Why Is Christian Dating So Hard?

In Episode 2 of No Bad Questions, we’re talking about dating, especially what it looks like to date as a Christian in New York City. Walt Quick is joined by Andy Choi, Jaclyn Childress, and Dorcas Antwi for an honest conversation about the questions people often carry but may not know where to ask. Together, they talk about dating intentionally without making every interaction feel so high stakes, discerning compatibility and spiritual maturity, navigating dating apps and church communities, and learning how to handle vulnerability and rejection with grace. In this episode, we cover: - Should Christians only date and marry other Christians? - What matters most when considering shared faith and values? - How can you discern someone’s spiritual maturity while dating? - Are dating apps making us too selective? - Is it worth dating someone within your church community? - How do you show interest without trying to force an outcome? - Is it okay for women to make the first move? - How can we become less afraid of rejection? - What does it look like to date intentionally while still enjoying singleness? - How can prayer, solitude, and listening to God shape the way we approach dating? No Bad Questions is a podcast from Hope Church NYC creating space for honest questions about faith, relationships, culture, the Bible, and the things we’re often hesitant to talk about.
