There is often a tension as single Christians where we trust God’s plans for our lives, but also feel romantically lonely when dating hasn’t felt like a successful series of events. We want to always remember that it’s okay to start again and reinvigorate a healthy spiritual mindset whether we're single, dating, in a relationship or coming out of an intense break-up. We want to remind ourselves that there is no one same timeline for each of us, and encourage one another to focus on the importance of making decisions, and choosing partners from a place of abundance, and not a place of fear and lack.

How can we reignite a hopeful view of dating and romance after the end of a serious relationship? Watch as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Rio Summers in the Magnify Studio for Ep 44 ‘Swiping Left on Modern Dating: Detaching My Value From My Relationship Status’.
