Christian Ray Flores

So now, you know, now obviously I've been a Christian for almost 30 years, right? And I've preached the gospel all over the world in four different languages. I've started churches. I've been a bivocational pastor all over the place, right? And so it is really the most important part of my life. But I do think that, you know, even when I coached

In my coaching program, when I coach people, if you're not a Christian, I can coach you, as long as you don't mind me quoting the Bible, because these are eternal truths. I will be doing you a disservice if I don't quote you at least a scripture where I say, look, this has been true 2,000 years ago. It's still true about you right now. You need to pay attention.

And I'm not going to push you to become a Christian at all. If you want to know how, obviously, I will share my faith with you. But it is that important. I do think that the Bible contains the secrets to life and success and health and wealth and joy and love and all of it. Yeah.

Does that make sense? Does that land for you? It does. And you brought up something very interesting, the Tinder generation, right? Tinder generation is basically the concept is you... Experiment until you get it right, right? The problem with that is that the wear and tear of failed experiments really, really wrecks you, you know?

You're just one atom floating in the universe, and then you find another atom and see if there's a little match, right? And Tinder itself, actually, all those, the apps are actually not, they claim to be very scientific. I would say they claim to be data-driven, right? So you're looking for a mate and you like walking on the beach. She likes walking on the beach. You like reading books.

So you're looking for a mate and you like walking on the beach. She likes walking on the beach. You like reading books.

She likes reading books. Oh, we're a match. Well, that's not how marriage works at all. You actually... Like if you really want to be scientific, you want somebody who compliments you and you compliment them. It's very, very hard to do that through just filling out an application than putting it out there. And you won't be objective in the first place.

So the mismatches are actually probably increased by the claim of the sort of we belong together because we're the same. We actually belong together because we're different. And then the other layer of that is experimentation is everything, right? You tinder your way through life. Well, look at the outcome, let's say, whatever, seven years or ten years later.

People are literally more lonely and getting married later, not really understanding what that means in the first place. Okay. I did that, right? I did the whole experiment until you went into it. Then I realized, you know what? I'm so destroyed internally, you know, like the damage is so vast that can you please give me another model, right?

Then I realized, you know what? I'm so destroyed internally, you know, like the damage is so vast that can you please give me another model, right?

And the model was, you know, which was so like, it was, bro, it was impossible for me to even wrap my mind around, but I was so desperate, right? So I was like, okay, so how do I do this? Like, my main pain point is how to find a mate, get married, and stay married, right? That's basically the thing. And be happy. And they're like, well, you know, first of all, what's your system of values?

If you're a Christian, you need to, who do you marry? A Christian. Yeah, that narrows it down quite a bit. Really? Yeah, really. Okay, that's an algorithm you can add, right? Okay, that narrows your focus. Why? Well, because you have the same values and you're both submitted to the same authority. That helps. People fight. People change.
