Regarding dating, none!😶😶😶😶

Stop searching for the right person and become the right person. You won't have healthy relationships if you have a toxic relationship with yourself. Love yourself to completeness.
🙌
Amen❤
What about a healthy relationship with Christ?
Thank you for this because being single is so hard.
I hate it here ..
I’ve prayed, I’ve fasted, I’ve cried and it’s working for everybody else but me ..
I know I am completed and content in Christ. I’m not looking for a man to complete but someone who complements me.
I’m a natural giver and lover. I shower everyone with love and I have so much to give.
I am the one everybody asks for relationship advice especially biblical advice, but here I am ..
it just hurts.
But thank you for the encouragement.
I love Bianca!
Jazmyn, I pray this makes you feel encouraged today!
Waiting on God can be a challenge, but no matter what, we can trust He’s always at work. If you’re looking for encouragement or wisdom on how you can navigate the coming days with faith and patience, this is a great place to start: finds.life.church/tag/trust/

Be Blessed!
God hears you! God is working in the background even when you don't see or hear Him. I hope this encourages you. He knows, and I believe that your desires for marriage are pure and unadulterated with low self-esteem or anything like that.
Those that wait on the Lord will renew their strength. Draw strength from God in worship, prayer and be encouraged by testimonies instead of discouraged (especially if the testimony is about a long wait!)
@@fifipuffball5000
Wow!
Thank you for this
Thank you for taking time to respond to my struggle when I least expected it.
May the almighty God bless your heart.
i 've been single and celibate for 5 year's so I can understand your struggle. The thing thats help me so much is my singleness has made me whole and in the process God has given me glimpse of my wife and family.
Have faith and PREPARE FOR WHATS already prepared. Love arrives when God knows youre ready.
@@MrEugene13
Thank you and bless your heart for these encouraging words!
May God grant you your heart’s desires, and may all your plans succeed as long as they’re according to His will.
Keep watering your seeds.
Amen Patience is a virtue I pray for my future wife every day even though I’m still single 😂 God‘s time is perfect🙏
I'm 20 and I'm in university. My uncle had a terrible marriage and I stayed with him growing up, so I witnessed how terrible a wrong relationship can be. Like it ruined his entire life. It kinda made me a little bit scared of dating and getting married. This series has been a huge help in dissolving my fears. Thank you Pastor Craig
@Victory Amani - We Love to hear how these messages on relationships have spoke to your heart! ❤️ We’re praying for you as you navigate the world of singleness and dating. If you’re looking for wisdom or support, you can find both here: finds.life.church/tag/dating/

Having no relationship doesn't bring for a great life either, but it's where I find myself at 70. Some things we hoped for never happened. I think with me my parents' toxic marriage and my childhood sexual abuse destroyed any chance for me to find a healthy marriage relationship. I spent years trying to better myself, but I finally accepted that for me singleness is the best way to live out my life.
I’m a be blunt we can preach God timings and God’s will all day but the truth is are you stepping out of your comfort zone or just staying in your house, God says walk by faith. If you want something go get it and have trust in God but don’t think God going to blessed you a relationship if your just sitting in your house and relaxin.
Amen, thank you for your boldness! God Bless you!
Myriam - LC Social Media Team
Melissa, you know how many people received and got the blessing just being at home. It’s according to everyone’s faith. Just like it is written according to your faith it shall be unto you. Gods ways aren’t our ways. We think we should do this and that, that’s our train of thought but his thoughts aren’t our thoughts. You can keep going out and stepping out telling your mind you’re doing it by faith and still years go by and you won’t have it. To everything there is a time.
But im super shy and dont like being out 🥲 plus i have no friends, lol. Im actually trying to make christian friends before i date anyways. I just have no idea where to start since im not going to church ( since a year ago with the lockdown). Like when i go to school i dont know how to make close friends, and most of the people i tlak to are also not strong Christians. Most are luke warm, but i Want to have a relationship with someone who will strengthen not weaken my relationship with christ. (Platonic & romantic)
@@SG-bh2ij so are you single or not?
@@immanuelsigi714 I am.
Im absolutely loving this series. As a single I've been hit with so many truths and I love it. Thank you for this and God Bless.
🙏
Same here...
Count me in. Very well said.. Godbless us all singles listening to this.
Amen
Soooo I’m in California, where are you?? Lol

”Whoever finds God, finds life!”
Let us have no person, circumstances, or idol in life to drive a wedge between us and Christ. Let us make the intentional choice to remove all obstacles that would hold us back from a relationship with our Great Father.

Wrong person + right person = wrong relationship. Wow, I've watched the first part of the series and now watching this, this definitely is needed as a young adult. Thank you so much church this ministry
Thanks for sharing! We are so glad that the message series has had an impact on you. Praying that it continues to do so!
I love love love her approach to this topic! The way us Christians approach the idea of finding someone isn’t always the best, but this is truly it.
@Augustina B. TV - Amen! 🙏🏻
Have always been thinking that I met the right person on the wrong time but realised that God is giving me a chance to transform my life and become a better version of myself so that I can be the right person at the right time for my right person.
Beautifully said, Alem Lkr 💛🙏
Beth - Team LC
I’m enjoying Bianca’s series so much! I’m 68 and would have loved hearing these messages in my 20’s!!
So glad you are enjoying it, Celeste!
Seeing this comment makes me realize how I am so blessed to have access to these types of sermons on my phone at my young age. Without the guidance of Christian people and women in my life, idk where I’d be
This series has truly blessed me in so many ways. As a single woman, I'm glad I'm choosing to walk in faith. God truly is molding me to be the woman He wants me to be. God bless you all!
🙏
@Tyler Lee Hi Tyler! I agree! I think about it, too, and our pain truly has a purpose. I'm the same in that now that I'm in my 30s, I am more at peace.. Even though we have struggles in life. Just knowing God has us in His hands keeps me going! I'm constantly being molded and it's such a blessing.
No, I don't mind at all.. Honestly, it's something I don't really think about. If a relationship happens then it happens! It's not my main priority is what I'm saying 😊 (haha although of course there are days where I'm like, "where are they found?!" Lol)
I believe God put this video in my feed thanks for this content. God bless you
🙌🙌🙌
I love this series. As a single, this is very encouraging for me. 🙏❤
Thank you Lord for using these people. 🙏

G’day from Australia! Good timing. Was so over the online dating scene today so I deleted my apps as I watched. Time to start dating Jesus. 💚✝️
🙏
Same boat here, dating apps have been gone for 4 months and it’s honestly the best thing ever, nothing feels better than giving it to God and trusting in his plans. Leaving it in Gods hands and looking to him instead of looking for a partner is life changing! From a fellow Aussie, God bless ❤️ xx

Still hoping for my Christian Soulmate....
I'm always praying,,,that the Right person to be with me......Thank you for this passage.....
🙏 Do not sit long hours reflecting on when the time will come. Sometimes we realize we sit in sadness more often than wed like before losing hope for a bright future. One thing that God does constantly is make us wait for things, CONSTANTLY. There is a value to it, a skill, a super power in being patient, but also a window that gives us the opportunity to journey inward.
Sometimes, we uncover that the problem is not that there isn't someone in our lives that should be there, but rather an empty void inside us that we must fill before giving ourself to someone else. If this is you, I encourage you to first ask Jesus to fill your void, and you will be set free of pain, then will you enjoy life.

SO GOOD !
Thank you Bianca! Amazing
@Andrea Dsouza - YES! We absolutely agree! ❤️
11:31 🤣🤣 THIS IMPRESSION, I cannot hahaha
This is sooo good!
For the long time I used to think that the soulmate is the only way to be fulfilled. I have read so many books with this kind of lie and I started thinking that it's must be something wrong with me or maybe I will never find this special one. But that wasn't true. The only one is Jesus - and I do not have to search for my soulmate. My husband and I found each other because we prayed for that, we wanted to go the same way through life and we felt that God wants us to be together.
🙏
I am in the same position! After reading so many books and watching so many movies i had the false idea of “my other half giving me happiness”. But like you said, True love & happiness is First and only found in Jesus. Our creator, savior, and Father🙏🏼
SOULMATE: Someone who matches you physically, complements you emotionally, and suited to you purposefully.
This is sooo right on time.
@G Faison - We love to hear that! 🙌🏻 Christina - Team LC
I LOVE THIS!
Not only was the message clear and impactful, but she gave examples and illustrations on what her points look like in practice! I truly appreciated that! I'm so mind blown. Thank you for this!

12-15 months? i think you mean minutes bianca 🥺 kidding but so thankful for this message 🙌🏻
She got soul and brought the house down!!
❤️
Because he would never stop loving me . I love Jesus, he would never hurt me. I was married for 45 years. My husband passed away from the effects of 9/11 so to find another love like we had it’s difficult there’s too much evil out there and I have a problem trusting so Life Church is my love Jesus is my love besides my family and for grandchildren and three great dogs that’s unconditional love that they give me so I’m blessed. Thank you Jesus thank you Life Church. Amen.❤❤🙏✝️
Amen! 🙏🤍✨

I like this pastor
Me too! He tries to be transparent 👏🙌
🙌
12-15 months!?! That seems a bit long... 😳 enjoyed the message. I think there is a lot of great Godly advice here.
12-15 months is just right! During that time frame, your goal is to get to know someone. This is the perfect time frame to figure out if you want to continue or not. As a Godly woman, I don't like wasting my time with someone who isn't ready. Timing is everything! You can't speed it up!
It depends on your age
Thank you so much for this amazing series. Thank you for recognizing that relationships are an important aspect of a Christian's life. I've really enjoyed Pastor Bianca. As a single Christian who doesn't know much about dating, this is a wonderful series. May God keep blessing and guiding all our relationships.
Thank you for sharing a bit of how this series encouraged you!
hallelujah!
Haha 🤣 🤣🤣 this woman is hilarious. Loving this series
AMEN !

The sociology professor is a Christian.
Professor Kerry Cronin, who has taught philosophy and theology for 22 years at Boston College, a Jesuit institution serving 9,500 undergraduate students. Cronin describes herself as both a “devout, traditional Catholic” and an advocate of traditional dating.
We have really enjoyed this series on romance❤️. On another note, who made Pastor Craig’s denim jacket?? ... asking for a friend!!
🙏
She is sooo funny...it is so helpful as it is not an easy topic😇❤
Such a good sermon!!!🙏
I just have one question - how do you define a christian/godly divorce?
Hi Judith, if you CZcams “Mike Winger Divorce” he has some great videos. He’s an incredible Bible teacher.
Glad you’re here Judith.
Thanks for sharing!
“And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.”
1 Corinthians 7:13, 15 NIV

This was a great service. Does this woman (couldn't find her name) have other services I could find or where could I find information about her preaching? I love Craig, Joakim, Amy, and all Life church pastors but I wanted to see some more of her too, I haven't seen her before. I think she's very genuine.
Hi! In the description of the video one of the hashtags is her name. I believe it’s Bianca Olthoff but I’m not sure of the spelling. You can type her name and find more videos or click the hashtag
🙏
Her name is Bianca Olthoff and she's the pastor of our church, The Father's House OC :)
Amen amen amen. And thank you, Bianca. Your passion is so beautiful and encouraging 💕
