Previously, we talked about how Evangelical Christianity\u2019s guidelines and restrictions surrounding sex, love, and dating can be overwhelming, challenging, and damaging to young people navigating these practices within the culture. In a continuation of that conversation, we are looking at how adults in Evangelical Christianity approach these practices. Spoiler alert: it\u2019s very similar to how teens and young adults are taught to approach them! Why is that? So many things come into play here. In this episode we are looking at dating practices that affect \u201colder\u201d people, as well as a few trends, beliefs, and attitudes that add to the challenges inherent in romantic relationships in Evangelical Christianity.
