Editor’s note: Davis and Jessica met on DT Heart & Soul<\/a> and were married in February 2023. Davis is from the Milestone Church of Christ (Toronto, Canada) and Jessica is from the Columbia Church of Christ (South Carolina, USA). They share their story here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

We are so thrilled to be sharing our experience and relationship roadmap with you all. None of this would be possible without God working through the DT Heart & Soul app and the people in our lives! Our story has a few twists, turns, and hiccups, but in the end, we are just thankful for all the support that we\u2019ve gotten along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica and Davis had both previously dated a few other people in the church. Davis had his heart broken a few times and so did Jessica, but in the end, they followed God\u2019s call and ended up meeting each other on the DT Heart & Soul app in July of 2019. They saw an advertisement in \u201cDisciple Memes\u201d (a Facebook group) and thought \u201cWhy not?\u201d For the first few weeks on the app, they were talking to a few different people. They were all amazing, but it wasn\u2019t until they started talking to each other that things really started to click. About two weeks into their conversations on DT Heart & Soul, they exchanged phone numbers and social media accounts and soon after, in early August 2019, they started FaceTiming every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their first FaceTime date was a cooking date where they sent family recipes to each other. This showed off Davis\u2019s cooking skills, which for sure impressed Jessica (even though she wouldn\u2019t admit it). In October 2019, with all signs pointing positively, Davis booked his flight to Columbia, SC to visit Jessica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They met for the first time in person when Jessica picked Davis up from the airport in February 2020. This wasn\u2019t the most conventional way of meeting your spouse-to-be, but that didn\u2019t phase them one bit. It felt like they had been friends forever and the conversations flowed smoothly and naturally from phone screens to real life, which was a very big green flag! The first few days of Davis\u2019s visit consisted of hikes, road trips, dinners and meeting Jessica\u2019s friends and family. Again, in Davis\u2019s mind, all signs were a \u201cgo.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On the day of Super Bowl LIV (Patrick Mahomes\u2019 first, go Chiefs!), Jessica planned a chill day of walking along the beach, meeting up with her parents, and then watching the game. After walking along the beach and sitting on the ledge of a bridge to take in the sunset, Davis thought it was the perfect moment to ask Jessica to be his girlfriend. However, Jessica was a little hesitant because they hadn’t really talked about their relationship. This took Davis by surprise, which dejected him greatly, but he knew that it was not the time to be sad, but rather to just listen and be a great friend and brother in Christ to Jessica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, after talking a bit longer, it seemed Jessica actually did have feelings for Davis, so she decided to say yes and officially date Davis! It was a sigh of relief for both parties and by the time they got to the Super Bowl party, they were officially a couple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They started dating on February 4, 2020. If that time sounds familiar, it was the beginning of the pandemic. The pandemic was\u2026difficult to say the least. Between canceled plans and flights, to being apart for almost six months, it was a time unlike any other. It was a time where they needed to lean on God, their trust for each other and their family\/friends the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The border situation was quite difficult as well. Canada\u2019s borders were closed off to anyone except returning Canadian citizens, but the US\u2019s was not. That meant that Davis was allowed to visit Jessica, but not vice versa. This eased up as the pandemic went on, so Jessica was able to see Davis and his friends\/family in July 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As time went on and as they got to know each other more deeply, they realized that even though they were physically apart, they needed each other in their lives. The scriptures they leaned on during that time were Proverbs 3:5, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Jeremiah 17:7 and James 1:3. So, on June 25, 2022, Davis proposed to Jessica in an Italian restaurant in Toronto, and soon after celebrated with friends and family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so happy that DT Heart & Soul helped us get to where we are today! We look forward to many more stories like ours soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
