“Been following Stephanie for about 5 years. I do love how with her podcasts she makes it feel like it’s a girls night and has a heart for women and female friendship. Her singleness and dating topics helped me but I haven’t listened to to anything related to those on her podcasts recently due to feeling like I’ve taken that advice and I’m almost 30 and single. I get that singleness is hard any age and it’s not wrong to be married but being single in your late 20s and older is different than being single in your early to mid 20s. She said she thought she’d never get married but she didn’t have to wait that long still since she got married at 26. I love that her heart is for singles and advocating for them but feel that maybe those two topics are geared more to women who are younger. I also don’t know if I can listen to some of her older podcasts as I don’t agree with some of her guests conservative views anymore such as on complementarianism. I think it is important to not give the advice to just wait for the guy to show up or say he will come when you aren’t looking and that we can do our part as women. However, I don’t think it’s a one size fits all when it comes time trying to meet people. I get dating apps get a stigma and my close friend met her husband on a dating app, but I also think we shouldn’t force women to get on dating apps if they are feeling convicted from the spirit not to go on them. I also understand that most people are meeting on apps now but I think it’s important to remember that God still works with bringing two people together in other ways. I truly think everyone needs to seek God in this on how they can do their part, especially if they aren’t in college anymore. I think it’s also important to remember we can do all we can to put ourselves out there and try the apps, making our profile look good, and nothing has happened as that has been my experience. I truly think it is sometimes the timing and place as my friend ALMOST swiped on her husband because his profile wasn’t that appealing except for one photo. So you never know. I know she has talked a little bit about politics and voting, and has done interviews Jen Hatmaker and Meghan Tschanz, but I do wish she would talk more about social issues/social justice when it comes to systemic racism, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, and deconstruction. I get with having a platform and not wanting to lose followers but I believe we are supposed to be working toward social justice and ending oppression as Christians. But I understand if she is processing or it’s scary for her.”
