The Own Your Singleness Podcast with Jessica Hutton

Aren't you tired of watching other people live their dreams? In this podcast, Jessica tells a brief story about how she wasted so much time watching other people live their dreams while wishing that her life would change. Then after a transformative prayer experience, Jessica realized that if she was going to LIVE well and thrive, then she needed to own her faith, trust in God, and partner with Him to make her dreams come true. If you have been wasting your time watching others accomplish their goals and fulfill their dreams, then it's time for you to stop waiting, praying, wishing, and hoping and take action. It's time for you to Live Intentionally Victoriously & Excellently as unto the Lord! A new year is coming; how you've spent this year will directly impact how next year unfolds. If you don't want to repeat the things you've disliked about this year, then take ownership of your life and possess the promised land that God has set before you! Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Stop being mad about your life if you're not going to do anything to change your circumstances. God has given you the capacity, gifts, talents, and skills you need to be successful – own it by being a good steward of your life. Your experiences prepared you for the promised land that awaits you. If you appreciate your experiences and background then you can make it work to benefit other people. Your pain has a purpose. Your success has a purpose. Everything you do has a purpose but it won't benefit others and yield success if you don't take ownership of your life.

The Importance of Life Satisfaction in Singleness Singleness affords us an opportunity to live intentionally victoriously and excellently, and to become people who enjoy holistically happy, healthy, and prosperous lives. And the key to doing those things is to own our singleness. So, what does that mean? It means we need to focus on increasing our life satisfaction and wellbeing – which is what this mindshift episode is all about. Life satisfaction is the subjective assessment of an individual's overall attitudes and feelings about their life as a whole. It is the degree to which a person determines how positively or negatively they feel about their quality of life, specifically regarding how rich, meaningful, full, or high quality it is. We evaluate our life satisfaction based on whatever domains of life we consider to be most important. Most of the time, especially when using a tool such as the wheel of life, people measure their life satisfaction by evaluating the following domains: Money & Finance Career & Work Health & Fitness Fun & Recreation Environment Community Family & Friends Partner & Love Growth & Learning Spirituality Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Definition and explanation of life satisfaction. How to use the wheel of life. Happy, healthy, and prosperous individuals become happy, healthy, and prosperous spouses. Your personal development and overall well-being are highly important and you must learn how to nurture these things while you're single. The 2021 LIVE & LOVE Planner will launch on November 30, 2020. Stay tuned!

Is it possible to desire marriage and still own your singleness? Many single Christian women are made to feel bad for desiring marriage. They're told they idolize marriage, they don't have the right kind of priorities, and that they need to be happy with their singleness. Single Christian women are humiliated and made to feel ashamed for wanting a husband, and yet, the judgment that's inflicted on them is not applied to any other life domain. In this controversial podcast, Jessica wants Christian singles to know that living well and thriving in your singleness while preparing for marriage, is not mutually exclusive. With that, she reminds listeners that owning your singleness is not about accepting unwanted singleness as your inevitable fate, rather, it's acknowledging that your single season is just as significant and relevant as the future marriage you believe God for. Because living well and thriving while you're single will increase your capacity to love well and thrive in your future marriage. Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Owning your singleness and preparing for marriage are not mutually exclusive endeavors. If you LIVE well and thrive while you're single, then you will increase your capacity to LOVE well and thrive in your future marriage. The enemy wants to discourage Christian singles from desiring and pursuing #kingdommarriages because, if they do marriage according to God's word, they will be demonstrating Christ's love for His church. You invest time, money, resources, and intellectual energy into preparing for other things you desire in life, it's time for you to do the same when it comes to your marriage.

If you stay ready you never have to get ready. In today's podcast, Jessica implores you to prepare for what you've prayed for. It's easy to standby in hope, faith, and prayer without doing anything to receive what you desire. Rather than doing that, Jessica encourages you to act as if what you've prayed for will come to pass very soon. Instead of waiting passively for the Lord to answer your prayer, partner with Him by exercising your faith in action. Some Themes in This Podcast Include: When it comes to marriage, people wait, but they would never just wait for anything else to happen in their lives… No one waits for a promotion at work…they invest in learning and professional development, and otherwise put in the time, energy, and money it takes to increase the likelihood of getting that promotion… They do the same thing when it comes to starting a business, or doing anything else they think will improve the quality of their lives… So why not do the same for marriage? As you own your singleness, do what you can to increase your capacity to be a good steward of your future marriage and to be the kind of wife that the kind of husband you're praying for will be grateful to have.

LIVE Well & Thrive While You're Single & You Will Be In Position to Meet Your True LOVE. Owning your singleness is about Living Intentionally Victoriously & Excellently and choosing to thrive in your singleness. Just because you own your singleness doesn't mean you don't want to be married. And sometimes the unfulfilled desire for marriage can be a disheartening experience that makes you want to stop LIVE'ng and give up hope that your life as a single woman is worth living, and that believing in love is worthwhile. So, in today's #mindshiftmonday podcast, Jessica wants to remind you to keep LIVE'ng! Own your singleness because this is your season to do just that. And as you LIVE, then, at the appointed time, you will be positioned to meet the man God approves and affirms to be your spouse. Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Many people highlighted in scripture were owning their singleness before their God-ordained spouse came along Living in and on purpose positions you for all the spiritual, material, and relationship blessings that God has in store for you We must LIVE well as unto the Lord because we have been strategically positioned in this season of life – as singles – to fulfill specific assignments, and to learn, develop, mature, and build in many areas of our lives Finally, people who focus less on getting married and more on living their best life are more likely to meet their spouses in unexpected ways and at an unexpected time It's important to steward your time well and own every aspect of our lives TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST If you enjoy the Own Your Singleness podcast, please share, subscribe, and leave a review, that way more people can find us and be blessed to LIVE & LOVE well.

Have we gotten Proverbs 18:22 wrong when it comes to Christian dating? Do men always have to be relationship initiators? The New International Version of Proverbs 18:22 reads as follows: “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” This bible verse is used to inform the dating patterns of Christian men and women. We are told that women should never initiate a relationship with a man and that men are completely responsible for pursuing a woman. At the risk of upsetting many people, Jessica believes something very different and she's exploring this controversial topic in today's podcast. If you've ever wondered about whether women should ever show a man interest, and men, if you've ever wondered if the onus is on you to initiate all aspects of forming and sustaining a relationship, then this episode is for you. Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Proverbs is a book of wisdom. The content of the book consists of wisdom and guidance that, if applied, will result in greater life satisfaction and well-being. Unlike precepts, otherwise called the laws of God, not applying the proverbs is not sin…unless, the proverb is directly related to a sin that is mentioned in God's law, such as, “thou shalt not commit adultery.” Still, many people regard Proverbs 18:22 as a law that we must adhere to if we want to be married. That is, they believe, men and women can only enter a legitimate relationship if a man actively pursues a woman. If a man does not actively pursue a woman, then the relationship will be out of order, and even if the couple marries, their marriage will be topsy-turvy because somehow the woman will be the head and not the man. Perhaps we should consider multiple, albeit SOUND, interpretations of Proverbs 18:22, and instead of clinging to it as law, we need to learn to be open to the leading of God's spirit.

Adam is sleeping. This is something I've heard many people say as they try to explain why so many eligible women remain single. Yet, interestingly enough, many don't acknowledge the fact that Adam was asleep because Eve was still being developed. In this #mindshiftmonday podcast, Jessica is going to share her reflections on what it means for Adam (the men women want to marry) to be sleep and how that implicates Eve (the women in waiting) to LIVE well & thrive in the meantime. Some Themes in This Podcast Include: What to do if you aren't experiencing success with your online dating profiles What it means for Adam to be sleep Why Eve's development is just as significant as Adam's TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST If you enjoy the Own Your Singleness podcast, please share, subscribe, and leave a review, that way more people can find us and be blessed to LIVE & LOVE well.

We've officially entered Autumn and it's cuffing season. Almost everywhere you look online you will find memes associated with cuffing season. People are looking for ways to settle down through the cold months and holidays. And while it seems like a harmless social media trend that people have fun with, some Christians adamantly oppose cuffing season as a hook-up holiday. So, in today's podcast, Jessica is going to challenge you to consider multiple interpretations of cuffing season. She's going to talk about the pros and cons of participating – if that's such a thing – and remind you that this season, like all others, is in God's hands. Besides, if you want to be in a partnership that leads to marriage, you need to be open to unexpected things happening in unexpected ways, and cuffing season may just be one of those ways Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Overview of cuffing season, when it happens, and what it means to participate. Is cuffing season really a thing to be concerned about. Multiple interpretations of cuffing season by exploring its good, bad, and ugly aspects. The importance of following your personal convictions and the leading of the Holy Spirit when considering whether to “participate” in cuffing season.

Christians are instructed to love each other, does that mean we should try to maintain connections with people after a relationship has ended?

Do You Know Which Season of Singleness You're In? We've heard it said many times – “there is a time and season for everything.” And while we understand what that means, we may not always appreciate the significance of the times and seasons. Being single long-term is not always easy. And even though we understand the importance of owning your singleness, sometimes, you don't want to own it…sometimes you just want it to end so that you can share your heart with someone special who will never leave you. But our longings don't change the seasons, and since it's inevitable to go through each season, it's important to learn how to practice self-care and maintain hope through every season of singleness. In today's episode, Jessica is going to talk about the four seasons of singleness with the hopes that you will learn how to embrace every moment of your singleness as an opportunity to become a better version of yourself. My heart is that you will evolve into a healthy, happy, and prosperous woman who lives well and thrives in every way so that when you finally do marry, you will be a happy, healthy, and prosperous wife that enjoys a stable, satisfying, and sustainable marriage with the man who will love you well for life. Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Each season represents a different set of circumstances that influences the mindset and emotions we have about being single at a certain point in our lives. The four seasons of singleness unveil the process of coming to terms with your singleness while maintaining hope to be married one day. It's important to learn how to navigate each season successfully so that you can increase your life satisfaction and well-being and become a happy, healthy, and prosperous individual.

Happy, healthy, and prosperous singles become happy, healthy, and prosperous spouses! Happy, healthy, and prosperous singles become happy, healthy, and prosperous spouses. The key to becoming happy, healthy, and prosperous is to Own Your Singleness. The LIVE & LOVE Pillars help you do just that, and they are the guiding framework for LIVE & LOVE Enrichment Some Themes in This Podcast Include: Several studies indicate that people who are happy with their lives regardless of their relationship status experience greater levels of life satisfaction. One particular study indicates that “married people are happier, but that's because happier people are more likely to find a partner.” The study also lets us know that it's not being single, per se, but a person's satisfaction with it that influences their well-being. So, according to the research, the happiest singles are those who are single by choice and people who decide to own their singleness regardless of the reason they're single. That said, it's so vital for individuals to learn how to live well and thrive while they're single, which is why I came up with the LIVE & LOVE Pillars.

When people talk about cheating they frequently target men. It's hard for people to imagine women cheating. Women are often considered emotional beings, so when we imagine them cheating, we tend to imagine them having emotional affairs. However, the unfortunate reality is that women do cheat. They cheat often, and they cheat sexually. In this episode, Jessica is going to tackle a challenging topic that makes a lot of people uncomfortable - especially if they've been cheated on. She is going to share about her past as a frequent cheater and how she came out of it. She will also explain why she cheated and why she thinks that women, in general, cheat. Finally, she will share how discovering your identity in Christ, and understanding your value and worth helps you stop cheating on people, and even decreases the likelihood of being cheated on.

You've heard it said that it's challenging to date as a black woman. When it comes to romance, black women - especially dark-skinned black women - are frequently regarded as undesirable and consequently overlooked as romantic prospects. Unfortunately, because many black women have been experienced so many disappointments in the dating world, we are especially vulnerable to believing that we should expect to be rejected. For too long black women have bought into the lies that the struggles associated with dating while black outweigh the romantic possibilities. We've believed lies that we are unlikely to find true love because: People find black women unattractive Of the prevalence of prejudice against black women with darker skin tones (Colorism) Black women are more unlikely to date outside their race Black men don't seem to want to be with black women anymore And the list goes on... In this podcast, I share some of my experiences with dating as a black woman and then challenge black women to #changethenarrative. God has the final say in all things. If we desire true love and believe that God has a man for us, then we need to say what God is saying about our lives and stop perpetuating the false narrative that black women are undesirable, unworthy, and doomed for rejection. We must #changethenarrative about dating as a black woman because words create worlds...In other words, we have what we say. And if we believe in our hearts that God has called us to be married one day, then we must think, speak, and act like women who know our worth and Live Intentionally Victoriously & Excellently as unto the Lord until the men God has approved to be our #kingdomspouse arrives.

Single Christian women have been bombarded with messages that suggest they need to be nearly perfect to qualify for marriage. Single women have been trained to believe that the reason they remain in unwanted singleness is that God is punishing them for their sins, and that the only way to finally get married is to repent and live nearly perfect wives. In this podcast, Jessica Hutton voices strong opposition to that idea. She believes that marriage is not a reward for good behavior. More than that, she believes that teaching people certain things they must do to get a spouse perpetuates the lie that to receive blessings from God we must be perfect or work hard to prove ourselves. If you are a single woman who desires to be wed, and God has purposed for you to be married one day, there is no list of qualifications you must fulfill to be blessed with the man God has for you. You don't need to work to qualify for a quality man, you only need to LIVE well and thrive in your singleness by faith. And at the appointed time - whether you've got it together or not - you will be blessed with a divine opportunity to LOVE well and thrive in your future marriage - with the man who loves you just the way you are.
