Founder and CEO

• Mar 2018 - Present

Heart of Dating was started by Kait Warman, an author, speaker, online educator, relationship coach and founder of the Heart of Dating Podcast located in Los Angeles, California. Kait has developed a particular passion for the topic of dating in the Christian world. The HOD podcast has now grown to 500K unique listeners and 200K social followers across IG, TikTok, and FB. Our mission at Heart of Dating is to unmask the ever so ambiguous world of dating in the Christian world. While there are resources spread out across the years, there are not many centralized areas where Christians can access dating advice, help, and guidance easily and in a fashion that is accessible. The ultimate hope is that the Heart of Dating will collectively start a healthy conversation for men and women as they provide wise input and direction surrounding tough questions while uncovering transformative ways to develop a healthy attitude and approach to dating as a Christian.
