What is Spiritual Dating?

What if finding love didn't have to be so difficult? What if there was a spiritual approach that could transform your dating experience and lead you to the relationship you were truly meant to have?

The Spiritual Dating Podcast introduces a revolutionary approach to finding love that combines spiritual awareness, psychological understanding, and practical dating strategies. As your host, Joe Amoia, I share how I transitioned from my own dating struggles to relationship success through what I call the three pillars of spiritual dating. The first pillar acknowledges our fundamental nature as spiritual beings connected to a divine source (whether you call it God, the universe, or a higher power). The second addresses the psychological aspects of dating - understanding both human behavior and our own unconscious patterns that drive 96-98% of everything we think, say, and do. The third pillar provides strategic guidance that offers a "smart way" rather than a "hard way" to find lasting love.

This podcast speaks directly to spiritual women who know they have much to offer in a relationship but find themselves still searching after trying various approaches on their own. If you believe in a higher power, desire a committed relationship with the right partner (not just anyone), and you're ready to try a different approach after exhausting your own efforts, you've found your spiritual home. Through personal stories, practical guidance, and spiritual wisdom, I'll help you identify what's been holding you back and show you how to create the love you were divinely designed to experience.

The truth is simple yet profound: God doesn't want you to struggle in your search for love. By opening your mind and heart while letting go of past disappointments, you can align with the divine plan for your love life and create more love not just for yourself but for our world that so desperately needs it.

Joe Amoia:

Hello, beautiful souls, welcome to the Spiritual Dating Podcast. I am so excited to be spending this time with you today. This is something that has been on my heart for a while now, and the universe is aligning and there's no time like the present to record our first episode. So I just want to let you know I'm honored to be sharing what I'll be sharing with you over these next few episodes and hopefully beyond, and I am humbled. I am humbled that I get to do this, that I get to share this with you, and you're going to be learning a lot about myself, my journey, how I went from dating mess to relationship success and how I incorporate a lot of the things I'll be sharing in these podcasts with you. But before I do anything, let me tell you who I am.

Joe Amoia:

My name is Joe Amoia and I'm a spiritual dating and relationship coach and I help women basically women learn what it takes to find the man and the relationship that God created them to have. Now I know you're probably saying who made you, who gave you this honor? Where did this come from? And I totally get that. And actually in the second episode, I'll be sharing more about my journey. I'll be going in depth how I became to do this work, how I got here. So hold on, you'll be able to listen to that. But today I want to share what spiritual dating is and how this came about, because this wasn't something I didn't go to school to become a spiritual dating and relationship coach. Just not how it worked. It's how it unfolded in this crazy thing called life.

Joe Amoia:

But I want to talk about spiritual dating because spiritual dating is a unique approach to dating and turning the love you desire into your reality. Now, I know that's a lot to swallow, but you're going to hear stories, you're going to hear experiences that back this up. So one of the things you're going to learn from me is I'm just someone on a journey, just like you. I believe we're all spiritual beings having a human existence going through this thing called life, and I'm going to share the things that I've learned, the things that I've experienced that have gotten me to this point, and hopefully I'll be able to share them with you to help speed up your journey, to make the path to turning the love you desire into your reality so much easier, so much quicker and believe it or not more enjoyable. Now I know you're listening to this and go more enjoyable. Do you know what it's been like? I absolutely do, 100%, but I also know it doesn't have to be as difficult as it appears. So, spiritual dating, I said it's a unique approach to dating in today's modern world. What makes it unique? Well, there are three pillars to spiritual dating. I said it's a unique approach to dating in today's modern world. What makes it unique? Well, there are three pillars to spiritual dating. The first is the spiritual pillar.

Joe Amoia:

Now, there's a lot of confusion out there and there's a lot of terms, and in this podcast we're going to get clear on them because it's really important. So when I talk spiritual, I talk mainly two things. There's the metaphysical right. There's a bigger universe out there and if you study quantum physics, everything at its basic core is energy, and every energy has a different frequency, a different vibration. So we're going to talk about the metaphysical approach, but we're also going to talk about the spiritual approach.

Joe Amoia:

And when I talk about spiritual, again, I talk about being spiritual beings, having a human existence, and what I mean by that is our souls. Our souls are the part of us that are connected to something bigger. Now I call it the divine source. Now you can call that divine source. I call it the divine source. Now you can call that divine source God, universe, higher intelligence, higher wisdom, higher power, or any other name. I'm not here to tell you what to call it, that's for you to figure out. I refer to it by multiple names because, to me, it's the divine source, the divine power, which is the creator of everything, the source of everything. So you will hear me refer to that divine power in multiple ways throughout these podcasts. You'll hear me call it God, universe, divine power, higher power. To me it's all the same Because, again, as I said, at its core is the divine intelligence that everything originates from and everything isn't animated from.

Joe Amoia:

Okay, so we need to understand what that? So the spiritual pillar is just that. That is the foundation. I want you to think of these three pillars like a triangle, and each one is a side of the triangle. Each one is just as important as the other, right? It's kind of like food, water and air. You need all three of those because without any of those things, you will die. But if you look at those things, air is more important than food. Okay, you can last weeks. Sometimes people go on hunger fast and they last months before they die of malnutrition. But if you take air away, you're not going to last more than a couple of minutes. Okay, so they're all equally important, but some are more important than others, and that's why the spiritual pillar is like air it's the most important, but those other sides are just as important.

Joe Amoia:

Okay, so the second pillar, that's the psychological pillar and what I mean by that. There are two parts to that. There's the understanding human behavior. One of the reasons dating and finding love is so difficult for most people, especially at this stage in life, is because they don't understand human behavior. I'm sure you're listening to this. And, again, if you're a woman, like the things that some guys do just blows your mind right. If you meet a guy and you're interested, and he appears to be interested in you, and he's telling you that you're wonderful, you're amazing, that you're the type of woman he's been looking for, and then he disappears, you're like WTF, like what happened? I don't understand it, what made him say those things? What made him do those things? And I 100% get it and that's one of the things we'll be addressing in here as well is because everything a human being does, we do for reasons. Human being does. We do for reasons, and if you don't understand what those reasons are and you don't know how to decipher the behaviors, the words, the actions of a man, it can make this whole process so much more frustrating than it needs to be. So we're going to understand human behavior.

Joe Amoia:

Okay. It's also being able to manage your thoughts, your actions and your feelings. All of those things are based in your psychology. The way you think, the way you feel and the way you act, the things you do, the actions you take or don't take are based on your psychology. Now here's the thing 96% to 98% of everything you think, say or do originates from an unconscious level. It means you don't even realize you're doing it. And sometimes you realize you're doing it but you can't stop yourself.

Joe Amoia:

Guy you're interested in and you knew he wasn't treating you well, you knew he wasn't respectful, you even knew he maybe could have been lying and you're like that's it, I'm done Right, and in your mind you checked out. But then what happens? You start thinking about him, you start missing him. He calls you up, he tells you he's sorry, he makes some other excuse and you run back. Right, it's not your fault. You're on autopilot. There's a part of your brain that does what it's wired to do, and so that's the psychological pillar. So we're going to be addressing these things as we go forward as well.

Joe Amoia:

And the last pillar, that's the strategy pillar. That's where, or what, I've learned let me backstep here what I've learned. There are two ways of doing things in life the smart way and the hard way. Now, because most of us don't get instruction manuals in life and we have parents who are pretty smart, if we're lucky, and have taught us some things but didn't have all the skills and tools because they were on their journey. We don't get everything we need to create success in all areas of our life, and that's just the way it is. So that's what I call.

Joe Amoia:

The hard way is we have to go and we try and figure it out on our own and we throw a bunch of things on the wall, hoping something will stick. We make some mistakes and hopefully we learn from them, or we make them again and we don't understand why we're making the mistakes, and then we seek outside help to see what's wrong with us, instead of getting to the true understanding of why we do what we do. Again, that goes back to the psychology pillar. So what I've learned? Again, there's the hard way, which is trying to do it on your own, and then there's the smart way, and the smart way is finding someone who's already successful in that area of your life and here we're talking about the context of dating and relationships right, finding someone who's already successful, who understands what it takes to succeed, who's already made the mistakes, who knows what the pitfalls are, who knows where the wrong choices and decisions can take you further away from your goal, but who also understands what the right choices and decisions are and the right behaviors that will take you closer to the result that you desire in your life. So the strategy pillar is going through one of those two approaches.

Joe Amoia:

Okay, and that's what this podcast is for. This is the smarter way, right? I'm going to share with you things, processes, wisdom, experiences, everything that I've got that will help you create the result that you desire in your love life if that's your goal, right in your love life, if that's your goal right Now. Part of that of the strategy pillar is having the tips, the strategies and the processes that will make it easier to turn the love you desire into your reality, right? So this is the way I look at it.

Joe Amoia:

Think of it like you wanted to get in the best shape possible right, that's the results. But you really don't know much about getting in shape, and everybody's got a different opinion. Everybody says, well, try this diet, try this exercise, try this nutrition program, try this strength training process, try this cardiovascular system right, and everybody's got opinions on what you should do. But you have no idea. And so you know you want to get in shape. So you walk into a gym because you know that's where people go to get in shape, but you have no idea how to use the equipment, how to lift properly, how to hydrate yourself and how to stretch and do all those things, and so you just try a bunch of things, hoping that'll work out, because, hey, that's what people do, they go to the gym. But then, once you walk out of the gym, there's also things that you still need to do. Once you're outside, right, you need to have the proper nutrition, the proper hydration, the proper rest, the proper mental like. All these things go to you being your healthiest and most fit. And so that's kind of how it works in turning the love you desire into your reality.

Joe Amoia:

There's not one thing, and that's why most people struggle, because everybody struggles in different areas. Some people it might be their strategies. They're doing everything great. They just don't have a strategy and they're just like trying to get in shape. They're just trying a bunch of things, just crossing their fingers, hoping something will stick. You know, for other individuals, it's that there's a psychological block, there's some resistance. It could be a fear of getting hurt, it could be not trusting guys, it could be things that go deeper way, back to childhood not feeling loved, not feeling enough, not feeling worthy Again. Whatever it may be, all these things are simply obstacles that just need to be overcome and don't have to be as difficult as it appears to be to overcome these obstacles when you identify them and again, that's something we're going to be doing in this podcast All right, so it's just really understanding that it does not does not have to be as difficult as it appears to be, and that's what we're going to be addressing in these podcasts.

Joe Amoia:

So there's basically I want to tell you who this is for, because it's really not for everyone and you're going to hear this in the second episode of how I received a divine download, which put me on this path, to help you and others find the love that you were created to have. So, first thing is, you need to have somewhat of a spiritual basis, right? So you need to believe in a higher power. Now, again, you want to call it God, universe intelligence it doesn't matter to me, it doesn't matter, it's just a name that you were putting on that divine source. Okay, but you need to believe in that divine source because if you don't believe in the divine source and you just believe that we are just these meat suits who just come into this universe and it's like atlantic city we're dealt a deck of cards and either we get a good hand or we get a crap hand and based on the hand you're dealt, that's your lot in life. Like, if that's truly what you believe, you're not going to get a lot out of this podcast and I and I want to be honest I don't want to waste your time, right.

Joe Amoia:

The second thing is you want to have a committed relationship with the right man. If you're at that place in your life where you just want someone in your life and you don't feel you're worthy of a man to love you, to honor you to respect you and you're not the partner you need to be for that man to commit the rest of his life to, then again, you're not going to get a lot out of this podcast. I'm gonna tell you, as a man, for a man to commit the rest of his life to one woman, and one woman only, that man needs to feel that, even though that there's other women out there, there's no woman who's better for him to share his life with. You're gonna hear a lot in these podcasts about my relation with my wife Natalie. I actually bring her on to share some episodes with us. I know that there's other women in the world, but there's no other woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with than my wife Natalie, because she is the perfect woman for me. That doesn't mean that she's perfect, neither am I. I believe as spiritual beings we are perfectly imperfect, and that's part of the journey is just to become more aligned to who God created us to be, so we can continue to grow and evolve into the beings of light that we really are. Okay, so I'm going to be sharing that.

Joe Amoia:

So, again, if you want to be in a committed relationship with the right partner. If you just want someone or anyone, or you believe that you're truly happier being single than in a happy, committed relationship, I honor that, I respect that. But again, this is the podcast for you. This is for you. If you know you have a lot to offer, you're a great catch. You have a good life, but you want a better life because you want someone to share it with and do all those amazing, magical, blessed things that we get to do as couples Right?

Joe Amoia:

And the third is that you're at that point where you realize that you've tried a lot, you've done a lot on your own. You may have read books, you may have even been for counseling, watch videos, maybe seminars, retreats, whatever it may be invested in programs. And yet here you are. You're still single and you're still searching, and you know there's something going on, but you can't quite put your finger on it. Well, if that's you, you are definitely in the right place, because we're going to start identifying what those things are and how you can identify them, even if you feel clueless right now, because what I believe and what you'll learn and this is part of the spiritual pillar is God doesn't want you to struggle, god doesn't want you to waste time and energy trying to figure it out on your own.

Joe Amoia:

God doesn't want you to waste time and energy trying to figure it out on your own. God doesn't want you to have, to date, 68 guys to find the right one. God wants you to make it easy. God wants you to find love. God wants you to be happy.

Joe Amoia:

But here's the deal. Okay, you're going to learn I'm a straight shooter. God gives you free will. God will never force his will on you, but because you have free will, you are responsible for the choices and decisions that you make, including the choices and decisions that you don't make. So there's such power in that, there's such freedom in that. That's not to blame yourself or not to beat yourself up. We're going to be talking a lot about the role of the ego when we get into the psychology of human behavior, including your own, and how that part of you is designed to beat yourself up, to make yourself feel small, to make yourself feel enough to actually keep you disconnected from God and the divine source, because that's its role. That's what it does, and so we're going to shine the light on that to make this whole thing so much easier for you.

Joe Amoia:

But there's two things you have to do. Okay Is you have to open your mind and your heart and you have to be willing to let go of your past. If you're willing to let go of your past and you're willing to open up your heart and your mind, you're going to get so much value from this podcast, I promise you. But again, I don't want you to believe me. I want you to listen, I want you to show up week by week and start implementing the things that I'll be sharing. And if you're stuck, if we share something on a podcast and you're stuck or you need further clarification, reach out. We're gonna have plenty of opportunities for you to reach out and get support, because God doesn't want you to struggle. Again, I can't say this enough. All right, so that's what we have ahead. So, after listening to this, if you like this and it resonates with you, I want you to subscribe, and I also want you to leave a comment.

Joe Amoia:

A lot of these podcasts work on algorithms and the more people engage with them, comment on them, like and subscribe, the more the platform hosts will share it and spread it and put it out there. So if you can do that, I'd be greatly appreciated. I would greatly appreciate it. To me, we're spreading the love. We're creating more love. If you haven't noticed, look at the world that we're living in right now. We're lacking love. We need more love in this world, and when we have more love in this world, life is just better in every way. And if you can have that love at home and have someone to share it with, whereas they say in the Bible, you're equally yoked, you're committed to each other, you have a shared purpose for your lives and your relationship, purpose for your lives and your relationship, to me there is nothing better. Okay, so that's it for this week. Again, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out. Okay, all the information will be in the show notes. I'll see you in the next episode. Much love.
