Dating

[@OPrimoConcursado]

Hi, Atticus. I gotta tell you I've had so many laughters in the past few years with your character Brick. You are great. But you never made me so happy as I am now that I know you are my brother in Christ. I hope you keep growing in the Way. I'll be praying for you, brother. We'll meet in heaven :)

[@AtticusShafferVlog]

That means the world to me good sir and I truly appreciate the prayers. Thank you very much. God bless you brother in Christ!

[@amymeier1239]

Oh Atticus! What a wonderful man you are, and I am happy you keep God first in your life. You will be a great husband one day, and a special someone will be so lucky to be your wife! You explained so well, that things will happen in God’s time. You are so inspiring, and I am glad I found your channel!

[@milay543]

I completely agree. It's so refreshing to see celebrities professing faith and acting on their convictions. I love you, Atticus! Keep doing what you're doing.

[@RachelReviewsEverything]

I absolutely loved this, Atticus. We're close in age and hearing someone else talk about this, who thinks the same way I do, was just so incredibly refreshing! Thanks so much for sharing this message! Having the desire to get married is wonderful, but it's important for us to spend the time we have on our own to strengthen our relationships with God and even ourselves. You're an absolutely wonderful person, I wish I had a friend like you! 😊

[@mckenziesaroukos5618]

THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE. This is exactly how I feel. I'm a 19 year old Christian woman and I wish there were more people who felt the same way as I do. I am saving myself for my future husband. I have never been in a relationship where a guy truly feels the same way about sex after marriage. I believe there is one woman for you, Atticus. I believe there is one man for me too. God wants us to find people at HIS time. Not OUR time. God has me on his path. God made our bodies to be temples and to be treasured. Atticus, I pray you read this and know that you are NOT alone here. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, it has really helped me feel less alone in this crazy world.

[@AtticusShafferVlog]

Thank you very much for this comment! I am so happy to read this, and I know anyone else who reads this comment, who feels the way we do, will be blessed by it as well! Thank you and God bless you! I'll be praying for your future husband!

Hollywood is a cesspool of deviant people. It's so awesome, to see someone your age, who "Gets it". Back when I was younger, which was a day or two ago, I remember dating in high school, and it was really challenging back in the 80s. Jump forward to nowadays, and it must be a total nightmare!

Wow! I can’t say this enough, you are absolutely amazing! We have a lot of the same views on topics like this, and a lot of people of our generation don’t really understand. So it’s nice to know that someone can relate to my way of thinking. I really would love to have a chance to get to know you as a friend and brother in Christ, but I understand if that's not exactly possible for you. Either way, never forget what a blessing you are to me and many others. And contenue to be that for as long as you live.

[@HeCoversMe]

Way to go Atticus....if only society could follow your lead. My wife and I are older believers and got hooked on the middle “Woop”. Anyway your character has us laughing out loud quite a bit. Thanks for lighting our lives with your acting and thanks for being a light to the younger generation.

[@dylantd9189]

I'm not a Christian or religious but I love that the definition you set out for. I'm waiting for marriage myself, so I love the idea of dating people to find your soulmate

[@debcatman9464]

So wonderful to hear! As a Christian myself, I’ve always told my daughter, that dating IS for the purpose of finding a mate. It’s not supposed to be just a casual, fun thing. She’s in her late 30’s now, married to the love of her life and their two beautiful children. Stay strong in your faith and pray for the right mate. You’re right, it’s in HIS timeline. And thank you for honoring God.

Bless you, Atticus. Had to come watch this since you shared the link today. This is such a heartening thing to hear in these times of loose morals and careless attitudes. I am 46 and I can freely admit I had to learn the hard way about seeking a Godly spouse. I went through a lot of heartache and failed relationships to get to my wonderful Christian husband of over 12 years. I am grateful for what the Lord brought me through and taught me in that time but no lie, it was hard. I use it to counsel young people that God's way is so much better. Praying for the right woman at the right time for you. I know you will make a great husband for her. Keep enjoying this season of preparation He has you in.

[@AtticusShafferVlog]

My dear friend, I am so proud of you, as your brother in Christ, that you have chosen to use previous hardships for His glory and to teach young people the beauty of God's way. Your comment blesses me, and I'm so very grateful for you and your prayers. Thank you, friend. 🙏

[@2ofeachmom426]

Atticus, I love your testimony for Christ and your Biblical world view! You are a great example to others. It’s so encouraging to hear about your convictions and dedication to the gospel of Jesus! Blessings to you! I’ve been watching all the seasons of the middle on prime. I’m sad that I’m almost thru them

[@nikkiyounglove2930]

After watching Atticus latest video I had to come and watch this one. Being in the same generation it’s gratifying to know that I’m not the only one who has the same beliefs! I also think it’s very inspiring to see that he has kept his faith in a world that seems like it’s slowing loosing so much of it! He hasn’t let anyone change him. ❤️

[@jeffhurley756]

Hi, Atticus. The same was true for me. I was a virgin when I married my wife for the same reasons that you are saving yourself for your wife. In addition, I prayed for my wife before God brought us together. She was the only person I "dated". That doesn't mean I didn't get to know other women but at arm's length. It wasn't until I met my wife that I formally asked her on a date. Great advice my brother.

[@TheGenXInfluencer]

Hey Atticus! I’ve been binge watch The Middle and thought I’d look up some information on the cast. It was a great pleasure to read about you and your devotion to Christ (and also that you are from Santa Clarita, which is where I grew up). It fills my heart to see that there are more brothers and sisters in Christ in the entertainment industry. Part of the reason I left the industry was because of the lack of other believers, or at least proclaiming believers. After watching your channel and interviews you’ve done over the years, I believe I have made a mistake. We are to go out in the world and preach the Gospel, whether by word or in deed. Not if we feel comfortable around it or not. God has now shown me that my mission field is back in the entertainment industry. I praise God for your wisdom and platform to use it in. I will be praying for the Lord to bless you with more wisdom, strength and blessings. God bless you Atticus!

[@AtticusShafferVlog]

God bless you brother in Christ. I am blessed in such a great way by your message. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have encouraged me greatly. What work did you/ do you want to do in the industry if I may ask? I wish you nothing but success in honoring Him in the path He sets you on!!

[@agood6874]

Atticus! Thank you for making this video. I appreciate so much to have a brother in Christ in my age range who has the same mindset towards the LORD and his ways. Dating in terms of the world is just a huge mess. It means a lot when our age group says so, and speaks what God intended. What a beautiful heart. It is such a precious thing to see Jesus radiating within others. May you and your family be blessed in Christ my brother.

[@AtticusShafferVlog]

I just wanted to say thank you for the message you are sending out, especially for your young peers! When I was very young I was obsessed with the idea that I would never find someone, it dominated my life for more years than I like to admit! So what you are saying is so true, and I wish I had known it when I was younger!! I have a wonderful spouse now, who has shown me more love than I have ever known before! (Of course Jehovah God was the one who was really loving me and showing me true love! But it took me a while to listen!!) You're doing such a good job witnessing and spreading the Word! Much love!

I share the same beliefs. I believe in finding the one someday. We shouldn’t hurry love, it takes time, and one day we might find our partner. It’s seems like a pressure in today’s society to find a partner. But what if I’m not exactly looking, but enjoying my life, getting to know myself, and when someone gets my heart I will find out then. And our bodies are very holy. The most important thing is to know where we, ourselves are in life, and that we have friends, family to spend time with. Love will come our way, one day, eventually. God bless life for giving us emotions, and language to express ourselves with. And we are never truly alone, God loves us.
