Episode SummaryIn this soul-stirring conversation, Laura Nicholson shares her remarkable journey of finding value beyond relationship status. As Director of Second2None School Support, worship leader, and soon-to-be adoptive mum, Laura opens up about navigating church hurt, embracing singleness, and discovering her unchanging worth in God. Contrary to what many church cultures imply, Laura demonstrates how a single life can be filled with purpose, community, and impact—proving that our value isn't determined by our status but by who we are in Christ.About Our GuestLaura Nicholson is the founder and director of Second to Non School Support, providing clerking services to over 150 schools across the northwest UK and beyond. Beyond her professional achievements, Laura is an accomplished worship leader and musician in her local church. She has experience as a foster carer and is currently in the process of becoming an adoptive parent. Laura's journey through performance Christianity to authentic faith offers wisdom for anyone struggling to find their place in church or society.Key TakeawaysYour value transcends status - "Knowing your value in God is crucial because that's the thing that will never change. Your feelings will come and go, but your value, where you put your trust, is crucial."Community heals - "Pray to God that he brings the right people to you at the right time. He doesn't want you on your own."Church culture needs balance - Laura challenges the family-centric nature of many churches: "It's not about what you don't have. It's looking at all the amazing things that are going well."Singleness has unique benefits - "My forties have been some of my best years so far. I'm the most steady and secure I've ever been."Faith empowers purpose - Laura's journey into fostering and adoption demonstrates how faith can empower significant life decisions regardless of relationship status.Join the ConversationHave you struggled with finding your value beyond relationship status or navigating church as a single person?

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. When you live so closely with someone else, it's easy to see their flaws, shortcomings, and mistakes in high definition. So what can you do to stop constantly fighting? In this special session from Reclaim 2024, Brad Rhoads shares what helped cut fighting and elevate fun in his marriage.

April 5, 2025Strength to Strength welcomed Jennifer Miller to discuss how singleness can be a blessing.Sometimes we get the message that a woman most truly fulfills her purpose as a woman when she is in the role of wife and mother. A more robust understanding of God's purpose for marriage, however, reveals that both singleness and marriage are intended to showcase God's plan for His relationship with His people. Rather than being a second-rate position or a Plan B that I just need to make the best of, singleness allows believers to fill a vital role in the kingdom of God.This talk aims to empower both single and married women to embrace the role they are currently in and to encourage each other to do the same.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/gods-purposes-for-singleness/

Ellen reflects on her pre-Christian dating experiences and how faith transformed her understanding of marriage from a "cure for loneliness" to a divine tool for spiritual formation. Together, they explore how God uses relationships to shape us into His image.Ellen and Taylor address big questions: How do we trust God's timing when everyone else seems to be finding love? What happens when our worth becomes tied to our relationship status? How do we recognize authentic red flags versus normal human imperfections? And perhaps most importantly, how do we cultivate relationships that genuinely reflect Christ's love?Whether you're single and wondering if God has someone for you, dating and trying to honor God in your relationship, or married and seeking to grow, this conversation offers biblical wisdom wrapped in authentic personal experience.

There are so many challenges that come with leading a church well, especially when it comes to how to express their stance on Biblical sexuality. Many want to be a place where people can wrestle with the truth about God and sex and figure things out, while also being sure to prioritize biblical orthodoxy. How can they do both? Pastor Evan Wickham, from Park Hill Church in San Diego, joins Juli to share lessons he's learned and what his church is doing to lead biblically with clarity and love.   NOTE: We had some technical issues with recording this episode, but wanted to make sure you got to hear a great conversation--thanks for being patient with us!   Guest: Evan Wickham   Park Hill's Instagram: @prkhllchrch Evan's Instagram: @evanwickham   Park Hill's Website: parkhillsd.church   Join our email list!   Blog: Has God Changed His Mind About Sex?   Java with Juli with Dr. Juli Slattery – Christian Discussions on Marriage, Sex and Singleness.

The opposite of simplicity seems to be complexity. Complexity often leads to confusion. Let’s overcome confusion? 1 Cor 14:33 NASU 33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. Join the JOYLAND Community as we discuss: Are there areas of your faith in God (Father-Son-Spirit) that are potentially vulnerable to confusion & loss of Simplicity & Singleness through complexity? Possibilities we have looked at: * conflicting biblical or doctrinal assumptions – options on eschatology * prayers v. delayed answers - love/forgiveness/mercy/judgment/punishment * cultural justice v. cultural mercy – needing money v. loving money – others? If so…ask, How can I bring my heart and mind back to “… the simplicity that moves into the Christ (Jesus)?” (because that simplicity leads into relationship, peace & trust) Follow along at our social outlets: https://joylandlife.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joylandlife/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5-vPe7h_wjctIQxnaUQSnQ?view_as=subscriber Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/joyland-life/id1494637858 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6gCbEDE8pgrNhHlG0WM0fo?si=6fSKeO87SoGrx2BOUveHfQ&nd=1 Zoom: https://www.zoom.us/j/3377733377 Joyland App: https://tithely.app.link/joyland (You must follow this through your phone.)

Welcome to the Engage and Equip podcast. In February, pastor Devin led a seminar called Singleness is for Everyone here at High Point going over what the bible teaches about singleness. We'll be posting the recordings as a series of three episodes throughout the month of March to help bring light to this topic and seek to encourage and educate all Christians with these Biblical truths. This episode is from session 3 of the seminar, the conclusion of this series, where we'll explore how we can honor singleness as a genuine spiritual gift, create spaces where single Christians can thrive, and build a church community that truly values all the gifts God has given us. If you have any questions about what's talked about in this series that you'd like to hear in an Ask Me Anything, a sermon or a future podcast, please fill out the Google form here: https://forms.gle/H21PVVjWc4eMApsK7. Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.Find more episodes at highpointchurch.org/podcastMusic: HOME—We're Finally Landing, Nosebleed, If I'm Wrong (https://midwestcollective.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-night)
