Modern Dating is Broken: Hypergamy, Feminism, & How Churches Can Rebuild Christian Community

Modern dating didn’t just “get weird”, it was built this way. In this episode, we sit down with Matt from Effective Purpose to break down the structures and incentives behind the broken dating system, from feminism and cultural propaganda to the way churches sometimes reinforce the status quo. We dig into hypergamy, accountability, and what Christian community is supposed to look like when it actually functions. If you want clear-eyed analysis and practical steps for men and churches to rebuild healthier relationships, this one’s for you.
