Kingdom Dating & the Fruits of the Spirit: A Path to Restoration and Discernment
All over social media and in society there is a crying out for our newest generations and their disinterest in dating and marriage. Fear is on the rise of us losing our demographics and American population because the youth just doesn’t want to have a family anymore.
This was intentional.
I did articles before that laid out the 50-year plan to depopulate the country because at the time, they felt there would be a population bomb and too many mouths to feed. It worked. Through real plights of lack of resources, economic fights and gender wars, the modern culture views marriage and family as a burden and no reprieve.
All of a sudden, the people are late and realizing the plan has succeed they want to arm twist the youth back into marriage. But the same pressures that rested on past generations aren’t working. The kids are ignoring the elders and rightfully so because the elders forgot what God told us about marriage.
Marriage is supposed to be a reflection of Christ sacrifice for his bride the church. Instead, our kids are seeing dysfunction, multiple divorces, prime podcasts blasting genders and more. The chaos is making them opt out and check out.
It is sad.
Those of us in healthy and happy marriages long that others experience the same joy and peace that only love like ours can provide. I will coach those who wish to still give it a try. In fact, Iconic Marriage has a bold Vision that we can not only help you, but we can empower American men and women to build thriving social empires with the tools right here.
The good news is here!
In a world where dating often feels like a battlefield of heartbreak, confusion, and unmet expectations, Kingdom Dating offers a refreshing alternative—one rooted in faith, purpose, and the Fruits of the Spirit. For young men who have given up on love and young women seeking discernment, embracing these biblical principles can transform relationships and restore hope.
The Fruits of the Spirit in Kingdom Dating
Galatians 5:22-23 outlines the Fruits of the Spirit—qualities that reflect Christ’s character and guide believers in their daily lives. When applied to dating, these fruits create healthy, God-centered relationships that stand apart from worldly dating culture.
Love – Kingdom Dating is built on selfless, Christ-like love, not fleeting attraction or selfish desires.
Joy – A relationship rooted in faith brings joy beyond circumstances, rather than emotional highs and lows.
Peace – Instead of anxiety and uncertainty, Kingdom Dating fosters peace in knowing God is guiding the relationship.
Patience – Waiting on God’s timing prevents rushed decisions and heartbreak.
Kindness – Genuine care and respect replace manipulation and dishonesty.
Goodness – Kingdom relationships prioritize purity, integrity, and righteousness.
Faithfulness – Commitment is valued over casual flings or temporary connections.
Gentleness – Healthy communication and emotional safety replace toxicity and drama.
Self-Control – Boundaries are honored, ensuring purity and respect in the relationship.
How This Helps Young Men Who’ve Given Up
Many young men feel disillusioned by modern dating—burned by rejection, exhausted by games, or convinced that godly relationships are impossible. But Kingdom Dating restores hope by shifting the focus from performance-based attraction to faith-driven connection.
No more chasing validation—Instead of proving worth through status or appearance, men can lead with faith and character.
Freedom from worldly pressures—Kingdom Dating removes the pressure to conform to secular dating norms that often lead to disappointment.
A renewed sense of purpose—Men can embrace God’s calling in relationships, knowing they are worthy of love and partnership.
How This Helps Young Women Discern God’s Plan
For young women seeking clarity in relationships, Kingdom Dating provides spiritual discernment to recognize God’s best rather than settling for less.
Recognizing godly character—Instead of being swayed by charm or status, women can identify a man’s faithfulness, integrity, and leadership.
Avoiding deception—The Fruits of the Spirit help women spot red flags and avoid relationships that lack spiritual alignment.
Trusting God’s timing—Rather than rushing into relationships out of fear or loneliness, women can wait confidently for God’s best.
Conclusion: A Call to Kingdom Dating
Kingdom Dating isn’t just about finding a spouse—it’s about becoming the person God has called you to be. When young men embrace faith-driven leadership, and young women practice spiritual discernment, relationships flourish in ways that honor God and uplift both partners.
If you’ve given up on love or feel lost in the dating world, God has a better way. The Fruits of the Spirit offer a roadmap to healthy, fulfilling relationships—ones that reflect Christ’s love and purpose.
Are you ready to embrace Kingdom Dating and trust God’s plan for your relationships? Let’s walk this journey together!

Reviving America’s Dating Scene Through the Fruits of the Spirit
In a culture where dating often feels transactional, uncertain, or even exhausting, the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) offer a countercultural approach that can restore hope, integrity, and purpose to relationships. By embracing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, individuals can break free from toxic dating cycles and build relationships that reflect God’s design.
The Fruits of the Spirit & Relationship Revival
Love – Shifting from self-serving attraction to Christ-like love that prioritizes commitment, sacrifice, and mutual respect.
Joy – Finding fulfillment in faith rather than chasing fleeting emotional highs in relationships.
Peace – Eliminating drama, anxiety, and manipulation by trusting God’s timing and leading.
Patience – Resisting rushed relationships and learning to wait for God’s best.
Kindness – Replacing selfishness and dishonesty with genuine care and encouragement.
Goodness – Choosing righteousness over temptation, ensuring relationships align with God’s will.
Faithfulness – Restoring loyalty and trust, countering the culture of ghosting and casual flings.
Gentleness – Cultivating healthy communication and emotional safety instead of harshness or manipulation.
Self-Control – Honoring purity and boundaries, preventing relationships from being driven by lust or impulse.
How This Helps Young Men & Women
For Young Men Who’ve Given Up – Many men feel disillusioned by modern dating, believing that faithful, intentional relationships no longer exist. The Fruits of the Spirit restore hope, showing that godly relationships thrive when built on faith, not performance or status.
For Young Women Seeking Discernment – Many women struggle to identify God’s best amid a sea of worldly dating influences. The Fruits of the Spirit help discern true character, ensuring they choose partners who reflect Christ’s love rather than settling for less.
A Call to Revival
If America’s dating scene embraced the Fruits of the Spirit, relationships would shift from confusion to clarity, from heartbreak to healing, and from self-centeredness to Christ-centered love. This revival wouldn’t just transform individual relationships—it would strengthen families, communities, and the moral foundation of our nation.
Are you ready to embrace Kingdom Dating and be part of this revival? Let’s build relationships that honor God and uplift future generations!
