Dating. For some, it feels exciting. For others, it’s confusing or even painful. But what if God’s design for dating could actually bring peace, clarity, and joy?
This week on Meet the Mitchells, we’re talking all about dating with God’s purpose in mind. We’ll share three big lessons that shaped our own journey: the true purpose of dating, how to honor God through healthy boundaries, and the practical steps that helped us move from confusion to clarity.
Along the way, we get real about our own ups and downs—including a breakup, forgiveness, and the role of mentors and community in helping us date well.
Whether you’re just starting to date, wrestling with boundaries, or wondering how to know if someone’s “the one,” our hope is this: that you’ll see dating not as something to fear or fumble through, but as a season God can use to grow your faith and prepare you for the future He has planned.
