Dating Tools

for Christians

Whose churches, mamas, and pastors don’t give the best advice.

Feeling lost in the confusing world of dating as a Christian? Trade your confusion for biblical insight, practical resources, and a powerful community of singles to help transform your dating life!

Dating Expert, Author, Overachiever, Ex Love-Addict

Hey friend, it’s your girl Kait!

I’ve had my fair share of unexpected heartbreaks, nightmarish first dates, and unexplained ghosting. Believe me, I’ve seen it all (and dated it all), and if you’re anything like I was, you’re probably fed up with advice from well meaning pastors who got married at 22 and have never actually had to swipe their way into an oblivion.

Here’s the deal, as a woman who dated for 18 years well into the modern age of dating apps and ghosting, I can confidently tell you: dating can get better. I went from loathing this process, to walking in my worth, feeling confident to make a move, and finally dating with joy and integrity. Eventually I met the RIGHT guy for me… JJ Tomlin! But not gonna lie, he was totally unexpected. When I met him he was a skater punk boy with blue hair living in Seattle and was 5.5 years younger than me. I never would have seen myself dating someone that much younger than me, BUT GOD had other plans! And guess what is even more unexpected? God brought our paths TOGETHER to now serve single Christian men and women in a fresh and new way. How GOOD is our God?

If you let us, we’d love to meet you where you are, love on you, challenge you a bit, but most importantly help you truly LOVE this time in your life.

(PS. I only have one rule: you have to be willing to talk about the hard stuff, k?)

What is up my friends!

I have definitely been on a journey of dating like a boy to dating like a man. I have been on both sides of the ghosting, left on read, broken up with and rejected so I FEEL you! 

I definitely get the unspoken, complicated rules of the dating game. I understand the double-standard of being part of the male species who are criticized for leading too boldly, then again for not leading enough at all.

At the end of the day, the only way I believe we can effectively lead is by dying to ourselves and becoming the greatest servant-leaders. That is the true sign of man leading a relationship with wisdom, clarity and selflessness and what we at Heart of Dating challenge our men to strive for.

TELL ME MORE!

"It’s the real deal. I didn’t know what to expect and my expectations aren’t easily blown but it’s really dope. You get to create your own profile, pick out your interests and be grouped with people who share the same interests. For example, I love self improvement and enneagram. There’s already an enneagram group and naturally I’m already vibing with people in the group. You owe it to yourself to AT LEAST give it shot."

Adam

"As a new person to HOD, it has tons of great offerings that just have never lived in one place and that connects both guys and gals while still allowing for a spot for men to meet. I'm super impressed with how clean the interface is and how truly connected I feel with the HOD brand in this initial launch. JJ, Kait, and the team did a killer job with it."
