Why Christian Dating Feels BROKEN (And No One Explains Why)

Why does Christian dating feel so broken — and why does no one seem willing to explain it?

This video takes an honest look at Christian dating in today’s culture — not through hot takes or shallow advice, but by clearly defining what Christian dating is supposed to be and why it feels so dysfunctional right now.

It starts with laying a biblical and practical definition of Christian dating, then break down the real forces quietly undermining it — both on an individual level and within church culture as a whole.

🔍 The Individual-Level Problems

Many of the struggles in Christian dating aren’t random. They’re the result of three major issues most people never address:
• Brainwashing – unbiblical beliefs and cultural narratives absorbed without question
• Trauma – unresolved wounds shaping attraction, trust, and expectations
• Baggage – emotional, spiritual, and relational patterns carried into dating

These factors don’t just affect relationships — they distort how people see dating entirely.

⛪ The Church Culture Problem

Beyond the individual issues, there’s a much bigger problem:
The Church has deprioritized discipleship.

The result?
• A growing imbalance of women to men in congregations
• Spiritually immature dating environments
• Churches focused on attendance and programs instead of formation

When discipleship disappears, Christian dating doesn’t just struggle — it collapses.

This video isn’t about blaming men, women, or the Church.
It’s about clarity, truth, and starting a conversation most people avoid.

If Christian dating has ever left you confused, frustrated, or discouraged — this video will help you understand why.
