Keeping Kingdom Dating and Marriage Anchored in Faith, Not Fear
At Iconic Marriages, we do not sell you fear.
Most times, those that are in power sell fear because the masses react how they want because they are afraid. Yet, our Kingdom Marriages and Dating eSeries is led by the scripture in Mattew 6:33 as our blueprint. It is God’s command not to control us but to protect our lives.
We are called not to worry but to put our trust in a Holy and ever-present God. But that is always our own choice. God doesn’t make us do anything. He is a gentleman wanting our consent to His blessings for our lives, our marriage, and our family.
Why not take them?
I could be afraid right now living in a world without my dad for the first time in my life. And yet, thanks to his love and guidance, I am unworried. His wisdom was unique and specific to help me maneuver through a world that isn’t out for my best interest. My siblings and I could rely on him to give us a much-needed boost, some special humor, or another perspective to keep us through.
I do not have that anymore.
What I do have is my dad’s strong faith in Christ Jesus and how he was able to love my mom no matter what America was going though, his faith to send three of his kids into military service, to trust us all in who we married, and for him to be there for the baptism of some of his grandchildren.
He taught us where our faith was to lie no matter who ran our country. That is what sustains my husband and I today to put this Kingdom work first and that all our needs will be met as we work to be in right alignment with God’s will for us.
In a world where political shifts and societal uncertainties often dominate headlines, it's easy to get swept up in fear and anxiety. The constant barrage of opinions, crises, and cultural shifts can leave us wondering how to stay grounded—especially in our relationships. But as believers, we are called to something higher: a Kingdom mindset, one rooted in faith rather than fear.
When it comes to dating or marriage, the world's chaos does not have to dictate the peace within our homes or hearts. Here’s how we can stand firm and keep our Kingdom relationships thriving amidst societal worries.
1. Fear is Not Your Portion
Scripture reminds us time and time again that fear is not our inheritance. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." When the news fills our minds with worry, we must counteract that with truth—knowing that God remains sovereign over all things, including our relationships.
Rather than letting fear dictate our choices, we can walk boldly in faith, confident that God’s hand is steady even when the world feels unstable. This assurance gives us the freedom to build relationships centered on love, trust, and divine purpose—not on worry about societal conditions.
2. Kingdom Standards Over Cultural Shifts
Political ideologies and social movements constantly change, but Kingdom principles remain timeless. Our commitment to godly love, respect, and covenant should not waiver based on what’s trending in society. Whether dating or married, our relationships should be built on biblical truths, rather than the world’s ever-changing values.
Instead of fearing what society is becoming, we must anchor ourselves in what God has already established. Our relationships can be a testimony of unwavering faith and joy in uncertain times—an example to others that peace is not circumstantial but found in Christ.
3. Guard Your Heart & Mind
Philippians 4:8 encourages us to fix our thoughts on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. In a time when negativity and fear can easily consume us, we must be intentional about guarding our minds.
This means limiting the time spent on negative media, avoiding toxic discussions that drain our faith, and instead prioritizing uplifting content that strengthens our Kingdom mindset. Whether it's prayer, worship, or encouraging conversations with faith-filled friends, maintaining spiritual focus helps us resist the fear society pushes.

Books to Strengthen Your Faith
The best fight against worry and fear is to get knowledge. Don’t just study the Word, definitely do that, but you can also get books and videos to strengthen your faith. You are not in this fight a lone.
If you're looking to deepen your trust in God and grow spiritually within your relationship, here are some books (not just mine) that can encourage you:
The Meaning of Marriage – Timothy Keller
Sacred Marriage – Gary Thomas
Single, Dating, Engaged, Married: Navigating Life and Love in the Modern Age – Ben Stuart
You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity – Francis & Lisa Chan
God’s Design for Man and Woman – Andreas & Margaret Köstenberger
Iconic Formula for Marriage Success- Nicole Pinkston
Each of these books offers biblical insight into relationships and faith, reminding us that no matter what the world looks like, God’s plan for love and marriage remains unshaken.
Stay Rooted in the Kingdom
No government, social movement, or cultural shift can override the foundation of a godly relationship. When fear tries to creep in, we must remember that our hope is not in earthly systems but in an eternal kingdom that cannot be shaken.
So, keep dating and loving with boldness. Build relationships with faith at the center. And let God’s peace—rather than societal fears—shape the future of your love story.
