00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,560
Ever wonder where to meet Christian single women

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,879
or men? I know some lonely Christian single

3
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:06,480
guys in one of the small groups I

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,700
lead who sure do.

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,480
A typical question in our support group goes

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,539
along these lines.

7
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:13,359
So how and where do I go about

8
00:00:13,359 --> 00:00:14,925
meeting a nice Christian girl?

9
00:00:16,045 --> 00:00:19,105
Since we were curious ourselves, aren't you guys?

10
00:00:19,405 --> 00:00:21,244
We decided to do some research on the

11
00:00:21,244 --> 00:00:21,744
Internet.

12
00:00:22,125 --> 00:00:23,904
What we found was quite interesting.

13
00:00:24,285 --> 00:00:25,024
For example,

14
00:00:25,564 --> 00:00:26,845
in 2025,

15
00:00:26,845 --> 00:00:27,904
American demographics

16
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:30,500
surveyed over 1,500

17
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:31,399
engaged couples

18
00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:33,880
to find out how they found each other.

19
00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:35,000
Here are the results.

20
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:37,700
Top ways where and how single men and

21
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:38,600
women meet.

22
00:00:39,299 --> 00:00:42,554
Friends slash relatives, 65%.

23
00:00:42,554 --> 00:00:43,934
Online dating services,

24
00:00:44,234 --> 00:00:45,054
20%.

25
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:48,015
Common interest activities, 10%.

26
00:00:48,395 --> 00:00:48,895
Other,

27
00:00:49,274 --> 00:00:50,015
5%.

28
00:00:50,634 --> 00:00:52,875
So what are single Christians supposed to do

29
00:00:52,875 --> 00:00:53,774
with these findings?

30
00:00:54,475 --> 00:00:55,409
Start by noticing

31
00:01:01,409 --> 00:01:04,370
Matthew seven, Jesus encourages us to practice a

32
00:01:04,370 --> 00:01:06,629
proactive type of faith when he stated,

33
00:01:07,329 --> 00:01:08,894
ask and it will be given to you.

34
00:01:09,055 --> 00:01:10,354
Seek and you will find.

35
00:01:10,814 --> 00:01:12,834
Knock and the door will be opened to

36
00:01:13,054 --> 00:01:15,155
you. For everyone who asks receives.

37
00:01:15,694 --> 00:01:17,075
He who seeks finds.

38
00:01:17,454 --> 00:01:19,054
And to him who knocks, the door will

39
00:01:19,054 --> 00:01:19,715
be opened.

40
00:01:20,575 --> 00:01:22,494
Of course, our lord could answer a single

41
00:01:22,494 --> 00:01:24,989
Christian simple prayer and supernaturally

42
00:01:25,450 --> 00:01:28,170
drop their perfect match into their laps. That

43
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:28,989
would be cool.

44
00:01:29,609 --> 00:01:31,450
But more often than not, he wants us

45
00:01:31,450 --> 00:01:33,530
to stretch our faith by putting us into

46
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:34,590
a position of

47
00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:36,750
prayerful seeking and not.

48
00:01:37,215 --> 00:01:39,295
I realize there are some Christians who feel

49
00:01:39,295 --> 00:01:41,474
that by their inaction, they are being spiritual

50
00:01:41,614 --> 00:01:43,614
and submissive to the lord's will for their

51
00:01:43,614 --> 00:01:44,114
lives.

52
00:01:44,655 --> 00:01:46,334
But our god is a god of action,

53
00:01:46,334 --> 00:01:48,575
and he calls us to imitate him as

54
00:01:48,575 --> 00:01:50,500
long as we do so in faith and

55
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:51,000
humility.

56
00:01:51,619 --> 00:01:53,879
10 ways to meet other single Christians.

62
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,745
and friends know you are seeking a mate

63
00:02:07,745 --> 00:02:09,064
and ask them to keep an eye open

64
00:02:09,064 --> 00:02:09,564
for

65
00:02:10,104 --> 00:02:12,291
you. Don't be embarrassed, but just step out

66
00:02:12,291 --> 00:02:12,925
in faith.

67
00:02:13,944 --> 00:02:16,025
Unless you express your needs, they can't help

68
00:02:16,025 --> 00:02:16,525
you.

69
00:02:16,985 --> 00:02:18,960
Remember that they know you the best and

70
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,479
may be able to spot a good match

71
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:23,360
for you. Many local churches host singles groups

72
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,699
that create a community of faith based individuals.

73
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,360
Participate in these groups to make connections and

74
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,659
find potential dates.

75
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,564
Step out of your comfort zone.

76
00:02:33,125 --> 00:02:35,365
Each year, more and more single Christians are

77
00:02:35,365 --> 00:02:37,465

78
00:02:38,245 --> 00:02:39,625

Has he ever failed you in the past?

100
00:03:35,155 --> 00:03:37,735
For younger singles, Christian colleges and universities

101
00:03:38,034 --> 00:03:40,455
often have groups and events geared toward connecting

102
00:03:40,514 --> 00:03:41,014

As noted in the above survey, friends and

111
00:03:59,165 --> 00:04:01,265
family members can be wonderful matchmakers.

112
00:04:02,525 --> 00:04:04,444

113
00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:06,865
other Christian singles might lead to an introduction

114
00:04:07,004 --> 00:04:08,064
to someone special.

115
00:04:08,444 --> 00:04:11,585

116
00:04:11,699 --> 00:04:14,500

00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:15,000

your faith. Christian singles often find it challenging

121
00:04:23,139 --> 00:04:25,959
to meet like minded individuals for dating relationships.

122
00:04:27,024 --> 00:04:28,944
