The Christian Dating Problem Nobody's Talking About

In this episode of The Student Guide, Jeffrey speaks with Jade, Chief Executive Officer of the Two22 Club, a verified Christian singles community with around 350 global members focused on connecting each member with their person through events, watch parties, and matchmaking. Jade shares how the club began after she prayed “God use me,” starting a group chat that quickly grew, and explains how hospitality, warmth, and carefully chosen volunteer “wingmen” help create a safe space for singles. They discuss connecting beyond surface-level chat by resisting dating-app dynamics, what biblical dating looks like in 2026 (intentionality, dating one person at a time, and avoiding compromises like premature physical intimacy), and what needs to change in Christian dating culture: living out genuine Christian values. Jade also brings a photo of her mother as her treasured item and reflects on obedience, leadership, and trusting God’s guidance.
