Unfiltered: Men on Love, Faith & Dating Part 2: with Kevin Livermore

We're back with Part 2 of Unfiltered: Men on Love, Faith & Dating, and my guest today is someone you might remember—Kevin Livermore. In his last appearance, we talked about living as your true self. Today, we're taking that conversation a step further by diving into what it means to show up authentically in the world of modern dating.

Kevin shares candid insights on how men actually think when swiping, the biggest challenge facing singles over 35, and why so many of us are tempted to present a filtered version of ourselves. We also talk about the paradox of choice, red flags (and green ones), and the subtle art of lingering after church.

This conversation is full of honesty, grace, and some seriously good advice—whether you're navigating dating apps or just wondering where all the good men are. Spoiler: Kevin might not have all the answers, but he's got some wisdom that will help you walk away encouraged and a little more grounded.

Topics We Cover:

False self vs. true self on dating apps
Navigating values, integrity, and loneliness
How men actually read profiles
When it's time to stop matching and start committing
The importance of character over curated photos
Where single men of faith might actually be hiding
Red flags that might be repelling the right people
