Podcasts about singleness

Big Idea: Growing your relationship with Jesus will also grow every other relationship. 1 Corinthians 7:1-9I. Sex can't take the place of Jesus 1 Corinthians 7:1-2Now in response to the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because sexual immorality is so common, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman should have sexual relations with her own husband.II. A spouse can't replace Jesus1 Corinthians 7:3-5A husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise a wife to her husband. A wife does not have the right over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband does not have the right over his own body, but his wife does. Do not deprive one another—except when you agree for a time, to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again; otherwise, Satan may tempt you because of your lack of self-control.III. Singleness is a gift from Jesus1 Corinthians 7:6-7I say this as a concession, not as a command. I wish that all people were as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one person has this gift, another has that.IV. Self-control is only possible through Jesus 1 Corinthians 7:8-9I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am. But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire.Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my life to Jesus today.Become: I surrender my relationships to Jesus today.Be Sent: I will help someone develop a relationship with Jesus this week. Discussion Questions: What is your most important relationship right now?  Why? Do your most important relationships always come easily? Has Jesus ever radically changed one of your relationships? If so, explain.Do you view single people as missing something in their lives? If singleness is a gift from God, can marriage also be a gift from God?Where do you need relationship self-control today?Surrender control of all your relationships to the Holy Spirit this week

In this message, Pastor Noel discusses the often-overlooked topic of singleness within the church, drawing insights from 1 Corinthians 7. He emphasizes that singleness, like marriage, is a gift from God, offering unique opportunities for undivided devotion to the Lord and gospel ministry. Noel challenges common misconceptions that view singleness as a lesser state or a "waiting room" for marriage. He encourages singles to leverage their flexibility for God's purposes while also addressing the temptations and pitfalls that can arise in this season of life.Subscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the Exodus JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

What does the Bible say about sexuality and singleness? Over 100 million people in the United States are single. Unfortunately, statistics show that many singles, both inside and outside the church, are not living in accordance with God's design for sexual intimacy. What is Jesus calling singles to, and does He want everyone to marry? This week, Pastor Rob Danz will discuss how the church can support and uplift singles to live for the Kingdom of God.

Being single in a family-focused church can feel complicated! In this episode, we dive into what it means to truly live, grow, and find joy in the season you're in. We talk about navigating cultural expectations, finding confidence in your path, and embracing singleness as a meaningful part of discipleship—not just a phase to get through.

In today's episode, we're exploring intimacy - a concept that's far more complex than most of us realize. My guest, Erin Moniz, has been studying how we connect, disconnect, and misunderstand relationships in our current cultural moment. We'll dig into some critical questions: What does intimacy actually mean beyond romantic relationships? How have cultural messages - both inside and outside the church - distorted our understanding of connection? And what might a more holistic approach to knowing and being known look like? Erin brings a unique perspective as a college chaplain who's counseled countless emerging adults navigating relationships. We'll discuss how technology impacts our connections, why friendships matter as much as romantic partnerships, and how the gospel offers a different framework for understanding human relationships. This isn't a prescriptive how-to conversation, but an exploration of our fundamental human need for genuine connection. We'll challenge some assumptions about singleness, marriage, and community, and hopefully provide a more nuanced view of intimacy. So join us.Rev. Erin F. Moniz (DMin, Trinity School for Ministry) is a deacon in the Anglican Church in North America and associate chaplain and director for chapel at Baylor University, where she disciples emerging adults and journeys with them toward healthy, gospel-centered relationships.

Ashley Anderson is a ministry leader and wise voice who lives in New York and has become a dear, dear friend of mine. She was our April guest on the Single Purpose League podcast last month, and we had a conversation around having a theology of singleness—What does that mean? Why does it matter?

It felt so important to all of us so, today, we're sharing that conversation with all of you.  We're doing that this week because Single Purpose League registration is open!

If you have a friend who could benefit from a community of women figuring out our single purpose and our purpose while single, will you text them this episode and let them know about Single Purpose League? Every month we're tackling topics that help us thrive as single people. We have an exclusive podcast, monthly livestream where we do Q&A (they're a blast) and opportunities throughout the year to meet up in person and connect. We also just announced our summer book club, so now's a GREAT time to jump in.

In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul responds to the Corinthians' concerns about marriage, singleness, and life after marriage within a morally corrupt culture. He teaches that both marriage and singleness are gifts from God, not based on personal preference but divine calling. The gift of marriage, Paul explains, can lead to practical blessings such as greater peace, protection from sexual immorality, and the potential for a spouse or children to come to faith. He also notes that being in the will of God—whether married or single—leads to less anxiety and greater joy, as we walk in alignment with His grace and purpose.

Singleness takes all forms. Some choose it, some don't. Some want to find someone else, others enjoy being single. Whether you are young and still single, widowed, gone through a divorce, or just haven't found a person you want to date – you are not less than or incomplete simply because you haven't found that person. For those of you who choose to be single, you are honored. To those of you looking and frustrated, you are not alone. And God is doing work in you even now, that will prepare you for whatever relationship lays ahead.

Together, we talk about the tension between trusting God and desiring a relationship, the myths around marriage being the ultimate fulfillment, and how to trade a scarcity mindset for one grounded in God's protection and purpose.

I have been pursuing missions as a single female for the past 10 to 15 years. There are so many opinions from the church about what it means to be single and a believer, as well as being a single believer pursuing missions. I am no expert in the field of singleness, relationships, or dating. The goal of this session is to have a panel discussion of the extreme points of view on singleness in the church and try to find a more balanced approach to loving those who are single well in the church.

James 4:1 so famously writes, “What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?” It's not surprising that marriage is a hotbed for conflict.
