Jon Harris offers encouragement to the growing number of singles – especially Gen-Z and Millennials approaching or past thirty – who dread the holidays because the spouse and children they long for are still nowhere in sight.Drawing from his own years of singleness and prolonged infertility, Jon refuses to give cheap platitudes or toxic “just be content” advice. Instead, he validates the very real grief of empty chairs at Christmas dinner, silent second bedrooms, and Hallmark movies that now sting.He reminds us that:- It's normal and right to mourn good gifts that haven't come yet - Church community and invitations help, but they don't (and can't) replace the family you don't have - Counting it all joy doesn't mean pretending the trial isn't hard—it means trusting the Father's mysterious, loving providence even while you weep - Jesus Himself knows singleness, rejection, and sorrow, and He entered this broken world at Christmas for the precise purpose of meeting you in yours.You're not forgotten, you're not failing, and you're not alone—God sees every tear, and the One born in Bethlehem is still Emmanuel, God with us, even in the ache.“Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.” (Job 13:15)“In this world you will have tribulation—but take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)Order Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.comCheck out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris?Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Let's talk about how marriage is so much more than just companionship. It's a kingdom assignment! When you have a calling on your life you can't just be marrying anybody! 

Ever wonder why you quit chasing your dreams, or why your goals always seem to stall out? It's not because you lack motivation. It's not because you're incapable, or that you missed your moment. The real reason we stop pursuing the life we want is because we don't want to feel the emotions that come with growth — the uncomfortable, awkward, uncertain emotions. And here's the part most of us don't see: feeling emotions isn't a problem. Avoiding them is. Today, we're going to talk about what it actually looks like to feel any feeling and still move forward. Because when you can handle the emotions that come with pursuing your goals, there is nothing you can't create. WHAT'S NEXT? Choose your next best step

If commitment feels awkward or uncomfortable right now, nothing has gone wrong—you're actually right where growth begins. In this quick bonus episode, we'll talk about why discomfort is the first sign you're moving from “interested” to truly committed, how to recognize the mindset shift that gets you unstuck, and why this stage of uneasiness is completely normal in the personal growth process. I'm also sharing a behind-the-scenes moment from my own Six Months From Now Movement and the commitment I'm making right alongside you. If you're ready for more clarity, more confidence, and a real shift in your life, this episode will help you take the next step. WHAT'S NEXT? Choose your next best step

Enter Jesus Christ with a reminder of God’s design and vision for marriage and singleness. Marriage and singleness are both held up in the New Testament as unique, legitimate paths for Christians. But at the center of marriage and singleness is not the individual. It’s not even the couple. It is God and His love for sinners. In Matthew 19, Jesus holds up a vision for marriage, divorce, and singleness that is empowered by grace. In Christian marriage and singleness, King Jesus is squarely on the throne. And His mercy changes us.

Let's Talk About Desire, Purity, and Christian Singleness

If you sat down this week to write your 25-wants list and… nothing came? If your mind went blank or your heart felt heavy? If the idea of wanting anything just felt exhausting? You are not alone — and nothing has gone wrong. In this quick bonus episode, we're talking about what happens when you're simply too tired to want anything. Maybe life has worn you out. Maybe you've been in survival mode for far too long. Maybe you're carrying responsibilities, expectations, and emotional weight that have quietly shut down your ability to dream. Inside this short episode, you'll learn: Why emotional exhaustion makes it hard to know what you want Why your brain fights dreaming (and how to work with it, not against it) How to gently wake your desires back up A simple reflection prompt to help your heart soften and open Why this discomfort is actually part of the dreaming process And how I am going through the Six Months from Now Movement right alongside you This is your invitation to take a breath, reset, and remember: Dreaming isn't something you “should already be good at.” It's something you rebuild slowly, gently, with God's help. You are doing better than you think. And you're not doing this alone. WHAT'S NEXT? Choose your next best step

Are you feeling stuck, running on autopilot, or wondering if there's more to your life than managing responsibilities and doing what's expected of you? In today's powerful episode, we kick off Step One of the Six Months from Now Movement — and it all starts with something you may have forgotten how to do: ✨ Dreaming again. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why so many women lose touch with their desires How cultural expectations (and fear of disappointment) quietly shut down your dreams The difference between managing your life and creating it Why your God-given desires are actually spiritual guidance A simple, life-changing exercise to uncover what you really want How dreaming strengthens your self-confidence and reconnects you to your divine identity I'll also share the personal story of how I lost my own ability to dream after marriage—how I slipped into “good wife” mode and stopped creating my life—and how Heavenly Father lovingly nudged me back into growth, possibility, and purpose. That nudge eventually led me to coaching, to launching this podcast, and ultimately… to you. If you're ready to feel alive again… ready to stop settling… ready to step into the next version of yourself… this episode is your starting point. ✨ This is the first step to changing your life.  This is where your future begins.

God's Good Design For Marriage And Singleness, Part 2 (Genesis 2:18-25)  | David Platt

In this message from Genesis 2:18–25, David Platt explains God's good design for marriage according to the Bible.Explore more content from Radical.

The Bible provides guidance for those who are single: dating to marry, and celibacy in singleness. Both are equally valid callings in life. As we see in 1 Corinthians 7, the Bible teaches us how to single and Christian.

In this episode of Thinking Christian, I sit down with Pieter Valk—founder and director of Equip and a founding brother of an ecumenical monastery in Nashville—to talk about what it really means to follow Jesus as single men and women in the church. Pieter shares how his ministry equips churches and parents to care well for people who experience same-sex attraction or gender incongruence while embracing a historic Christian sexual ethic. We explore the biblical vision for vocational singleness versus the default of “common singleness,” how marriage and singleness can actually reinforce one another, and why the church often feels ill-equipped to walk with LGBT+ Christians. Pieter also explains mixed-orientation marriage, challenges reductions of marriage to a “sexual outlet,” and helps reframe both marriage and singleness as vocations ordered toward spiritual fruitfulness. We close by reflecting on the political battles around sexuality and gender, how those debates have often distorted Christian witness, and what it might look like for the church to lead with discipleship, clarity, and hope instead of just echoing partisan talking points. If you’re a pastor, parent, or disciple trying to think more faithfully about sexuality, singleness, and manhood, this conversation will give you categories, language, and practical direction to move forward.

Have you ever felt like singleness is just a sentence of loneliness? Are you fixating on the person you don't have, instead of the purpose God has for you right now? The truth is, singleness only feels like loneliness when you're doing it wrong. In this powerful episode, Preston Morrison challenges the destructive lies of isolation, manipulation, and desperation. He lays out how to Steward Singleness Like A Savage by replacing frustration with fierce preparation. You'll discover: The difference between God's path and your own plans (and why you must stop trying to force what God doesn't want). Why the enemy wants you to think "never" when God is actually saying "not yet." The critical link between the bar you set for yourself as a single person and the bar for the spouse you can marry. The six areas of preparation you can conquer today to ensure your future is built on a solid foundation going into a relationship. Stop letting singleness be a drain and start letting it be the fuel for your future!
