Dating and Doctrine

This week on DiscipleShipped, Jer and Jenn are joined by Josh for a candid, down-to-earth conversation about what Scripture says regarding men, women, and the roles God designed for each. They dig into calling, responsibility, complementarity, and the ways these roles actually play out in real life — the good, the messy, and the meaningful.

It’s spooky season on DiscipleShipped! Jer and Jenn dive into the darkly funny side of Christian dating — sharing user-submitted horror stories.Grab your cider, light a candle, and join us for a night of laughter, secondhand embarrassment, and fright.

Jer and Jenn sit down with special guest Stells to unpack the double hit of ghosting and burnout — two silent killers of modern relationships and motivation. Together, they explore what it means to feel unseen, how over-extension leads to emotional withdrawal, and why disappearing (or being disappeared on) leaves lasting marks on mental health. From personal stories to practical insights, the trio digs into healthy boundaries, emotional resilience, and how to reconnect when life leaves you drained.

Welcome to the debut episode of our podcast, DiscipleShipped, where we dive into real-life topics through a faith-centered lens. In this episode, we are joined by Kieth and Serena as we explore the purpose behind the r/ChristianDating community, and unravel the harsh realities and subtle nuances of online dating culture. We tackle everything from the superficial nature of digital connections, the rise of ghosting, and how worldly standards play out online versus in real life.

We're joined this time by Ender and Joshlan to discuss the intersection of theology and romance. What should guide Christian relationships? Does sharing doctrine matter? How different is too different? Expect hot takes, convicting convos, and just a little banter.
