Dating & waiting.

A short reading list for young adults: what the Bible says about purity, patience and partnership. No rules we made up. Just Scripture, and people to talk it through with.

  1. How to use it

    Read one card a day.

    Read the verse, then read the passage it points to. 10 cards, 10 days.

  2. How to use it

    Read it with someone.

    A friend from church or your small group. Read the same card, then talk about it.

  3. How to use it

    Talk to a pastor or leader.

    Questions about dating, waiting or anything in between are welcome. Your pastor or a leader you trust is the next step.
