46. Is it Okay to Date a Guy Who's Not a Christian?

UncommonTEEN: The Podcast for Christian Teen Girls

This week's episode, I am going to answer a question that I have had from so many of you amazing ladies recently: Is it okay to date a guy who's not a Christian...even if he's a really great guy?"
Okay, so just a disclaimer before we jump into this episode, this is not an episode where I tell you not to date…it’s not an episode where I tell you at what age I think you should date. That’s between you, your parents and God.
However, if you ask my opinion on when you should date, what I would tell you is, wait until you’re ready to get married.
And just so you don’t think I’m pointing my finger at you…I was there myself!

Or what fellowship can light (God calls you the light of the world) have with darkness (people who don’t know God).
There are several reasons God had Paul write this in the Bible, because there’s so much truth to it.
There’s a guy that you really like…he seems great…and are probably great…however, when you get into a relationship with someone who doesn’t believe in Jesus, you aren’t playing on the same playing field.
