JJ emphasizes the importance of being practical and intentional. Whether online dating or mingling in church groups, context matters. Just like choosing healthier food options makes it easier to maintain a diet, selecting the right venues increases your chances of finding a quality partner.

‍

Here are some practical tips:

1. Church and Community Groups: Meet like-minded individuals who share your faith.

2. Volunteer Work: Connect with someone while doing good together.

3. Online Dating (wisely): Use dating apps that promote meaningful connections.

4. Social Sports and Hobby Groups: Engage in activities that you enjoy and meet new people.

‍

Anxiety often stems from a desire for control. JJ suggests that the antidote is humility. Trust that God is in control of your life, allowing you to relax and reduce anxiety about meeting deadlines or life goals.

‍

JJ shares statistics to show that there are millions of potential matches within the Christian community. Realizing the vastness of the available pool can help combat the fear of scarcity.

‍

Finally, dating should come from a place of genuine connection. JJ encourages focusing on being your true self rather than "marketing" yourself. Remember, your love story is just a subplot of your life. By approaching new connections with authenticity, you’ll create more meaningful relationships.

Blessings to you all, HOD fam! God’s got this—step into your story with humility and trust.
