The Weird Theology of ‘Just Date Jesus’

"If you’re single, you’ve probably heard it before: ‘Just date Jesus’ or ‘Jesus is your husband.’ It sounds spiritual, but does it actually help? In this episode of the Route 77 Podcast, we break down the origins of this platitude, why it’s often unhelpful (and sometimes just plain weird), and what the Bible really says about our relationship with Christ. Is singleness just a waiting room for marriage? Are we truly ‘married’ to Jesus? And how can we find fulfillment in Christ without forcing Him into a role He was never meant to have? Join us as we unpack these questions and more—no weird wedding ceremonies required!"
