The Energetics of Dating with Rachel Sherrill | Episode 161, Heart of Dating Podcast

Not really sure what’s going on here…idk if I'm understanding this correctly, but the "vibes" and "energies" that Rachel is talking about are figurative language, correct? She's not suggesting that feminine/masculine energy has the same kind of reality as radiowaves, ultrasounds, other vibrations (like molecular vibrations), right? Like I think there is a distinction between measurable scientific waves/vibrations/energy states, and the more social, metaphorical ones. A better term for “feminine energy” might be "feminine social dynamics". Rachel can argue that feminine social dynamics are felt, sure, but felt in the same way that, say, a BIPOC child might inherently feel left out in a PWI. It's not to say that there are "white energies" around them, it's a social dynamic that is keenly felt and still impactful, even if not physically measurable. I just think it's good to make the distinction. Rachel often draws parallels between quantifiable forces, like gravity, or oxygen in the air. I personally (just my personal opinion) think this is misleading at worst and unnecessary at best. Rachel’s fem/masc energy paradigm feels very subjective, and seems only to be defined by her own personal convictions. Perhaps she would be able to give a more cogent argument for the validity of masc/fem energies if given more time in the video, but ultimately, it felt like she was insisting upon the reality of masc/fem energies without any real support; she brings up “science” as a flimsy appeal ethos, and frankly, it would be difficult anyway to make any robust arguments on the definitions of feminine energy bc the terms “masculine” and “feminine” aren’t found in the Bible. I also find it common for certain evangelical circles to default to the Adam-Eve dynamic for their gender-role queries, but I might argue that defaulting to the Jesus(groom)-Church(bride) dynamic is a clearer image of gender roles, particularly bc Adam and Eve fall in Genesis 3 and there’s not much to extrapolate from. In all, I’m really confused and concerned at this video, and honestly a little disappointed and shocked that Kait would bring this kind of content onto her channel, especially when in the episode prior to this, Lisa Bevere spoke on being herself and not becoming like everyone else in her female friend groups (June 1st episode at 24:42). Ik that was in the context of female-female friendships, rather than male-female romantic relationships, but the message still feels inconsistent between the two previous videos. Just some food for thought, just my opinion, you may totally disagree.

This is SO good! After listening to both episodes, I felt divinely called over the last month to make time to listen to TFA Show!

This is awesome , I've been the bad boy, I've been the decent guy, & now as a good man I will say a feminine woman is/are super attractive. One who's spirit/energy (maybe even audible) says I'm available but I don't need you. Ex: "I need you to take care of me financially, but dont get it twisted I have my own, I need you to take care of me emotionally, but my emotional and mental health are in check (I received the counsel I needed) I do like nice things but the most expensive thing you'll ever have is sitting across the table from you (my heart/ ladies your heart is priceless)" Also the "safe" thing 💯💯💯
