What is your dating mentality? Because what you think effects how you date. Because your mentality is so important when it comes to dating.  It’s really mind over matter. Your thought life impacts your dating life. And sometimes, the thoughts are much more subtle than you realize. I’m so excited to talk more about your dating mentality…and even more excited to have a panel of SINGLES (scroll down to meet them!) joining me for the next few episodes of the podcast in our SINGLES PANEL SERIES. We’re getting into the minds of Christian singles from across the country, asking them all about the dating scene, the single life, and everything you wanted to know about the opposite sex but never wanted to ask over the next three episodes. Today we’re talking about how your MENTALITY impacts how and who you date. It’s a mindset that you bring in with you to dating, and the health of your mindset determines the health of your dating life.  I can’t wait for you to hear this episode, and get to know our singles panel!

Andrew Kelley: Lancaster, PA  Instagram: @andrewtkelley I am from Waynesville, NC, and I moved to Pennsylvania almost 10 years ago. I work as a music director in Lancaster, PA at a church Hove with a team I love! I’m passionate about seeing Jesus’ church built, and strengthened, and I’ve loved that He’s allowed me to be a part of that through this season of my life. Joshua Barucky: Cleveland, Ohio Instagram: @joshua8646 I’m like if a tree trunk came alive, developed an offbeat sense of humor, and started serving God. When I’m not serving or developing my start-up, you’ll find me traveling, staying active, or chasing my cat around the house. Breauna Nichole: Dallas, TX @breaunanichole I’m excited about what’s to come! I’m putting in the work now to ripple into my family and rewrite what it looks like to be whole spiritually, emotionally and generously serve and give and reach others. Sandra Romero: Bradenton, Florida Instagram @color.bliss.designs Sandra is enjoying one of the best stages of her life as a single mother.   For Sandra, the trauma of an unwanted divorce in the hands of Jesus, has resulted in true surrender to God, healing of past wounds, restored hope, self awareness and new dreams for the future. She believes in actively partnering with God in the pursuit of all her dreams and hopes for the future, including a kingdom marriage.  She is happy to offer an authentic perspective representing a group of singles who have unique experiences.
