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/

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.

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?

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.

Pleading with God through desperate prayers and waiting for Him to answer can create havoc in your spiritual journey unless you arm yourself with God's truth.

Part 3: 3. Be wise in your approach Questions that should be asked before a relationship becomes serious Not all of these are deal breakers, but they need wise examination and counsel Your spiritual testimony No Unequal yoke with someone who is not a believer Virginity Porn Drugs/alcohol Debt Your friends saw the red flags. Your family voiced their concerns. But you were so caught up in the excitement of new love that you missed all the warning signs. Now you're stuck in a relationship that's making you absolutely miserable. Why does this happen? According to researchers at University College London, “feelings of love lead to a suppression of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought.” In other words, love can not only make you blind, but stupid. So, how can you keep your brain switched on while dating and dodge potential bullets in the realm of romance? According to relationship expert Dr. John Van Epp, author of How to Avoid Falling in Love With a Jerk, it's about using both your head and your heart by taking the time to understand your partner's F.A.C.E.S.

We learn in recovery that often times we are tempted to seek a geographical solution for a spiritual problem. So we think that our circumstances are the problem instead of learning how to be God's man or woman inside the circumstance itself. This Sunday, Paul will teach us to think about our our own context and how the gospel can be embodied and brought to bear in our day-to-day lives in the unique circumstances that each of us find ourselves.
