Should Christians use dating apps, or do they go against God’s design for relationships? In this episode, we dive deep into both sides of the debate, exploring whether dating apps undermine God’s sovereignty and timing, promote individualism over community, encourage superficiality, and create risks of deception or instant gratification. We also look at the arguments from Christians who believe dating apps can be used with the right intent, expanding opportunities to meet like-minded believers, adapting to the digital age, and even becoming a tool God can use to bring two people together. Whether you’re sceptical about online dating or see it as a practical way to find a spouse, this conversation seeks to bring balance and perspective, showing how faith and technology intersect in the search for godly relationships.
