Have you ever thought a man was serious—only to be left confused or heartbroken? In this episode of Love Journey, we’re talking about how to discern when a man is truly serious about marriage versus when he’s just dating casually. Elana shares powerful insight on what spiritual discernment looks like, how to evaluate a man’s fruit, and why words without action are not enough. If you’ve ever second-guessed your judgment in dating, this episode will give you clarity, wisdom, and peace.

You’ll learn:

• The #1 reason why discernment is essential for Christian women dating for marriage
• What Jeremiah 17:9–10 teaches us about trusting our hearts
• How to test if his fruit matches his intentions
• The danger of surface-level spirituality in dating
• How to invite God into the process of discernment

Ask God to reveal what only He can see.

Stay in prayer and ask Him to expose anything hidden and confirm what’s true.

While you observe the man in front of you, keep seeking the God above you.

Let your discernment come from the One who searches hearts and sees what you cannot.
