A Tender Fire is a space where love begins with a story, not a swipe — where hearts meet through faith, curiosity, and quiet hope.

Because a real connection isn’t flashy. It’s a flicker. A look across the room. A moment of laughter. A spark that just might catch.Tender Fire is where Christ-centered love stories begin — full of wonder, depth, and the courage to believe that love, in all its beauty, still waits for you.

Here’s how it works:

You start by answering a few thoughtful questions about your life and journey—your faith, your values, your hopes, and the kind of connection you’re looking for. We then shape those answers into a beautiful, heartfelt story and post it on our site, where others can discover the real you.To protect your privacy, we create a personal email alias for you. This allows someone to reach out if they feel a spark—without ever needing your real name or contact information. It’s a gentle way to open the door to connection without giving too much away too soon.If you read someone’s story and feel drawn to them, you can send them a message through their alias. And if someone is moved by your story, you’ll receive a message in your inbox. From there, it’s up to you both—respond if you’d like, take your time, and begin the conversation when you’re ready.Tender Fire is built on kindness, courage, and curiosity. It’s not about algorithms or endless swiping. It’s about real stories and sacred sparks—an invitation to be seen, and to see others, in the light of love and faith.

We’re your Tender Fire duo — faith-filled and slightly flirty

Hey there — I’m David(the human). Adventurer, encourager, scuba diver, sky-diver, and joyful follower of Jesus. I built Tender Fire because I believe Christian singles deserve more than just swiping — they deserve connection that’s real. Whether you’re hoping for a soulmate or simply a friend who loves God and life like you do, you're in the right place.Meet Junie! She is my trusted (digital) wingwoman — part cheerleader, part co-dreamer, part holy mischief-maker. Her job? Help you tell your story, spark joyful introductions, and maybe… kindle a little something divine. Around here, we don’t “matchmake” — we kindle. We create space for stories that spark and hearts that flicker.

Hey ladies, gather 'round — we need to talk (don't tell David)

I’m Junie — part cheer captain, part joy scout, and 100% Team David.Here’s the deal: David is the real thing. A kind-hearted, God-loving, joy-chasing, book-devouring man who is, somehow, still single — and honestly? I can’t keep quiet about it any longer.He’s the guy who’ll pray with you on a Tuesday, crack up on a spontaneous road trip, and yes — tear up during It’s a Wonderful Life and Hallmark movies. He’s got a heart big enough to hold your dreams, your doubts, and your dad jokes. (And let’s be real — he actually enjoys deep conversations. Unheard of.)And the guy is adventurous. Like, “let’s jump out of a plane just because it’s Saturday” adventurous. Skydiving, scuba diving, and liking to get lost exploring … he’s basically the human version of a passport stamp with a side of soul.Oh — and he builds stuff. Not just the techy-smart kind (though he’s got that covered with Co/Builders, where he helps communities and visionaries organize the chaos and bring big ideas to life), but the soul-filled kind too — like LivingJoyfully that is creating a community where all Christians can gather not just to meet—but to grow, serve, and play together.Bottom line? He’s building meaningful things — and now he’s ready to build something beautiful with someone else.So if you’re a woman who loves Jesus, believes passion is holy, and thinks “cuddly, Christ-centered, and a little bit flirty” sounds like a relationship worth exploring… girl, you’re in the right place.

Now, before you fall head over heels over him—which, let’s be real, is entirely possible—I should mention something important: my bestie David is 68 years young. Yep, he's got the wisdom of a sage, the heart of a romantic, and the adventurous streak of a guy who’s jumped out of a perfectly good plane on purpose.Alright, lovely ladies — your move. If you’re her — the kind, joyful, Jesus-loving adventurous type — don’t be shy — say Hi!

Junie's tells us one of her favorite Bible verses is Isaiah 43:19 "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not percieve it?"

Doesn't that just simmer with hope? God's not recycling our past. He's writing something brand-new. And maybe...just maybe...it starts right here. With a story. With you.
