![]() ![]() ![]() I think we’ve elevated marriage to be the varsity to the JV singleness, which is an unbiblical idea that’s just not what the Scripture teaches. I think the church has missed it here, friends. The greatest marriage verse and singleness verse is: “Godliness with contentment is great gain,”-which has nothing to do with marriage or singleness-but everything to do with finding contentment. Here is what I think is going on: you see single people sitting there and they are looking at the married couples, going,-Īnn: Then you have the married people, looking at the single people, thinking, “Man, I wish I had that freedom.” It’s not really even mentioned because dating wasn’t something that was taking place at the time of biblical times.ĭave: So before we even get into this topic, talk to us a little bit about single because I know, often in churches, being a pastor-you’re a pastor-you look out there. You see how brilliant He is and how much He loves us to give us the instruction that He has given us.ĭave: Well, as you know, the Bible isn’t a dating book.

So yes you are sitting on the front row, watching disaster happen in the way that people date.Īlso, being a pastor, I’ve done dozens of marriages and people, who come together. JP: So much of ministry is pattern recognition. You watched dating sort of go wrong,-ĭave: -or you have so many questions, that you said, “I’ve got to write something to help couples/singles.” For years, you were at The Porch at the Watermark Church in Dallas and thousands of singles. We’ve already talked about a little bit about your book, as you’ve just said. It’s fun to get to preach the gospel, to preach the Word, and to watch lives being changed every week. There is a unique-I would tell you-a unique spiritual battle being fought there. JP, now, you’re a pastor of Harris Creek Baptist in Waco. She looked at me like, “You think those are hot?”ĭave: Now, you’re lying on radio. ![]() I mean, we are dating as a married couple.ĭave: She didn’t respond very good to that that means they are not that hot. I’m just glad that we can do this, man I have fun when we are together, truly.Īnn: We do, too I feel like we’re learning from JP a lot.ĭave: Yes, I’m glad we’re not dating anymore. He wrote a great book called Outdated: Find Love That Lasts When Dating Has Changed. In fact, today, we’re going to talk about dating with JP Pokluda. He was my baseball coach, and he knew-ĭave: But I got the girl, and we dated not long enough. I’m Ann Wilson.ĭave: And I’m Dave Wilson, and you can find us at or on our FamilyLife ® app.ĭave: I mean, I’ll never forget that. You will never date Dave Wilson.”Īnn: Because you had a horrible reputation-terrible.Īnn: Welcome to FamilyLife Today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that matter most.
