with

JJ Tomlin

Today we're diving in with JJ as he tackles the scarcity mindset in dating, shares practical tips for finding godly people, and opens up about his own dating challenges.

Introduction

Hiii HOD fam, we’re thrilled to drop a fresh episode today. Today's topic is something that touches many hearts and minds within our community: the elusive "Good Men" and the anxiety that comes from a scarcity mindset. We dive deep into how control, fear, and anxieties shape our dating experiences and how we can cultivate a mindset of abundance. Ready? Let’s go!!!

The Scarcity Mindset

In dating, the scarcity mindset tells us that great options are scarce. We've all been there—anxious that if we don't find someone by a certain age, we'll be left behind. This mindset stems from overestimating the control we have over our dating outcomes, leading to anxiety when things don't go as planned.

Practicality in Dating

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.

Where to Find Good Men

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.

Cultivating Humility

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.

Shifting from Scarcity to Abundance

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.

Authenticity Matters

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.
