Why do some Christian parents get way too involved in their kids' dating lives?

Helicopter parenting meets purity culture 😬

In this clip from Episode 146 - We Survived Christian Dating - Barely, Nate and Pastor Joseph call out a familiar struggle in the church world—parents who overmanage their kids’ love lives in the name of faith. They explore why some Christian households treat dating like a family-wide ministry project and how it affects both spiritual growth and independence.

If you’ve ever had to “date the whole family” or felt like your mom had a Holy Spirit hotline for your relationship status, this one’s for you.

Hosted by Nate and Pastor Joseph, When I Heard This is where smart faith conversations meet sarcasm, honesty, and just enough church baggage to keep things interesting.
