating, Married and I Highly recommend!! Wonderful insight and takes you to scripture for wisdom and direction.
Thank you for reminding me that my views on dating and relationships are not skewed, even though society force us to believe the opposite to be the norm.
What a respectful and wise son. I love how he speaks to his father, calling him sir, not too over familiar, honours him as his dad. Also, he knows that he doesn’t want his wife to have baggage or him to bring baggage into his marriage.
What a great way to look at dating. What a beautiful day when they marry. One beautiful surprise to stay innocent until the wedding day. A man like that not pressuring his intended is unbelievable. Wish I would have had one like that. Maybe my marriage would have turned out better than it did. I totally agree with that entire concept. We need boundaries and that is a great one in every way. No having to get married cause of pregnancy. Just.clean living and nothing to feel guilt or shame about. I love it! ❤️ ❤❤
More of this please. Its so great to have someone guide us in this day and age where there are very few people setting the right example and social media giving us a completely different narrative of how dating and relationships are supposed to be.
Steven, I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so honest and truthful with all of your followers. My friend told me about you. I have been happily married to my husband for 24 years. God bless you and your family always.
Keep going and keep pushing. I found his short ministries by accident or Gods will because I was going through a hard time myself. No matter what you just keep P.U.S.Hing Praying Until Something Happens
Its the exact kind of thing I've been praying about, after awhile of online dating, I've really grown sick of it. I keep asking God to show me or guide me to find the one he has planned for me. I even held off dating apps for a long time and now I'm thinking about it again. I know I shouldn't rush God since He always does things in His own time and sometimes I think He just knows that I'm not ready yet. 😢
Fantastic to hear perspectives and definitely helped me today as I am 51 yrs old and been alone and single for 10 years and I been struggling to date… but want quality and standards of equal relationship. I am waiting to meet a man with same , and that’s hard to find nowadays in this time.. whew Thank you 🙏 ❤
With me I believe in love and I believe you don't have to sometimes look for it but it can locate for you , True love shall always find you . We can be friends by the way. Just if you need one to talk to as you wait for your true love
I seek you Lord every day. Jesus you are my strength. Lord both of my sons are special needs they require so much from me. Lord I continue to struggle in providing for them. Father God it is overwhelming and challenging especially now because I’m homeschooling them so my hours to work are limited. As a single mother I’m barely getting by. As I struggle to buy groceries and as I struggle to pay rent Lord give me courage to hold my head up because it’s hard on me Lord Jesus. Amen ❤️
Lifting you up in prayer 🙏 I pray that you feel God's loving arms wrapped tightly around you, in Jesus name 🙏 ❤️ He will get you through, he won't let you down and he always provides, in Jesus name ❤
WE ARE ALWAYS BLESSED AFTER ONE OF UR VIDS PASTOR MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND THE FAM AND KEEP YALL AND MAKE HIS MACE SHINE UPON U ALL AND BE GRACIOUS TO U GUYS AND FILL U ALL WITH PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING ANDIN JESUS NAME WE PRAY AMEN NUMBERS 6 24-26
I have a question. If we want to save ourselves for our future spouse and take this advice from this video. We decide not date and focus on our relationship with God, become a godly man or godly woman…how will we find that person or know that we’ve met that person if we don’t date? Cause dating people gives you that opportunity to find that person…so if you’re not going to date how will God bring someone into your life and how will you know?
I literally cannot imagine marrying someone without ever kissing them. 😂 I'm not saying that it's impossible or not beautiful for the people that can withhold from it. But for me, likeeee it blows my mind to even think about it. Am I the only one?!?! 😬
Great conversation!!! Pastor Steven son is so respectful and a confident and great speaker Aswell… does anyone know who the third gentleman was in this video?🙏🏼❤️
And also, if either has ever slept around, you would know you could trust them. Most men if you don't comply to their demands, they drop you like a hot potato. I guess I've known all the wrong men. Real.eye opener.
🖐️♥️So beautifull conversation , our body is a Tempel of the Holy Spirit including youre lips one can lead to another ,,and no no one is weird or a alien for being Treu and Faithfull to God God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit His Way is the best way i believe that with all my heart .📖📯
I have been in bad relationships, and 3 bad marriages. I wouldn't know how to have a godly relationship with anyone. Right now I have no desire to date.
I mean I’m Christian and I’m with someone who doesn’t believe in anything and we’ve been together for 4 years. It’s the healthiest relationship I’ve been in. He’s the most understand person I’ve ever met and we just respect each other and communicate. I have a relationship with God and just because he doesn’t, doesn’t mean I’m gonna throw a great relationship away. So every relationship looks different with everyone. It’s not just one way or the other, it’s however you feel at the end of the day.
I am in a similar situation with someone who identifies as atheist and honestly it is so far so good. I was told something.. that we should date people based on their character... not by chemistry, personality, or traits told alone. Character and values of that person speaks bounds ❤
There's a reason that the Bible says don't be unevenly yoked. Also, you are playing house...not even in the same league as marital commitment , under the rules of God. I'm sure it appears equal like your secular friends' marriages, and it probably is. But it will never grow any bigger; uneven maintains, but doesn't thrive. You're only stunting your own life potential
@@michelemoser5592 That’s fine that you feel that way. We all have our different beliefs/opinions/feelings. We all have a right to be ourselves. I’m just trying to show that you don’t have to be a certain way to have a relationship with God. God loves us for who we are and that’s what i believe:)
The whole point of a relationship for a Christian is to find someone to grow together in Christ . It's not even about us it's about Christ so if that person is growing you closer to him then what's the point?
I love it when MARRIED people tell us single people HOW TO DATE!!! Steven has been married since the Middle Ages! He has NO IDEA how hard this dating culture is EVEN in CHURCH!😆😆😆
I think it depends on how you view dating and marriage. If I was going to apply for a job at Delta, and I was able to talk and listen to a person who had worked there for 22 years-knew all the ins and outs, knew a lot they didn’t know before they walked in the door of Delta, I would LOVE to listen and gain wisdom from them. I think if you are dating with the intent to find a person to marry, the same applies. Why would you now want to glean from someone who had walked the journey, who had seen the other side, and who could say “wow, wish I could redo this, or I would change that. Or yes this really worked for me”. I enjoyed his insight, and feel he wasn’t saying it from the heart of “the Bible says this is the ONLY way to date, and it’s the right way.” He was more saying from experience this was the way he chose, and he is very thankful he walked in it.
This is 2024. At this point, American culture is so upside down that almost the only thing that makes sense, is to get your passport and get to other regions of the world where the prevailing culture is very different.

Right!
Amen to that!
I was going to say the same thing ❤raised well

I loved this statement!!! Definitely wrote that one in the journal!
Thank you for sharing. Dating in 2024 is extremely difficult. I wish there were conversations about Godly dating.
Intentionally look for them, there is tonnes of Godly (Christian) resources out there. books, podcasts and sermons alike.

When I feel safe I will come. Can't feel safe with you or him. I was burned badly and can't get myself back. Get heart palpitations, not kidding.
Such great advice! Christian dating should look different from the world’s dating.
I'm here on the Path. God is Real.
Great advice my husband and I have been together as a couple for 41 years and married for 38 this year. I think this is great advice. 💜🙏🏽
Its true dating with the standard of God is you will be guided without it you will get lost or confuse sometimes
My son just told me yesterday he asked a girl to be his girlfriend. I'm definitely going to make him watch this. Great advice.
COME ON DAD FURTICK!!!!! ♥️ thank you!!
More of this please. Its so great to have someone guide us in this day and age where there are very few people setting the right example and social media giving us a completely different narrative of how dating and relationships are supposed to be.
Great advice, I absolutely love it. Thank you pastor Steven 😘💕💕💕
Beautiful, valuable teaching & glimpse into your lives and what God can do through relationship with Jesus!
This was amazing to see and I love the perspective given by him but also by his children
Steven, I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so honest and truthful with all of your followers. My friend told me about you. I have been happily married to my husband for 24 years. God bless you and your family always.
If God isn't their first priority, something is wrong
GOOD MORNING PASTOR….. THANKS FOR YOUR WORD
Preach pastor this is so good the whole 3hr convo was a masterclass.
Good stuff ….I’m divorced and the dating scene/internet is wild!!! Just praying someone good comes
Be patient and wait for Gods best!! To find contentment in Him until that person comes along is a beautiful thing! Don’t give up hope!
This is so good, and thanks for this podcast. Having to look out for my children and in this day age. Godly dating is what I desire now.
Thank you for this. Very timely.
