Hey girl! Welcome to the very first-ever “Ask Kaase” corner in our magazine! I’m so pumped you’re here!

If you already listen to my podcast, FR, Let’s Talk, you know this is the spot where teen girls just like you get to ask ANYTHING—seriously, anything. No topic is too wild, no question too “embarrassing.” And now, this magazine is your VIP pass to do the same thing!

Before we dive into question one, I have to say—one of THE most common questions I get asked on the podcast is, “Will I go to hell if…?” Usually, it’s followed by a long list of worries like, “if I cuss…” or “if I tell ”white lies”…” or even “if I doubt that God exists…” Well, today we’re tackling one of those biggie questions that recently came in. So let’s break it down, girl-to-girl.

Dear Kaase…

Q1: “Will I go to hell because I like girls in a romantic way?” —Sophie, Dallas, TX

Girl, first things first—let me be super clear: I’m not the person who gets to decide where anyone spends eternity. That’s God’s job, not mine.

Here’s the thing about feelings: they can feel really real, but the Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). Feelings aren’t your temperature gauge—they can trick you. So while your heart might feel a certain way, we have to measure those feelings against God’s truth.

God’s Word is clear about His intended best for love. Genesis 2:24 says, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” And in Matthew 19:4-6, Jesus reaffirms that design—love works best within the way He created it. That doesn’t mean God meets us with judgment or condemnation. Far from it—He meets us with empathy, patience, and understanding, because He knows our hearts better than we do.

So here’s the takeaway: your feelings don’t determine your eternity. God’s love, His truth, and your relationship with Him do. Trust Him, lean into His Word, and let His guidance shape your heart—because His design is always for your good.

Dear Kaase…

Q2: “I really like this guy, but I don’t know if he likes God like I do. Should I even think about dating him?”—Emma, Atlanta, GA

Ooo girl, I hear you! First, your heart is precious, and God wants you to guard it carefully. 2 Corinthians 6:14 says, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?” That means dating someone who doesn’t share your faith can pull your heart in confusing directions! Am I right?

But don’t stress—it’s not about being mean or judgmental, it’s about protecting your spiritual life. God wants your first love to always be Him (Matthew 22:37). If you start dating someone, let it grow slowly, keep prayer at the center, and make sure your values line up. And remember, waiting and trusting God is never wasted—it builds character, patience, and clarity.

Lastly, look for someone who encourages your faith, prays with you, and inspires you to grow closer to God. That’s how a healthy, God-centered crush or relationship should feel.

Dear Kaase…

Q3: “Everything feels so weird—my body, my moods, my thoughts… How does God feel about me right now?”

—Lila, San Diego, CA

Yep, girl—God sees all of it. Every awkward mood, every “what even is happening to me?” moment—He’s right there, loving and shaping you. Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Every growth spurt, every mood swing, every new feeling? All part of His design!

Puberty is messy. Bodies change, hormones hit like a tidal wave, and emotions swing from zero to a hundred. But God isn’t just okay with your messiness—He expects it. James 1:2-4 reminds us that trials and challenges shape our faith and build perseverance. Your confusing feelings? Part of the work God is doing in you!

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to give you a hope and a future.” Even when life feels like a rollercoaster, He’s guiding you, loving you, and shaping you through it. Talk to Him honestly, lean on His love, and remember: you’re exactly who He made you to be—mess, moods, and all!
