Podcasts about singleness

In this heartfelt and empowering episode of Widowed 2 Soon, host Michelle Bader Ebersole sits down with author and educator Lalonna West to talk about what it means to rebuild life, identity, and faith after loss. Though Lalonna's story comes from the end of a 25-year marriage—not widowhood—her journey of becoming “Solo & Saved” speaks powerfully to anyone learning to live again after deep heartbreak.Together, Michelle and Lalonna explore how faith can transform loneliness into purpose, and how God can use even the most painful seasons to grow us into who we're meant to be. They discuss practical ways to find peace and contentment in singleness—through journaling, gratitude, prayer, and creating your own “war room” for spiritual growth.Whether you're newly widowed, years into your healing, or walking through another kind of loss, this conversation will remind you that you are never truly alone. You'll gain encouragement to move from mourning to dancing, and tools to help you embrace this new chapter with grace and confidence.In this episode, you'll hear about:Finding faith and healing after the loss of a spouse or relationshipSeeing singleness as a sacred and purposeful seasonBuilding self-care and accountability routines that support growthThe inspiration behind Lalonna's book Solo & SavedOvercoming grief, loneliness, and cultural pressures to “move on”Practical steps to rediscover joy, identity, and purposeIf you're seeking Christian encouragement, real-life wisdom, and stories that remind you there is life—and light—after loss, this episode is for you.

In a culture that often pressures singles to find a spouse and tempts married couples to wonder "what if," how does God view singleness and marriage? Dr. John Neufeld explores what the Bible teaches about both callings from 1 Corinthians 7, emphasizing that each is a gift from God with unique advantages and responsibilities. He addresses the importance of contentment in whatever state God has called you to, reminding listeners that marriage is a lifelong covenant designed by God for our holiness, not just our happiness.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.

10/26/25 Wounded Healers: Marriage & Singleness: God's Two Teachers - Doug Robins by City Tribe Church

This week Pastor Neli encourages us to remember the condition in which we were called is where we should remain with God. Singleness is not a curse or spiritual deficiency , both singleness and marriage are gifts from God. Know that Jesus is the true goal and that we can find fulfilment in whatever phase of life we're in.   Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called.  Were you a bondservant when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.)  For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ.  You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.  So, brothers, in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God. - 1 Corinthians 7:20-24 (ESV)

Is singleness or marriage the ideal Christian life? Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 7:1-7, showing that both callings have distinct advantages and challenges. Singleness offers freedom and undivided devotion to Christ, but carries sexual temptation and societal pressure. Marriage requires mutual sexual commitment as a lifelong spiritual discipline. God has specific plans for both the single and married.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

When cultural definitions challenge scripture, explore Christian teachings on marriage, singleness, and sexuality. This message anchors definitions in Jesus' original design from creation: marriage is a holy covenant between male and female, and singleness is an honored gift. God's Word is the highest standard of authority, offering guidance, grace, and healing for all relationship seasons. The path to identity and true intimacy is found in holiness and purpose.   Pastor: Jordan Hansen Series: You Asked For It (5) Title: Marriage, Singleness, & Sexuality Date: 2025.10.18+19 YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVQVNGAqiDEtVZxv79GmqhKpKEg1b-fud   LINKS:

50% of adults are single. Yet, our churches sometimes feel like they are built for only couples and families. In this message, we explore the unique challenges and opportunities following Jesus as a single person.

In this message from Costly Discipleship, Pastor Sean Gasperetti teaches from Matthew 19 on what Jesus says about marriage, divorce, and singleness. He reminds us that following Jesus in our relationships means surrendering comfort and control to honor God's design. Whether married, divorced, or single, we're called to reflect Christ's faithful love and find our ultimate fulfillment in Him.

10/07/2025 - Barry Danylak -on the purpose of singleness and marriage in the Kingdom of God

This week, Kelsi chats with author and theologian, Dani Treweek about her work on singleness and the church, and in particular, her new book, "Single Ever After: A Biblical Vision for the Significance of Singleness." Dani argues that just like marriage, singleness points us to eternity and therefore has intrinsic value to the church.

Sacred Singleness by Chicago Tabernacle

This week at Heritage, Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 7:6–16, showing us that God calls every believer, whether single, married, or divorced, to live faithfully right where He has placed them.Paul reminded the church in Corinth that following Christ means staying devoted to Him in whatever season of life we are in. Marriage is not about personal happiness but about holiness, reflecting Christ through faithfulness and love. Singleness is not a lesser calling but a season to serve the Lord with undivided devotion.We were reminded that our circumstances do not define our purpose. Christ does. Obedience where we are is the key to contentment in Him.

Every relationship in our lives is an opportunity to grow to become a person of love. How can we all intentionally build our relational lives, in The Way of Jesus? What role does friendship play? And what does faithful singleness look like?

Pastor Jack continues our God & The Whole Person series with "God & Singleness". To understand a theology of singleness, we have to start with identity. · Both singleness and marriage are a gift. · God has designed us to live content with His good gifts. · God, not your relationship or marital status is the one who completes your life.   WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE? · Continue to live fully devoted to God. · Make the most of your singleness. · Lean into the family of God.     If you want to support what God is doing through Cityline, click here: https://www.citylineonline.churchcenter.com/giving Want to learn more about Cityline and how to get involved?

SummaryIn this episode of the Right Side Up podcast, hosts Danielle Strickland and James Sholl engage in a profound conversation with Karissa Sovdi about the complexities of singleness within the church. They explore the societal and theological implications of viewing singleness as a problem to be solved rather than a valid and fulfilling life choice. The discussion touches on the idolatry of marriage and family, the importance of celebrating life milestones beyond traditional markers, and the need for genuine community and friendship. Karissa shares her personal journey of dismantling the ‘future wife' identity and embracing the gift of singleness, while also addressing the burdens and misconceptions surrounding it. The episode concludes with practical advice for living a fulfilling single life and the importance of inclusivity in church communities. Check out more from Karissa at Surviving Christianity Unmarried‘I never really identified as a person; I identified as a future wife'Takeaways* Singleness is often viewed as a problem rather than a valid life choice.* The nuclear family is idolized in North American Christianity.* Celebrating milestones beyond marriage is essential for community.* Eternal life and fulfilment can start now, not just in marriage.* Celibacy and singleness can be gifts that allow for deeper connections with God.* Friendship is crucial and often overlooked in discussions about singleness.* Comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy and loneliness.* The church needs to create inclusive spaces for singles.* Marriage should not be seen as the ultimate goal or solution to loneliness.* Practical steps can help individuals embrace and celebrate their singleness.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Karissa Sovdi01:32 Exploring Singleness in the Church03:50 Dismantling the Future Wife Identity07:43 The Idolatry of Family and Marriage11:02 Celebrating Life Beyond Marriage14:41 The Gift of Singleness and Celibacy18:50 Understanding Celibacy and Singleness21:15 The Role of Friendship in Singleness24:54 The Burden of Singleness in Church29:37 Reimagining Community and Connection32:11 Jesus' Example of Singleness35:17 The Crisis of Loneliness and Friendship38:29 Practical Steps for Living Singleness Well42:52 Conclusion and Resources Get full access to Right Side Up: Danielle Strickland at daniellestrickland.substack.com/subscribe

Y'all, today's episode was SO powerful and near to my heart! I got to sit down with one of my dear friends, Nicoletta Bradley—yes, the Nicoletta from Call Her Holy—and WOW, we went deep. We talked all things body image, identity, eating disorders, and singleness, and how Jesus truly redeems it all. Nicoletta opened up about her journey through a 20-year battle with eating disorders, a broken engagement, and how the Lord birthed Noble Fitness Ministries from her healing. We also dove into the gift of singleness, the dangers of cultural lies, and the power of knowing who you are in Christ. We even touched on spiritual gifts like prophecy and tongues and how God is still moving today! I'm seriously so proud of Nicoletta and know this will encourage so many of you.

Joy and purpose in singleness, plus a single guy’s take on being unmarried, and is it ever time to give up on marriage completely? Featured musical artist: James Peden Roundtable: What to Love About Being Single Singleness isn’t a death sentence. The Bible considers singleness a noble calling, so whether you’re content as a single or you’re praying for a mate, use your single season to grow, serve, build relationships, learn and embrace adventure. In honor of National Singles Week, our guests, all single, share their best stories and advice for embracing singleness with confidence and joy — and taking time to enjoy the ride.

He’s now a brand strategist, author, speaker — and single guy. He recently wrote a book about navigating life as an unmarried man in his early 30s, and what it looks like to walk in faithfulness today while hoping for marriage in the future. Bob uses everything from the words of Paul to lessons from his own life to outline the advantages of singleness, the need for accountability and friendship, and the blessings of trusting God with your single season.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “abundance out of scarcity “ with a discussion about how God provides when it seems that there is nothing. We turned to the phone lines to ask listeners the question, “How did God bring abundance out of your scarcity?” We then had Rachel Faulkner Brown join us to share her faith journey after losing two husbands before she was 31 years old, and the journey of widowhood since then. Rachel is the founder of Never Alone Widows, the largest Christian widow’s ministry in the country. She also hosts the podcast, There is More Podcast, and co-wrote Father’s House, an eight-week video-driven Bible study. She has also written the book, “Widow’s Might: 365 Days of Strength for Grief and Loss- Find Comfort, Hope, and Healing. We also had Lisa Anderson join us to discuss the importance of healthy relationships for singles and how to cultivate and find them. Lisa is the director of Boundless and Young Adults at Focus on the Family. She also hosts The Boundless Show, a national radio program and podcast. She is also the author of “The Dating Manifesto: A Drama-Free Plan for Pursuing Marriage with Purpose.” If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Caller Segment (How did God bring abundance out of your scarcity) [10:31] Rachel Faulkner Brown Interview (Walking with God through Widowhood ) [15:49 ] Lisa Anderson Interview (Healthy Singleness 101) [31:18 ]Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
