00:00Welcome back to part two of the three C's of Christian dating apps.

00:05In part one, we talked about the connection, the incredible pro of the Christian dating

00:11apps that helps us find other believers.

00:14But today, we're stepping into the tension, because that same power for connection has

00:20a dark twin, and it's the thing nobody wants to talk about, the compromise.

00:24This is where we get real about the spiritual and emotional dangers.

00:31This isn't just theory for me.

00:34I felt the drain of endless scrolling.

00:38And it's not just a guy thing.

00:40I've heard from so many women in our community who say apps make them feel disposable, like

00:48just one of a thousand profiles.

00:51It's exhausting.

00:52It can make you compromise your standards just to feel a spark of connection.

00:59And that directly contradicts our calling.

01:03As it says in Romans 12.2, do not conform to the pattern of this world.

01:09The pattern of the world is consumerism.

01:13And that's exactly what these platforms can fuel.

01:16The biggest danger is what I call the illusion of alignment.

01:19A checked box doesn't equal a shared heart.

01:24You are still judging a soul made in the image of God by a few curated photos and a witty

01:30bio.

01:31This is a reduction of a person.

01:34This environment leads to compromise.

01:37You might overlook a lack of spiritual depth because they're funny or attractive.

01:42It fuels a consumer mindset.

01:46I'll just keep swiping.

01:47There might be someone better.

01:49It can leave you feeling more isolated and weary than when you started.

01:55So, the compromise is the real danger.

01:59It's the illusion of alignment and the consumer mindset that can conform us to the world's patterns

02:05instead of God's.

02:08So, if connection is good and compromise is bad, where does that leave us?

02:14Are we just stuck in the middle, forced to choose between loneliness and compromise?

02:20Absolutely not.

02:21There is a third way.

02:23A path that acknowledges the reality of both without getting stuck in either.

02:29And that hope, that Christ-centered strategy, is exactly what we're going to build in part 3.

02:37This is heavy stuff.

02:39If you've felt this compromise, the weariness, the hurt, I want you to type me too in the comments.

02:48Let's acknowledge this isn't easy.

02:51Subscribe so you don't miss the conclusion in part 3, the Christ-centered strategy.

02:57We're moving from problem to solution.

03:00Hold on to hope.

03:02The answer is coming.

03:05See you then.
