Singleness in the Church | Episode 31

Micah kicks off this episode by asking Shireen a big question: "what would her life look like today if they'd never met?" This then leads them to discuss singleness and how the church has made marriage the finish line and seen singleness as something to "fix". They offer a different perspective based on Paul's statements that elevate singleness to the same level as marriage. They share from their experiences, practical ways to bridge the relational gaps we find in our lives that will actually produce a more fulfilling life.
After this episode, consider the following:
How can your relational status can be a gift to the world? If you're married, how can your marriage be a gift to those around you? If you're a parent, how can your parenting be a gift to the world? If you're single, how can your singleness be a gift to the world?

I can 100% confirm, loneliness is not addressed in the church. Apart from the single talk, I think there’s an overall lack of knowledge on how to build healthy relationships in a non romantic way, particularly for millennials and gen z. I’ve been single longer than I expected but my loneliness comes more from a lack of genuine community rather than a romantic partner.
