DIFFERENT – Chapter 7: Different Dating Differently| Pastor Abe Brown
❤️ DATING DIFFERENTLY
Stop Looking for the Right One. Start Becoming the Right One.
Dating can be exciting. It can also be exhausting, confusing, disappointing—and sometimes deeply painful.
Maybe you’re dating someone right now.
Maybe you’re wondering if a relationship is healthy.
Maybe your heart has been broken.
Maybe you’re divorced or widowed and wondering whether love could ever happen again.
Maybe you desperately want to meet someone.
Or maybe you genuinely feel called to singleness.
Wherever you are, there is room for you in this conversation.
This week in our DIFFERENT series, we’re looking at the beautiful story of Ruth and Boaz and discovering something incredibly freeing:
Dating Differently is less about finding the right one and more about becoming the right one.
We’ll talk honestly and practically about character, chemistry, boundaries, red flags, emotional safety, sex, community, discernment, singleness, and keeping Jesus at the centre.
And through it all, I want you to remember this:
Your relationship status is not your identity.
Before you are someone’s boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife, you are someone created in the image of God and deeply loved by Jesus.
Come exactly as you are. Bring your questions. Bring your story. Bring your hope—and even your hurt.
There is no shame, no pressure and no pretending.
Just Jesus, Scripture, wisdom, grace…and maybe a few dating laughs along the way. ❤️
Hope Church YYC | DIFFERENT: Dating Differently
Come as you are. Come with your questions. Come ready to encounter Jesus.
You are loved. You are valued. You belong.
