I am currently single. But recently about a few months ago me and this boy that goes to my church, he happens to be the pastors son, I noticed that I was starting to see him in a different way. And at the moment I thought I was crazy but I felt like God was telling me that that’s who I’m going to marry or that that’s who he wants me to marry. And I thought that for a few months and I prayed and prayed about it and ask God to take those thoughts away if it wasn’t for his glory or it wasn’t what he wanted for me. And one day I went to go visit my mom because I currently live with my dad and she said she wanted to talk to me about something. Mind you, I’ve never ever ever mentioned this boy to my mom. And for a long time I was praying to God to show me and sign if he really is the one for me. And my mom wanted to have a talk with me and she said the following “I don’t know if I’m crazy or if this is all in my head but I feel like God really, really wants me to tell you this. I think that you and the pastors son are meant to be more then just friends. I think that you guys will do extraordinarily things for the lord and he wants you to know that.” At the moment I was so shook and I started to cry. I was so overwhelmed with emotions because the thought I have been having taht I thought were from God but I wasn’t sure so I just kept denying it, it ended up being true. And once I got back home he said that he urgently needed to talk to me about something. And he said the following “I know this is going to sound crazy, and I know that this is completely out of the blue. But I truly feel that this is what God is telling me. I think that God wants us to be more then friends. Maybe husband and wife one day.” And at that moment I started to cry and cry. He said that he have been praying about it for about 5 months and the answer has never seemed so clear. And I have been praying about it for about the same amount of time. We talk about things and for now we are just friends. We are both very very young, he is 17 and I am 16. And for now we want to focus on God and have God be the main focus of our life. Because we don’t want to have to be in a committed relationship at such a young age. We want our relationship with the lord to be as solid as can be before we decide to go further into our relationship. This dating video really helped me see some views on what I should work on and what I should consider once me and this guy start dating. So thank you so much for this video and so sorry for the long story.
Lola Santiago great testimony and I pray the Lord keeps pouring truth into you and that, at your age you absolutely are right in that right now your focus should be on his word and prayer for guidance. You’re in my prayers too.
1. Date someone running towards the same cause as you 2. Initiate with Clarity (clarity your intentions) 3. Date with autonomy (lead with morality instead of desires) 4. Date with purity 5. Date graciously 6. Community 7. Date patiently
Im in a relationship with a puppet and it’s Been going amazing. We listen to love songs together and we just cuddle up and kiss. Our relationship is so romantic. I’m objectumsexual which means I have a romantic Attraction and feelings of love and commitment to a object. Im in love with a puppet and her name is Sandra jakoby, I love her so much, she beautiful and amazing. God approves of it to.
@@GentlemenJack109 confronting your heart is often difficult. I myself sin and fall short of the glory of God, as with everybody else in the world. While many struggle with addiction, lies, hatred, disobeying parents etc. Others struggle sexually. Dating an object is not Gods way or nature. In the recent years people have tried changing, twisting, misinterpreting and reinterpreting Gods word. But that will ultimately never change his judgment or ways. Our hearts are at many times deceitful and that is why we must trust God and not lean with our own understanding. I am also not here to judge you but to remind you that He will sooner or later judge you based off of your actions and believes. God wants you to follow him and his ways. Having lustful fantasies with an object is not what He has planned for you
1) date prayerfully 2) date with intentions; tell them your intentions. Be clear. Speak with clarity. 3) date with autonomy; date with morality. 4) date with purity; assess why you want to be with that person. It is not the sex that will make you see if you two are right for one another. 5) date graciously. Be kind to yourself and the other person. 6) community; don’t isolate yourselves but get together with a prayer/ any group whom will help to let you know if both are good for one another. 7) date patiently; be wise and pray as you are dating somebody. God creates your story and He loves you. Don’t compromise until you know the truth and they match up with what God intends you to be.
Thank you Nate and Sutton, I am 23, italian, and vergin. In Italy, girls have sex and boyfriends at 16-18. During teenage years, I felt so wrong and weird, I wasn't able to find a guy that I liked who liked me back. And all those rejections were God's protection! Now I wouldn't want those kinds of people I was attracted to, THANK GOD for protecting me. I wasn't Christian, now I am and it all makes more sense with this video too. Thank you!
That's really disappointing to hear about Italy. You might want to associate with those that have a preference for the Extraordinary form of the Mass. I think there might be some good men in those circles.
@@Waldemarvonanhalt if I understood well (i am not english) you say that in Italy there are also some good men different from the mass. Am I right? If yes, I completely agree with you! I am a good girl and there are also good boys, sure, I have no doubt about that. But who I was before subconsciously chose another kind of people. I didn't know what Love is, so I had so many toxic "relationships". But now I am open to Love and I don't want that unuseful patterns anymore) , thanks to me and obviously thanks to Jesus 🥰
Sutton, I LOVE that you said, "When you're confident in your relationship with God, He takes away the desperation and anxiety that comes with dating." Speaking from experience, that is something I find SOOO true for life in general.
Not gonna lie, the way you guys smile and interact with each other is literally so inspiring. It makes all your videos even more powerful. Just wanted to say that you guys fill me with such hope - I trust that one day I too will find what you guys share together. Thanks for all that you do.
I’m 18, and I’m not a virgin. I thought that I owed my boyfriend (now my ex) sex, and I was too scared to have that conversation with him. I want the next time I have sex to be on my wedding night, and if a man doesn’t understand that, then he’s not the right man. If any young woman or man out there is reading this and feels like their SO is pressuring them to have sex (or even be intimate in any way), please know that you deserve better than that. Just because so many people have sex, doesn’t mean that you have to as well. I wish I had heard this when I was in that position.
I'm dating a guy who says he's a Christian. We've been going on dates but he just asked me when was the last time I was intimate. I told him I don't talk about that. He says he wants to get married but I'm not interested. He also keeps trying to grab my body parts! I'm trying to break things off.
I’m the only one that is reading the comments while listening to the video?? lol. I love you guys, and I’m so happy that God is using your relationship to teach others so many incredible things. Sending blessings❤️.
It’s important for both of us to know who we are in Christ and that we are complete in Him. “A 3 chord strand is not easily broken.” He has to be the center of my relationship. -The Hirtz Life Show🎥📺🙌🏼 (Age 32 and waiting 🙋🏻♂️lol)
Age=31 still waiting We have to trust our god .becz he knows desires of our heart.in this single season we have to get more closer to GOD.. Yes no compromise. Becz god has some for us beyond our imagination..🙌🏼🙌🏼
Your wel come Hirtz...🤗🤗 We all are in christ we have to encourage to each other. Becz we are going in same Page... And Iron sharpen Iron🙏🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is so crazy, I just watched the "How to date" sermon from Passion City Church Washington D. C twice this past week. And I was more excited about your video this week than I usually am 😅 God is speaking, thank you for letting Him use you 🙏❤️
Hey Nate and Sutton, I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I have not even watched it, haha, but in the last few days, I have always been thinking about Dating as a Christian. I'm 20 years old and I've been single for my whole life but I am praying for my future wife because I know that God has someone in store for me. God is so real and he is listening to us all the time, why else would you upload a video about what I was thinking of the last couple of days. Thank you and God bless you!!
Great advice! There is a right way to date. Having a close relationship with the Lord first is best. He will always lead you the right way. He will definitely let you know if the person you are dating is not the one.
Thank y’all so much for being such a good role model for everyone! I’m 18 and waiting for marriage. I haven’t had a boyfriend in a couple years and waiting is hard. I’ve had to learn that I can’t go out trying to find someone I have to wait for God to show me who he has made for me. I love y’all so much!!
Kat Whaley I just wanted to say that I totally understand what you are going through. I am 21 right now. Before this last year, I was trying to take things into my own hands instead of giving it to God. Like you said, once I stepped out of my own way and waited on God’s timing that’s when He sent my now husband to me. Continue praying and walking with Christ. He’s got you! Hope you had a great Sunday!
That is great you know this at 18! At that age I learned to not rush into a relationship (even a Godly one). It is important to first seek God about a person who is interested in you. And meanwhile you can seek God on his plan for your future. He will make it known to you. God's plans are best and his timing is perfect. I too am single (22 yrs & almost single a decade lol) but I now know God will give me a husband someday.
Kat Whaley hey Kat, I’m also 18 and I’ve been single for 3 years and I’ve been struggling a lot lately with having patience, but I’m trying my best to trust God’s timing and prepare myself for marriage 😍 Oh and it doesn’t help that I have a new crush every couple days 😩😂
Finding the right person it’s not always going to look simple, sometimes it takes you getting out of your comfort zone and asking God to give you the wisdom and discernment to choose the right person, and to give you the confidence to open up and meet people because you never know what God has in store but you can’t don’t want a put pressure so much on yourself, just stay true who you are and the right person will see that
Was literally talking about this topic today with people as I'm a young person in Christ. Marriage and dating always fascinated me before I came to Christ but now that I've grown I'm excited about the topic but I wanna do it the right way. The Godly way!
Aw y'all are so sweet and cute together. This video was really authentically and transparently produced and I can feel the genuine love between you. Thanks for sharing your experience. Peace + Blessings.💜🙏🏻✝️
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL. Absolutely needed to hear all of that thank you guys so so much you are both gifts from God and may he bless you both and your family and your home💗💗💗
I loved the part about clarity! It's so necessary! For my boyfriend and I it's an area we both need to work on (especially as long distance leads to more miscommunication)
Wow I watched the whole video to then at the end what Nate said about not compromising hit home !!! Thank you so much for this !! I needed to hear that right now
I'm only halfway through the video, but I just wanted to say that I really needed this. Thank you guys for imparting your wisdom and such perfect timing. God bles you both in your marriage, family and in this awesome ministry that God has given you. 😊😇
Thanks guys! I'm Crying right now, because I realize now that as a virgin, God has in a way dragged me away lol from previous suitors that turned out to have different mindsets when it came to dating and relationships. Your channel gives this Christian girl hope that one day God will present me with someone who shares that common mindset and belief system. I'm praying!
ur videos have helped me soooo much!!! i look forward to ur new videos every week! my faith has grown so much stronger bc of u guys. thank u so much for sharing God’s word and beautiful christian messages. i love u guys!!
I loved this video y’all did great!!! My 15-year-old girl and I’m a Christian and I love watching your advice videos you have definitely helped me out a lot !!! Keep it up 👍
Thank you for the advice!! ❤️ I recently began dating someone. And we both know our intentions. We have clarified where we want to take our relationship to. I also made it clear that I am saving myself for marriage and he respects that. I think what we may be struggling with is patience. Our relationship has developed fast in just a couple weeks. We already know that a forever is possible for with us as long as we put God always first. But, we are both still young, and I think although we seem to be focusing on our goal we may need to focus more on the process of getting there. It’s nice dreaming about our future together but I’m realizing that we should take a step back and ask, “okay, this is what we want. How will we achieve it?” Idk. But this was a nice reflection about my dating life rn. I really enjoyed the advice thank you so much❤️❤️ I look up to guys and you guys inspire me to have a relationship similar to you guys. A relationship that is full of love and is God fulfilling. I want to ask for your prayers. I pray that God guides me in my relationship and so that it turns into something beautiful. ❤️
I love Nate and Sutton’s videos!! I’m not currently looking to date at the moment, but these tips are so helpful and I will definitely take them to heart! 😊 Thank you so much for the videos guys! I appreciate the advice! You guys are making a huge difference! God bless you both! (And Oaklan too! 😄)
Guys-seriously, your best video yet. Truth!! Also would want the actually verses you referenced! It’s looking like I need to study more of Proverbs. Keep it up. Thank you!
Everything was good! Wise Words! But what struck me the most was "do not compromise" Many people do this in dating and I thank you for pointing these points out to us! We love you💕
Thank you for being the voice of God that people can hear!!! This is so needed!!! I hope many people can implement these suggestions and create a beautiful union!! May God continue to use you and this platform to reach so many more people!! May you always have Holy Spirit inspiration!!
I am also encouraged by your relationship with Sutton. I pray for God's love and Grace to increase in your lives. I know that someday I will share my testimony of finding amazing love.
wow that message at the end when nate said "I dont know who needs to hear this" I NEEDED IT SO BAD! Thank you. i find myslef settling so much because i think i will never find better but you are right! God had better plans for me :)
I was lierally waiting for your upload .... and i love it great advice and content . I hope you would download twice or more a week because of how inspiring you are
Thank you very very much and thank God for leading me to this video. I really really needed to hear the last part of what you said Nate. I'm glad I stayed till the end. May God bless you guys so much!😊
Hello! My name’s Marie, I’m a new subscriber and just wanted to say I really enjoy watching your videos! They’re super helpful. I’m so glad I found some people who have most (if not all) of the Christian relationship belief’s that I have. ❤️ Thanks for posting videos! God bless y’all. 😘
God bless you guys so much..... I just discovered your channel yesterday and I love your messages through your videos 🙏🙏🙏..... I pray more Grace in your walk with God🙏🙏🙏..... Shalom
I absolutely love you guys and y’all have been such an inspiration to me as a fellow Christian RU-vidr!! I admire how you make sure that God’s love and glory is shown in every video!
Loved to see you both Nate and Sutton! Your Love story is truly Gods design! It's still shine and be seen to the both of u😍 Thanks for the Godly tips. God bless u!
Great advises! Very straight forward and simple. Dating should definitely be fun! There's nothing like starting a relationship with the strongest solid foundation, with our feet on the rock.
It's such a blessing to see you guys Nate and Sutton, you lives shows me what God is doing for HIS faithful, such an inspiration, thank you guys, and all glory to God
Thank you so much. I stumbled on your channel tonight and I’ve been watching your videos🤗 I feel so blessed and happy right now. important things I’ll do is to always pray and keep my relationship with God growing so I could always hear from him in-order to make the right decisions and get the right directions from him. I’m 20 and a virgin, I’m now very determined to wait till my wedding night and not only that, also always pray to God to give me the perfect man He has designed for me🙏
I have been very encouraged by every of your videos! Thanks Nate and Sutton! If people ask me what a healthy Christian marriage is like, I think it is what your marriage is :)
Guys I really loved this. I have lived a lustful past and 100% it was harder to cut off the attachment if we had already been intimate. I found myself staying even when I felt like the person was so wrong for me. God intended for us to have sex but within marriage because that soul tie is so hard to break. He doesn't want us to feel that pain. What a Great God we serve. And also thank yall for being the light on social media.
This video reminded me of Ben Stuart's amazing series on relationships: Single, Dating, Engaged, Married. Thank you Nate and Sutton for showing me (a lil 17 year old Christ follower) what a true, Christ-centered relationship looks like.
