Christian Women Are Running Tests on You (And the Church Won't Warn You)

The Christian dating and marriage world is broken — and the men inside it are paying the price. In this episode, I sit down with Matt Wilson of the Effective Purpose podcast to talk about what's really going on with Christian men: why so many "good guys" stay single into their late 30s, why churches refuse to call out female sin while piling accountability onto men, and why the "just be more godly and a wife will appear" advice has produced a generation of frustrated, checked-out men. Matt was 36 when he got married. He stacked chairs after church. He taught at Bible college. He did everything the church told him to do — and watched less serious men get picked first, over and over. His story isn't rare anymore. It's the new normal. And the church still won't talk about it honestly. We get into the uncomfortable stuff: worthiness tests (yes, Christian women run them too), why protecting a woman's reputation isn't the same as protecting her soul, the financial reason pastors won't preach hard truths to women, and the OnlyFans-to-baptism pipeline — is it real repentance or are we handing damaged women to faithful single men and calling it grace? If you're a Christian man who's done everything "right" and is wondering why it isn't working, this conversation is for you. If you're a Christian woman who actually wants to understand what your husband or your single brothers in Christ are dealing with, listen all the way through.
