Christian Momma’s: Should We Care If Our Children Date An Unbeliever?

in Relationships, Spiritual Growth on 04/25/19

Manny came home one day from school and jumped into his routine of telling me all about his day, classes, and friends. I was beginning to notice a certain girls name being said a lot in his recap over the course of a few weeks.

So, like any nosey mother, I asked him about her.

He went on to describe how they met in class, started talking, and have since formed a friendship. Manny eventually disclosed that he had a tiny crush on her but knew he wasn’t allowed to date (because he’s too young based on the standards James and I have set) and reassured me they were just friends.

The very first question I asked him was, “Does she love Jesus?” He gave me a weird look and said, “I don’t know” while shrugging his shoulders. I suggested he should ask her and we then continued on in the conversation talking about the rest of his day.

The next day when Manny came running off the bus he immediately jumped into telling me about his day and started with how he asked his new friend if she goes to church. He thought that was the “cooler” way of asking if she loves Jesus. 😉

He told me that she said no, but sometimes she goes around the holidays. Manny shared how he asked her if she had a relationship with Jesus and she said no.

After listening to him retell his conversation I asked if it bothers him that she doesn’t have a relationship with Christ and he looked at me and said, “I dunno, should it?”

I responded by asking him a question back, “Well it depends, how important is Jesus to you?”

He thought on the question for a second and responded by saying Jesus is important to him but asked if it even matters if the girl he likes does too.

I want to share with you what my response was in hopes that it will encourage you in your conversations with your teenager. I’m no means a perfect mother and just like many moms, I figure it out as I go. But, this topic is a common conversation many Christian mothers have with each other and a conversation we shouldn’t shy away from having with our children.

Why Christian Parents Should Care If Their Child Dates An Unbeliever

1. Foundation:  When Jesus is the foundation of our children’s lives, every decision they make and viewpoint they form will be based on that foundation.

In the same way, if Christ isn’t the foundation of their life their choices and viewpoints will come from whatever they make their foundation from.

When two people commit to a dating relationship with one another they slowly start to build that foundation together. We should ask our children what they’re going to allow in their foundation, who are they going to allow to shape it? How can they build a foundation that will not crack or break if it’s made out of different materials?

Christ calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him (Mark 8:34). I asked my son, “How can you expect to follow a Master who requires absolute allegiance if you choose to become “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24) with a person who disregards His claims?”

I showed Manny the scripture in Luke where Jesus talks about what it’s like to have Christ as your foundation in life to build upon and if he marries a woman whose foundation is not Christ and they build a faulty foundation together- it will crumble.

Luke 6:46-49 says, “But why do you call Me “Lord, Lord,” and not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

2. Sharing The Load: Christians are often told to not be unequally yoked with another unbeliever especially when it comes to the context of dating. That scripture in Corinthians isn’t referring to dating or marriage but it’s not a stretch to apply the concept to that area of our life or our children’s.

Manny didn’t know what being “unequally yoked” even meant, so I explained how a yoke is a bar or frame that is attached to the head/neck of two work animals, like an oxen. This bar is placed on both animals so they can plow and pull a heavy load.

The yoke keeps them in one accord, they no longer walk individually, and they walk as one. The purpose of the yoke is to make the burden of the load lighter. Furthermore, the same two animals were always used when joined together.

The farmer wouldn’t use two different kinds of animals because if the animals are built differently, one would carry more of the burden causing the other to weaken or give up.

Within the context of general relationships between a believer and an unbeliever, one may end up weakened or moving away from their faith due to the differences in their focus and direction.

When our children become adults there will be all kinds of events and seasons in life they will face. If Paul in Corinthians is warning us to not worship or partner in business with an unbeliever because of the unequal state of the heart how could we assume it’s OK to become one flesh with an unbeliever in marriage and not experience the same issues?

II Corinthians 6:14 says, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?”

3. State Of The Heart: I told Manny that I’d care more about his desire to be with an unbeliever then I would the actual decision because his desire to start building a foundation with someone of different beliefs would show me where his heart is at with Christ. And that is of utmost importance to this momma’s heart.

I want my son to passionately love Christ and serve Him all the days of his life. I’m spending these years raising him in The Word and teaching him about Jesus so when he becomes an adult he will not depart from those teachings (Proverbs 22:6). I shared with Manny that I want the desires of his heart to reflect the same desires of the One who created it.

We can encourage our children to use this as a tool to self-reflect. To ask themselves why they would or wouldn’t consider dating someone with a different foundation. To see where their heart is with Christ and to pray and seek guidance.

Proverbs 27:19 says, “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.”

While ending the conversation  I told Manny to spend time being friends with this girl. Ask her purposeful questions to get to know her and her viewpoints. To pay attention to the things she says while they hang out as they will reflect her heart.

After a few weeks, Manny came home and shared with me some things this girl had said in response to his questions and the conversations with his friends. He shared why he didn’t like some of her answers and how he saw that if they were old enough to date that it wouldn’t work out in the end unless he was willing to change and that’s something he’s not willing to do.

As parents, you and I should care who our children choose to date. I’m not saying this from a place of judgment but from a heart of encouragement. Often, parents find it hard to hear this message especially when their child is currently choosing to date someone who’s not in a relationship with Christ. But, please hear my heart on this.

I want your child, just like mine, to passionately love and serve Jesus all the days of their life and I want them to be with someone who is doing the same. I want them to take life on with a partner who can share the load and walk together with your child toward Christ. And according to The Word, Jesus wants the same.

    This is beautifully written, I agree with you, it is very important that our children are equally yoked even while dating.
    I praise God for your heart and your desire to help other point their children in the right path, God bless you.

    Such a timely article for me! Thank you for addressing this topic. I have two preteens at home and have already started praying for them in this area. You’ve done such a wonderful job of incorperating your personal experience with truth. I will be copying you in my conversations with my kids! Ha!

      You’re definitely not the only one! Which is why us momma’s need to open up to one another and listen with compassion and not judgment. We will realize we are much more alike.

Happy Easter!! •••• I met Jesus when I was Happy Easter!!
••••
I met Jesus when I was 14 years old. My brother invited me to church with him, I went, listened, and was given a Bible at the end of the service. ••••
I remember coming home and sitting on my bed with my new Bible in my hand. I sat there thinking of everything I was told that night and how it reminded me of everything I was taught when I was a little girl. ••••
After sitting there for awhile, I prayed for the very first time. Out loud I said, “OK God, if you are who they say you are, then why would you send your son to die for me, why wouldn’t you just die for me?”
••••
Immediately, and when I say immediately I truly mean with no hesitation a thought came into my mind. I heard, “Doesn’t a parent love their child so much that they would die for them? I love you so much more then that, that I would allow my child to die for YOU.”
••••
I knew the thought that had entered my mind was not from me. I knew it was God speaking directly to me. Since that day, I’ve followed Jesus, learning more about Him, and have dedicated my life to sharing about eternal life through Christ and all the goodness He is. ••••
The world will tell you religion is all about rules and what not to do. Can I personally tell you, that is not true. Following Jesus has given me freedom to truly live. I GET to do things because of Jesus. ••••
I get to love others because Jesus taught me how to love. 
I get to give to others because Jesus has given so much to me. 
I get to truly forgive because Jesus forgave me. 
I get to heal from the hurts life has thrown at me because Jesus has healed me. 
I get to live a life full of JOY because joy comes from Jesus! 
And sooo much more! ••••
My prayer for you is to passionately serve Jesus, have eternal life through Him, and to truly experience what is feels to live a life of freedom.

I spent a semester in Israel during my college yea I spent a semester in Israel during my college years @seuniversity. It was two months after James and I got married so, our first few months as a married couple were spent walking the same streets of Jesus. To say it was a cool experience would be an understatement. •••••••
During my time in Israel there were two moments that took my breath away. One of those moments was being in the literally prison hole that Jesus stayed in the night before He died. •••••••
Historical sites are given a grading scale. An A site is “this is for sure the site that XYZ took place.” An B site is “XYZ took place here OR there” And a C site is “XYZ took place somewhere in this region.” •••••••
Jesus holding cell is an A site. •••••••
I stood in the prison with my fellow students and professor and his family. We sang the hymn - “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus.” It was the only time there I wept like a baby. Snot and all haha! •••••••
But man, to be where your savior was knowing what was to come and He chose to do it anyways. I’ve never felt more love in that moment then I have in my entire life. ••••••••
So today, my prayer is for you to feel that same love. To know Jesus died today for YOU and that He came back for YOU! You are His chosen child. •

In January we lost my sweet mother-in-law very suddenly. It was a shock to us all and has taken us a bit to wrap our minds around. •
•

In addition to the loss of my mother-in-law, we’ve been navigating some health struggles. Now, with everything going on in our world, I can say it’s def been a year so far. •
•

But, God is good. If it’s not good- then it doesn’t come from God. The enemy is very real but nothing to fear because our God is bigger. •
•

So, Today, I want to take a moment to share with you what losing my sweet mother-in-law has taught me. It’s something we can all learn from and I hope it blesses you and encourages you. •

Hi, friend. I know it’s been awhile and I have Hi, friend. 
I know it’s been awhile and I have a post going up tomorrow that explains what the beginning of 2020 has held for myself and my family. 
But, I wanted to get one here tonight to share something that has been on my heart. 
You cannot turn on the TV or pick up your phone without the word “COVID-19” blaring at you. While it’s wise to be informed, these are times many can become anxious, full of fear, and worry. 
Friend, this is our time. And what I mean by that, it’s the Church body’s time. It’s our time to rise up and praise the name of Jesus louder then any other name or word. 
Can I remind you that Jesus conquered every sickness and disease! 
Every. Single. One. 
When He died on that cross. 
And He rose again. 
There are a lot of different beliefs on healing, authority, and what role it plays in our life today. I want to encourage you to seek Jesus through His word and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to His truth. 
When you find yourself reading this, do me a favor and pause. Look up Psalm 91. Read it, listen to it on repeat on the Bible app, and dwell in the presence of God. 
And then, wake up tomorrow knowing you are a child of the most high King- who rescues you from every attack of the enemy, who protects you from deadly diseases, who is covering you with His feathers and providing you shelter. 
I love you, friend. I’m praying for you.

My family and I just got back from spending a week in South Carolina for Christmas with my parents. •
•
•

Today was a day full of unpacking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and getting back into our normal routine. •
•
•

But, this morning while everyone slept I spent time praying and drinking some coffee. I have so many ideas, goals, and big dreams for my blog and this ministry. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who has used my blog posts to build a women’s ministry curriculum for her neighboring village in western part of Kenya. •
•
•

I thought about my reader in Papua New Guinea who is new in her faith walk and a simple google search looking for more of God’s word led her to my site. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who leads her local church with her husband here is the USA and was looking for a fellow female Christian to connect with and have a space to talk about things she can’t with those around her. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who was diagnosed with a life altering illness and found my site while searching for scripture on healing. •
•
•

I thought about you. The one who has visited and read time and time again. Who has listened while I shared from the deep parts of my heart on the struggles, the wins, the rejections, and the answered prayers of my life. Who has sent encouraging messages, shared feelings, and prayers. Who has in turn opened up to me and shared from the depths of their heart. •
•
•

As you know, I refer to my readers as ‘friend’ and that’s because a friend shows up, listens, encourages, shares, and prays. So, thank you. Thank you for being a friend. 
I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •
•
•

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •
•
•
I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •
•
•
Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •
•
•
Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •
•
•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•
•
Love you, friend. ❤️

I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •

I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •

Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •

Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •

•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•
•
Love you, friend. ❤️
