It would be great if there was an app for just Christian friendship. Sometimes people would no doubt end up finding love,but it wouldn't be the pressure of a dating app.
I would love this too!
I think the app Holy has just a friendship thing too. So maybe you could just go on to find friends. Just a thought :)
Christian friendship is good
Lol
Hi Im from morocco
I gave up on finding someone, I honestly think I want it too much, so that comes with package of overthinking, second-guessing, and so on.
I'll just focus on God and that's it, it's all I need.
It's would be nice of course to have your person for life that can help you, give you family and purpose to this life on earth, but in the end main purpose is to focus on Christ.
bro with jesus anything is possible all you need is faith and he will give it to you
but make sure youre the best version of yourself before finding someone
@@noahnoah-cb5yt That's very difficult to do and not realistic. Most people are the best versions of themselves when they're in their 40's or 50's. But it's better to get married as soon as possible because you won't build up this history of bad habits. I know what you're saying, you should be in a good place before searching for marriage, but as long as you're not living under a bridge shooting heroin everyday, you're good. Like, you can figure out life's problems as a team, waiting for the perfect moment is never gonna happen. A lot of good husbands got married when they had $5 in their bank account.
@@charlesbell5500 what is your definition of best version of yourself, who defines what best version of yourself is? Sometimes we don't realise that we are already perfect and enough because we are comparing with others or some kind of implied standards out there. Only the Word of God can tell you and bring you to the best version of yourself. I have been the best version of myself since I could remember, but someone looking on me would only see flaws and imperfections, but only God is my standard, I worked and moved making do with what I had at any moment, let go of controlling what I could not, but absolutely in control of what I could. The trick is to remember that we never stop learning in life and that every stage is a season. Champions need challenges, builders need the rocks.
@@giftij Yes, I agree and appreciate your comment. But in this case, the best version of yourself is when you're fulfilling your potential in every area of your life. You're making the most money you've made, you're happy with your marriage, etc. And then there's a dip as you get older and things start to decline. The best version of yourself is right there in the 35-55 range.
even though I am more introverted I'd to meet my future husband in person as I do want to be friends first
Same
@@saratoooo2627 plus most guys I've talked to on dating apps are weird (but to be fair I've only tried tinder lol)
@flybyeblackbird we totally get this! We have a large community who uses the friends side of our app to build platonic relationships and community!
Guys and girls can’t be close friends.. if I like you I’m making the move, I don’t care if I’ve known you for a short time. Let’s not waste time 😜
@@Obamnaz I think my Husband should also be my best friend. I also don't think lasting love is only based on fleeting feelings.
Downloaded dating apps after so many years but honestly felt my anxiety just became worse from seeing all those unread messages and also excessive swiping made me feel bad tbh
Eventually deleted all of them when I realised the unhealthy amount of time I spent on there when I don’t even know any of these people in real life
I am using one called "Ur my type for introverts", downloaded it two days ago
It honestly feels like, I am online shopping for men😢
We totally get that! This is one of the reasons why we implemented swipping limitations, pauses, and reflection prompts within the searching experience. We believe everyone has value and we're not meant to treat one another like commodities. We'd love to invite you to see if Holy is the honorable experience you're looking for!
@@holy_app it’s okay, I’m in a relationship but thanks
I absolutely agree w/ you ! I have tried dating apps in the past, before I got saved & it was never good. Now that I'm saved and walking in purity w/ the Lord, I am listening to the Holy Spirit and patiently waiting for my husband. I believe I will meet him in person, not off a dating app. God bless you ! Jesus is our first love & there's nothing like His love :)
Yea pretty sure a waste of time, I have girls match me but they never message back
I feel like the "friendship setting" is the setting for people who are "looking" but are trying to avoid the whole Christian "dating" "we-went-on-a-date-so-now--we-are-in-a-relationship" minefield.
Thank you so much for the in-depth review, Sam and Sadie! 🙌We loved hearing your thoughts and advice and we're wishing your brother luck on the app! ❤
There's only iOS app and no android app yet. Any tentative dates of release? Maybe a Christmas 🎁 or new year 🎁?
I met my husband on Holy!! It was United Young at the time. I still have it for meeting friends 😊
Aww that is amazing!! So so happy for y’all ☺️
Dara! This is so exciting! We're always looking for people to tell their stories as it greatly encourages others! We'd love to chat further and hear your story if you're interested!
Yes would love to share more!
Laughs at single people. Very nice.
@@holy_appcan I trust this app? Thank you
Thank you for mentioning the friendship setting!
Yes! We're so excited for everyone who has found community and deep Christ-centered friendships through Holy!
Thank you for this helpful and honest review! I may look into this app.
This helps me know what to say to my so. He has been talking about the idea of dating apps lately. He is 20 and we just moved across the country. He is an introvert and struggling pretty hard with meeting people. I do not want to give him bad advise.
Sam and Sadie seem kind and understanding towards single people
Dating Apps and websites can sometimes be so soul crushing, unless you have a pretty face, or profile photo.
Its tough and ghosting is common, even amongst "Christians"
Even with a pretty face is the same, believe me. I’m very sure that men looking for marriage aren’t considering women on dating apps. I used to be on them in 2019 and only met weird ones.
@@ira_herself9663 It seems like Women dont like Men with no money or sensitive
love this. Thanks for sharing
Higher Bond is very similar to this, and if I recall correctly, there's a vetting process for any photos you upload. I had a hard time posting one picture of myself because there was a guy right behind me who was shirtless, so i had to crop it until all that was really left was my face. 😅
Just joined this app today. Let’s see how this goes!
I downloaded this app and applied. What you’ve mentioned about those other apps has been my experience too. Even Christian Dating For Free.
I don't even see Holy in the Play store. Is it only for Apple users?
Lmao I got a Bumble Ad from TH-cam before this video 😂
Enjoyed watching this! I did try 2 dating apps before.
Thanks for watching the review! We'd love to invite you to experience what honorable online dating can look like through Holy if you're looking to try a third app, haha. 🙌🏼
@@holy_app You are welcome. I’m not sure I’m ready to try a 3rd Christian dating app. The other 2 dating apps my parents paid for the subscription.
Thank you so much for this! I just joined Holy, but am a bit hesitant because I always thought online dating was weird. Do you guys think I should give it a try? Feeling like it’s wrong for some reason :(
Hi Claire! Sadie here. If you feel like it’s wrong for some reason, I would go with your conviction. You can always revisit it later on to see if you feel differently about it, but if you currently feel that it is wrong I probably not use the app if I were you!
@@samandsadieThank you, I agree with you on this. To be honest, I’m in a pretty lonely season of life, and I think I just joined because I feel like I “need” someone. But it’s never a good idea to date because you’re lonely. Appreciate you both so much, your channel has been a blessing in my life. May Jesus continue to bring you His favor. 💛
I absolutely agree w/ you ! I have tried dating apps in the past, before I got saved & it was never good. Now that I'm saved and walking in purity w/ the Lord, I am listening to the Holy Spirit and patiently waiting for my husband. I believe I will meet him in person, not off a dating app. God bless you ! Jesus is our first love & there's nothing like His love :)
You guys should do a review of SALT Christian Dating App - we're from across the pond
I can't find the Holy App on Google app store
Ok. Ya got me to give this app a shot. Just waiting on my profile to be approved. Hopefully it is different from the standard apps like you mentioned. I will invite you two on a free vacation to my beach wedding ha! :)
Haha, we hope to hear about this beach wedding soon! Thank you so much for giving Holy a try! We hope you've been enjoying it so far. Please reach out to us through the app with any questions you may have! 🙌🏼
Good video ❤
is your app also welcome to join from philippines...
I would rather meet my future husband off an app; but with that said I did try Upward last year and was appauled by the seedy creeps that I spoke with. I was so turned off, I didn't meet a single one and deleted the app within a week. I hope the Holy app's facial recognition will help mitigate this for their users. Perhaps I will try in the future.
Hi, maybe give a try to Salt. They have online table talks where single Christian women and men from all around the world can participate.
@@vv-ec1nh Interesting, thank you
Hi! We're so glad you're giving Holy a chance. We're the only dating app where each profile is reviewed by our team. Meaning, no facial recognition software, but real people reviewing real photos! We also have an application process for the app. This way our team can review answers along with photos in attempts to spot people joining for the wrong reasons or without faith. We're the top rated Christian dating app with reviews claiming that the quality of people on the app is a huge factor. We hope you can experience this as well!
@@holy_app Hi Holy's social manager team. You're actually not the only ones to do a review of each profile by human instead of AI. Salt does it too. As I didn't know the existence of your app, may I ask you in which countries are your app available? Thanks for your time.
@@holy_app I just got your app. But it didn’t give the option to pick a location, which is frustrating. I am moving but not sure when.
My thing is I live in an area that has very minimal options if any, nothing and no one im interested in and 3 hours or more away from any bigger town/city in all directions lol I am focusing on learning coding and developing my relationship with God. But I feel I am a bit stuck when it comes to this aspect of my life and feel like apps are the only option for my situation lol its very important for me to get to know someone as a friend before im comfortable going on dates. so I dunno. ive been single 10 years so whats another 10 I guess LOL ive kept that door closed for many years and hesitant to even crack it open at this point.
Maybe just make friends and watch the flow. God will lead you right
Ive tried dating apps for years. The longer i used them the more miserable and hopeless i became. Now i dont even try to date. Is holy that much different than all the others out there?
We're so sorry to hear this but also we understand how common this feeling is! The founders of Holy designed the app with human value and honor in mind. Holy is designed with features to help you see people for who they are in Christ, rather than a picture to swipe on. We want you to be built up, not torn down. As the top rated Christian dating app, we believe people sense the difference we offer. We see the only dating app that has an application process in which every profile is reviewed by or team to ensure you'll be meeting real people with real stories of faith. We'd love to invite you to give Holy a try! Feel free to check out our testimonials on our channel as well!
Please can a Christian sister from Ghana use that app cuz I think all the dating apps I have come across are all full of scammers
You guys should do a podcast!!!
seriously ?
Ol how does someone get holy ive been trying to find it on my phone which is a android and cant find it. Is it only for iphone users?
I think it's for IPhone users only
It only works when you are in the us too
I am not actively looking for anyone either!!…I should join holy and meet Sam’s brother 😂🤣😜🤪lol
😂😂 love that!!
waiting for the app on Android 😬
You can't use android?
I can't find holy on the app store. Can someone send me a link to it by chance?
That’s the app
I can’t find it either🤔
It is only for Apple users.. but go to their website, you can sign up to get notified when it comes out in Android, they did say it is coming soon, soo I hope very soon
Love your video. Appreciate hearing a review from a true Christian perspective. Upward is nothing more than Tinder btw--- do more in depth research on these apps maybe.😉
New here. Sadie is so soft!
If a guy said that, people would say it's creepy.
Dating apps make me depressed and anxious whenever i use them
I don't like apps...even Christian ones. They are all the same. Good for some, bad for the majority.
Hi I'm new here single looking forward to find genuine love I'm from Africa Cameroon
Wow congrats
I did not find an app called holy
How do we know we are ready for that step?
You're ready if you know what you want, and you really want it.
@@charlesbell5500nice and rhyming
Looking forward to see my kind of man,
Looking forward to see my kind of woman....😏
There are no Christians on these dating apps I hate to say it. And if you do find one, they live 500 miles away.
I'm 45, an Indian, Christian ,single , never married before, don't have kids. working here in the middle east, seriously seeking for my soulmate. unfortunately none of the above mentioned dating apps not working here😭.
Dating apps is not good for real Christians! Continue pray and pray in your church because that’s where your soulmate will be found where you have the same characters, the Bible said so.
Jake stands a far better chance of meeting someone on that dating app than I do. First off, he's over 6' tall, which is what most women want. I'm only 5'8. Second, he is a lot more attractive than I am (or ever was). It is highly unlikely that I will ever get married or be in a dating relationship -- dating app or not.
Being a short woman, I can assure you gals like me feel very uncomfortable looking up into a guy’s nostrils, always feeling like a runt. It’s a deal-breaker. Height is one thing we can’t do much about-look to how well you treat your body.
Just get some roids bro
“There’s only one person out there for you” … interesting. Could you help me understand why you believe that?
Well it's not true. There isn't only one person, as a matter of fact, there isn't one person 100% fits your spectrum and prescription, but God can pull out a 100% anywhere anytime you are ready
You are so happy toghether that you can not without attention of those video s 😂
Ah, attractive Christian couples, the ponacle of evangelical success
11:16 - There is NO person out there for me. If there were, I would have met her by now.
Then just stay single for life and casually date many different women. No problem with that, but you'd have to abandon your faith. Whether you like it or not, God wants you to be married. He wants you to be a husband. So even when you don't think you can find a good girl for you, just remember that you are supposed to be a husband. It might not be your will, but it's His will, so there's nothing you can do. If you're not married, you're not fulfilling His will, at least in part. I'm 25 and I'm struggling, but I just know that I'm supposed to be a husband, so what am I gonna do? Well, by 35 I'm gonna start lowering my standards a bit and just settle with one because it's better to be married to an imperfect woman than to be alone waiting for the perfect woman. You can have a good conversation with a man, you can have fun with a man, with your friends. So if you can do that, that means sexuality is not necessary to have fun with your wife and really like someone. If my wife is ugly, so what? I'm not trying to find the hottest woman I can sleep with, I'm trying to find a life partner. My family has called me crazy for some of the girls that I brought home just because "she's too ugly" for me. So, if your wife is not a 22-year-old blond who loves to sit on your face everyday, don't worry. At least she knows your complete meal plan, takes care of you when you're sick, and laughs at your stupid jokes.
@@charlesbell5500 dude, God is not marching time for all His kids to be married, if not Jesus would have set the example by getting married. Also He would have corrected his disciples when the said "....it's better to remain unmarried". Don't mislead your fellows with your personal beliefs, everyone's path is unique
@Jeff take time out to pray on these things to get an answer directly from your maker. Learn to trust Him for your desires
@@giftij You're just focusing on a technicality that relates to like .0005% of there population, and that's a dick move.
@@charlesbell5500 says you, 0.000000000001% of the population.
It’s called arranged marriage, no such thing
Hi girls im from morocco
Ok
A guy on a dating app no doubt needs to be really attractive looking to get any results. Otherwise, it's pointless.
@@ThorRandulfsson what do you mean exactly?
I don't understand what happens to some people who get into relationships? I know of a woman who seemed destined to become on top of her career. But she married a thug who decided she shouldn't get the promotion. As far as I know, she's off the grid now. If that's what marriage does to people, leave me out!
Yeah thugs are real problem round here in these parts that I move around in. They just kinda snirt and have hair all over. Ours have four legs, some I hear have three.. anyway, I was just minding my own business, tending to my penguins. Then bam! Thug just jumped right on me totally took me out of my job. Kinda sucky really. But oh well, I guess that's life in the thug lane. Peace out!
Do you go also together to the toilet 😂
I remember my ex girlfriend became Christian. She said it’s wonderful and brings people together. Then she breaks up with me cause I wasn’t Christian. The reality is that Christianity isn’t to put people together, it’s to separate people.
Read the New Testament to understand what Christianity is really about. It's first and foremost to put you (God's creation) and God together through Jesus Christ. As much as that breakup might have hurt, she did the right thing, and you should follow in her footsteps and follow Jesus. In my church, over 100 nationalities meet to worship God... you can't tell me it doesn't bring people together! May God bless you richly and reveal His love to you as the new year comes.
I'm sorry to hear that❤. The reason christians preferably date each other is because of longevity.
They wanna push each other further in the faith and that's okay.
Two people can't walk together side by side unless they agree
There's someone out there for you
.
@@Notsureyetbutok that’s not why but whatever you say. Religion splits people up and causes hate.
Nooo the Bible says do not be yoked with unbelievers she made the right choice
@@claudetteduduzile so basically the Bible makes people separate. Thanks for proving me right.
Bible also says if you rape a women then just marry her and your good to go.
It also says it’s ok to own slaves as long as you don’t beat your slaves too bad that they die in 3 days but otherwise have at it.
