    This is what I got after watching the full video.
    While your single take time and heal from your traumas. ( When Mike talked about knowing what makes you frustrated that is key to helping any friendship or relationship work and actually last, which is honestly to learn to respond better and not react )
    Often times most relationships fail due to lack of communication and/or lack of communicating effectively.
    So what Those pastors was trying to instill in us was how Therapy helps us understands ourselves better the good, bad, ugly and the phenomenal. It’s damaging in relationships when you don’t know who you really are, especially the most important part which is that your a child of God, fearfully & wonderfully made.
    As your in a singleness season. Once your pretty good at communicating in those ways & God has given you the okay to move onto pursuing a romantic relationship, then you have to put yourself out there and start dating.
    They never said it was gonna be easy but they did note that the more dates you go on the more you realize and are able to pinpoint exactly what you want in your spouse and hopefully also what you need.
    Single people, I am one of them 🙋🏾‍♀️ to narrow it down.
    1. Become very close to Jesus
    2. Have a mentor/ Go to therapy- ( You need someone in your life who can point your faults and that your receptive to them, because YOU know they’re only there to bring out the best in you but only if you let them).
    3. Wait for Gods permission ( Thank God for giving you desires to be married and desires for sex it’s a wonderful gift don’t be shameful) but gain self control while you wait.
    4. Once you feel and/or know strongly that God is advising you to purse a romantic relationship/ Put Yourself Out there. It’s never easy doing that. Start off maybe with online dating, or asking a friend to help you set up dates with hopefully God fearing individuals.
    5. Enjoy the process, don’t look at it as a task but rather date with joy, hope and knowing that your not waisting your time you are finding who your compatible with and if you can see decades from now that you will still be willing, dedicated, hopeful and committed to making your marriage like Christ and his love for the Church.
    ( Like they said God will not date for you ). Learn people lovingly and with kindness. If their not for you learn from those interactions, narrow those down, pray and continue to believe that God is helping you find your person. ✨
    Honestly also if you desire marriage began watching Godly married couples or better yet put your self around great married couples if you know of some, learn from them, take notes and apply.
    Those who are single and choose to be single, this video unfortunately isn’t maybe what you need to hear because those like myself have come to watch these videos takes notes to hopefully have a successful Godly marriage. The Bible begins and ends with marriage, to me that means God really would rather see us with someone who can help us, sharpen our iron and be great examples of Christs love for his people. Yes Paul did choose to be single but that was his choice he maybe couldn’t handle marriage after coming to know Jesus and spreading the Gospel to the churches. But ideally I believe God desires family, we are his children for heavens sake, he calls us his bride also,, God wants and desires family and doesn’t really speak on being single on this earth. But buy all means do you and if singleness is what your desiring than do you !! ✨✨🤍 I hope this helped someone honestly… 😊

      Single people are not the ONLY ones who have trauma and need therapy, but this mocking talk communicated EXACTLY that.
      No, single people do NOT need to use ‘this time’ for therapy, because MARRIED people need it AS MUCH. And THEY have 2 incomes so THEY can go.
      Single people don’t even GET gifts, now they’re being told there’s something so wrong with them that they have to GIVE UP their birthday gift.
      Nice message. Meanwhile WIVES get SPOILED all the time. They don’t HAVE to give up gifts let alone birthday gifts because there’s something ‘wrong’ with them or because of THEIR trauma. They GET to have a gift.
      He take his WIFE on vacation every month. But SINGLE women can’t even buy themselves as LITTLE birthday gift ONCE a year

      It’s pathetic hypocrisy to treat single people like they need to earn marriage or mature for marriage when that is NOT Biblical.
      It’s also INCREDIBLY unloving and CRUEL to make single people feel even MORE unworthy and BROKEN than they already do, so they’ll feel like they will NEVER be good enough for marriage.
      There’s always SOMETHING they NEED to do. Married people NEVER have to prove themselves this way and they DIDN’T engagement or a relationship. It’s the one’s COMPLETELy alone who ALREADY work on themselves, who get the criticism and assumptions that they NEED to improve SOMEHOW.
      One minute it’s their appearance, their purpose, their maturity, their Holiness. Now it’s ‘healing’. Always SOMETHING to shame singles with and make them feel like God is withholding marriage form them until they’re good enough.
      Always something to make them feel like they they just can’t pursue marriage or they can’t DARE want it after YEARS of waiting, because they should be ‘using this time’ to do SOMETHING.
      It’s been LONG ENOUGH, and the time has BEEN used. Stop assuming single people have things to FIX & IMPROVE that they can’t IN marriage,
      Like married people are GIVEN the grace to do. Single perfect must reach perfection FIRST.

    • @missNCW
      @missNCW Рік тому +7

      You’re assuming most singles get married because they want to buy they DON’T.
      That explains why you think singles can just ‘PREPARE’ and then magically and conveniently get married.
      But no. There are women twice your age who did ALL the therapy and ALL the SERVICE and ALL the conferences. And STILL single. Because it’s not about maturity and it being ‘ready’ or ‘patient’ or ‘trusting’ or healing from your trauma.
      You can do it ALL and STILL be single, because you don’t get marriage when you DESERVE it. It’s a blessing that NO ONE deserves means single women deserve it AS much as married women. And they don’t need to do ANYTHING to deserve it like this sermon suggests, like married people say,
      Like your comment Implies. Good DOES keep people single even THOUGH He gave them the desire. That’s just how it is, it’s unfair. Married don’t care so don’t think they understand or that their advice will make you more likely to get married.
      If you waited another decade you’d be sick of the patronising advice.

      @@missNCW Some people have been single for another decade and another decade. You still need to work on you. That's a life long journey. You'll still need to grow close to the Lord. Sounds like you need to work on that BITTERNESS because your heart is hard that God hasn't answered your prayers. Trust me, I've been there too. I'm working on me during this time. I want to be married but I gotta keep focused on working on myself. Because should I never get married, I will still be a better person for friends, family and those around me. Most importantly, I'll be a more faithful Christian. And that'll pay dividends in the long run. Keep God's perspective.

If that isn't 'single and secure', I don't know what is.

      Sorry we didn’t all meet our husbands at 15 but single women are TRYING their BEST. They’re busy serving with their free time, compensating for the work married women DON’T do - too busy on Instagram showing off.

      No time for that, but time to blame them for being single because they ‘never leave the house’. LIES.
      They WORK, single women are ADULTS too. They go to Church AND serve. But how dare they still be single when in the TINY amount of time left, they don’t get lucky enough to find a suitable husband.
      Shame on them I guess… can’t win so the married people. You date and it’s a problem, you try to date with the little time you have, and get told you never leave the house. But your HOURS of service is ignored.

      @@missNCW to be honest it is better single and pursue God - then His word says all the other things we desire will be made available to us (which at that point will be aligned to His purposes for you and me) than end up in a marriage which could be full of pain and frustrations. If you haven't seen what you're waiting on God for please surrender it over to Him. The Holy Spirit is a helper and his waiting for you to bring your frustrations to him. Tell him how you feel. He understands and is ready to give you the BIGGEST hug and tell you that "girl, you'll be alright". He knows you even more than you know you dear. Bring everything to Him. He wants to bless you with all that you're thinking of and even more but there's a version of us that God is waiting for - so the process we go through is very important to God because through the frustrations if we learn to lean on Him and not on anything else we are doing, you'll be amazed at what He does with you. He wants us to become a reflection of Him so we will be full of and manifest the fruits of the spirt - love, faithfulness, long suffering, patience etc. Girl He's got you ok. See your service in His house as worship to Him and not to man. His word says that He'll rejoice over us to do us good. God loves you sooooo much and wants to see you joyful and fulfilling your purpose but like how you'll watch a little child learn how to walk and not always interfere, He's there to catch you even before you hit the floor but His love for us wants the best for us so would patiently wait till we're ready to go on this journey of destiny with Him. Please give it a go and tell Him "Father I'm really unhappy because of .....(just list them) but I'm ready to give it another go. I'm praying for you dear friend. God bless you immensely.

    I am only in 10 minutes and I am already happy and smiling. Pastor Mike said that the main thing we need is therapy and theology. Meaning speak to someone to understand what makes you you and taking those qualities to God to refine and to help you articulate to your future partner or current partner.
    Most of the people on the stage are married and have experience of what we as single people need to do in order to help prolong our future or current relationships. Yes we need single representation on the stage but I think there is wisdom in hearing from married couples what they had to overcome over the years and what they had to introduce. It’s essentially a hand guide to help us to navigate through our future or current relationships.

This was so focused on marriage and relationships. It kinda contradicts the Title of the session😆 I didn’t see too many points of ppl talking about how to exactly be a Single & Secure person. And things you should be doing in this Single Season! I mean their stories were nice. I hate to say it, but I think everyone up on that panel with the exception of Mike Todd missed the mark!

      How can married people that were single for only a few years and during a totally different decade talk about being single? These people are talking preaching about being single and preparing to get married, because they have been married for years. There is not enough people on the planet for everybody to get married. People that are single need to preach to single people, because they know their struggles.

    Pastor Todd said that “God don’t want to date with you” - God desires for us every day that we can have date with him through our bible reading and time with him even when you walk at the forest or the street God wants to go with you even you don’t but God always beside you.
    Young believers you should read your bible and speak to God everyday even how many times you listen to the sermon of the preacher if you don’t have personal time with God you will never grow in your personal relationship with him.
    Our greatest relationship to pursue is Jesus not someone out there a man/woman. It’s God and if you will get married one day that is the bonus of God with you because of his goodness. He gave you someone to be with to the ministry for the kingdom of God not because you deserve to have someone because everybody are getting married.
    Don’t just listening to the sermon that makes you feel good how the preacher said but listen to what is the truth about the word of God. God is not like Santa Claus that everything you prayed for he will answer like what Pastor Todd said. If God is gracious God and Just God he will give that will glorify him not just because he want to give what you ask for.

      I agree with you that Jesus should be our number 1 pursuit. Seek first the Kingdom and all will be added🙏 just wanna clarify though that you misstated what he said.. He didn't say "God don't want to date with you." He said at 27:30 "God will not date FOR you. He won't have a heart conversation FOR you". (Unless he said God don't wanna date you somewhere else, I didn't hear that). Otherwise I agree with you. Personal time with God is absolutely everything🙏

    @missvee1650 Рік тому +75

    Hello Vous staff, not sure if you will see this message or not but I just wanted to provide some feedback.
    I think the speakers all said something relative but the title of the conference was single and secure. I may have had the wrong impression but I was expecting to hear from single people who are actively following Jesus and leading a full well rounded life irregardless of their desire to marry or not.
    While a marital perspective is great, please be mindful not everyone in the church desires to be married, or perhaps they aren’t in that season at this moment.
    As Pastors I would’ve like to see more compassion and less targeted comedy towards the one single woman on the panel. Y’all were joking and I get it but Ms M. literally spoke about her struggle with seeing so many great marriages around her and not being able to have the same.
    Maybe it was the delivery and perhaps things went off course but I thought I would walk away from watching this, with practical tools to walk into a secure place while single. If that was the goal… y’all kinda missed the mark.
    I love Pastor Todd though… mighty man of God and a charismatic speaker.

    • @cheftesiab

Everyone’s story and insight she’s so much light and wisdom! Thank you Mike Todd for being bold to share rip up the list and holding on to expectations that are ours and not Christ! I am open to receive Gods forgiveness and healing! Thank you Vous for this! Will be watching again and sharing and implementing 👏👏

      No, we need conversations from SINGLE people who know what they’re talking about.
      Not people who haven’t dated since the NINETIES and don’t have a clue.
      It’s not fair or loving to mock single women, when they ARE dating and doing their best. Married women go on Instagram and post their happy families and get treated like saints.
      Single women work all week, serve on the weekend and that’s still not good enough. There’s FAR less Christian men in the Church so they have less options and not EVERYONE gets pursued.
      But it’s THEIR fault according to the Pastor who met his wife at FIFTEEN before there was even Facebook. He doesn’t UNDERSTAND.
      Easy to JUDGE when you’re antried

    Hey family, I've been reading a few of the comments and have some different opinions.
    I wholeheartedly agree that looking back at the title after watching the ENTIRE video ( always watch the entire video people), I do think that this panel was intended for good, but simply missed the mark. For a panel specifically titled "Single and Secure" having a panel of married people is discouraging for singles who genuinely wanted advice. It seems they wanted to fill the panel with wise counsel (which was achieved), but 90% of them are married.
    HOWEVER, I think this demonstrates flawlessly the error and flaw of human nature. Although we can look to others for advice and counsel, the Word of God will be the one and true, PERFECT source, NO human error source. We should be looking there for all wisdom and knowledge, and panels like these ( in their essence) should be tools for clarity.
    if you have pressing questions, get plugged into a church and seek wisdom for the pastors and leaders in person, that way you can always fact-check them. xx
