How to Know He’s a Good Godly Man: Christian Dating Discernment for Women

How do you know if a man is truly a good godly man or just someone who says he believes in God? In this sister-to-sister episode of Girl, Date the Good Guy, Emily Jordan talks about the importance of Christian dating discernment and why women must look beyond words to evaluate a man’s character, spiritual fruit, and relationship with God. Not every man who claims to be a Christian is walking with God. Scripture reminds us that even deception can look spiritual on the outside, which is why discernment through prayer and the Holy Spirit is essential when dating. If you desire a God-led relationship or marriage, it’s important to slow down, seek God’s guidance, and watch the fruit of a man’s life over time.
