Podcasts about singleness

Our culture often treats singleness as a problem to be solved—but what does Scripture actually say?Janet Aucoin and co-host Noelle Haynie explore what it looks like to cultivate meaningful relationships both as a single person and with the singles in your life. Drawing from the examples of Jesus, Paul, and Mary and Martha, they discuss the unique opportunities that singleness provides, how married friends can care for singles well, and why community is not defined by relationship status.Episode Transcript⁠Resources:PodcastsSingleness Transformed - Joyful JourneyBooksSeven Myths About Singleness - Sam AllberrySingled Out for Him - Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSingleness Redefined - Carolyn Leutwiler WebsiteFaith Bible SeminaryVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.Emails us with questions or comments atjoyfuljourneyquestions@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate to Joyful Journey Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey Podcast is a ministry of Faith Bible Seminary.

Is singleness a gift or a trial? Should I keep asking God to give me a significant other, or am I not resting in him by continually asking? If you're single, it's likely that you've wrestled with questions like these. If you're not single, it's easy to overlook the struggles of those who are.  Singleness is one of those topics that comes loaded with opinions. Culture treats it like a temporary problem to overcome, the church sometimes treats it like a waiting room for marriage, and your own thoughts can bounce back and forth between hope and frustration. In this compassionate episode of our ongoing series, How to Handle Life, Austin Conner takes a different approach. Instead of asking how to get out of singleness, he'll talk about how to navigate it well right where you are. He'll be sharing 5 practical ways to approach singleness with honesty, courage, and faith. Before you assume this conversation only applies if you're currently single, don't tune out just yet. Many people move in and out of seasons of singleness over the course of their lives. As you listen, you'll get perspective and wisdom that will help you hold the multi-faceted experience of being single while simultaneously loving, following, and trusting Jesus.  Connect with us & subscribe to our weekly newsletter!

#170 Singleness can feel steady one day… and completely unsteady the next.One minute you're confident in God's timing. The next, you're wondering why your plans aren't unfolding the way you hoped. You can do “everything right” and still find yourself waiting, grieving, questioning, or feeling behind.So what actually keeps you steady?As we begin wrapping up the Loving Your Husband Before You Even Have One podcast, we're stepping back to look at the thread that has quietly run through every episode over the past five years: the character of God.In this episode, Char shares three truths that have echoed through countless stories shared on the podcast:    •    God is a Restorer — He doesn't just fix what's broken; He redeems, renews, and gives new identity.    •    God is a Provider — In seasons of waiting, loss, or uncertainty, He supplies what we truly need.    •    God is Sovereign — When life doesn't follow your timeline, His purposes still stand.This podcast was never a formula to get a husband. It was always about not putting off knowing and loving God until “real life” begins.If singleness feels unsteady right now, this episode is about the anchor that will hold you.Other episodes mentioned:Bonnie #91Abby #104Abby's new podcast--> Always HereJoy #136Hallie #31Greer #37Carrie #7Lance & Susan #11Julia #12Alex #29Kennedy #5RJ & Kim #50Brittany #97Vaughans #140For more information about the podcast and the Loving Your Husband Before You Even Have One, please visit ⁠www.kimvollendorf.com⁠.Find the current version of Loving Your Husband Before You Even Have One book on Amazon with this link:https://www.amazon.com/Loving-Your-Husband-Before-Even/dp/196280254X/ref=monarch_sidesheet_titleTo learn more about StuMo, visit https://www.stumo.org/For video clips, please visit our instagram page ⁠@sixonesis⁠Thanks for listening!

Is singleness a result of sin? This is one of the most thought-provoking questions about marriage, singleness, and the Christian life — and the answer may surprise you.

Why does Paul celebrate singleness? Why does he call it a gift when many see it as a curse? Paul elevates the singles in the church by pulling back our focus to see that devotion to God matters more than any relationship status.

30 Days Before The Crucfixion Pat 1 ( John Chapter 11 )

We're living in an age of sexual confusion—and the church hasn't escaped it. God's design has been blurred. Conviction has been softened. And clarity has been replaced with chaos. SUMMARY First Corinthians 7 speaks directly into sexual confusion, relational pressure, and delayed obedience. Paul addresses sex without embarrassment, marriage without idealism, singleness without shame, and faithfulness without apology. This chapter draws a clear line between cultural confusion and biblical conviction—and asks every believer where their true allegiance lies. REFLECTION & SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS Where do you see cultural confusion most influencing views of sex and marriage today? Why do you think believers are tempted to stay silent on these issues? How does Paul correct both sexual permissiveness and false holiness in this chapter? In what ways does culture load marriage with expectations it was never meant to carry? How does Paul redefine singleness as a gift rather than a deficiency? What does this chapter teach about obedience that doesn't wait for better circumstances? How should a believer live faithfully in a mixed-faith marriage? Why is faithfulness harder when obedience feels costly? Where might you be postponing obedience until life feels more settled? What would it look like for you to live fully devoted to Christ right where you are?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to John Deedrick from Andover, MN. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 7:39-40. A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. Yet in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God. — 1 Corinthians 7:39-40 Paul closes this long and careful chapter with calm clarity. After addressing desire, marriage, singleness, freedom, and faithfulness, he brings everything to rest on one steady truth: covenant still matters. He begins where Scripture consistently begins—with commitment. Marriage is not a temporary arrangement or a casual agreement. It is a covenant meant to endure for life, and Paul states this plainly, without apology or embellishment. At the same time, Paul is not careless with those who have suffered loss. When death ends a marriage, freedom is real. A widow is not bound forever; she is free to marry again, and Paul affirms that freedom without hesitation. But freedom is never detached from devotion. Paul adds a clarifying expression that shapes everything that follows: "only in the Lord." Choice is permitted, but allegiance remains. Desire may move, but it must move under the Lordship of Christ. Paul then offers his pastoral judgment—not as a command or pressure. He suggests that remaining single may bring greater happiness, not because marriage is lesser, but because undistracted devotion often produces more profound peace. His concern throughout the chapter has never been status, but spiritual steadiness. When Paul closes by saying that he speaks with the Spirit of God, he is not claiming superiority. He expresses confidence that wisdom shaped by the Spirit leads to a freedom that does not fracture faith. This final word is the heart of the chapter. Marriage is good. Singleness is good. Freedom is good. But none of them are ultimate. Freedom flourishes best where God's covenant is honored. When boundaries disappear into a field of choices, freedom does not expand—it collapses. But when freedom is shaped by devotion to the Lord, it becomes a gift rather than a threat to your soul. So we are all left with an invitation: live freely, choose wisely, honor the covenant, and remain anchored in the Lord. DO THIS: If you are facing a relational decision, write down what freedom looks like "in the Lord." Ask not only what you want, but what honors Christ. ASK THIS: Where do I confuse freedom with the absence of boundaries? How does covenant protect rather than restrict true freedom? What decision am I being called to make in the Lord right now? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for the freedom You give and the wisdom You provide. Teach me to choose within Your design, to honor covenant, and to trust that true freedom is found in devotion to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Even If"

El- Shaddai ( Genesis Chapter 17 )

The Lord's Prayer ( Matthew Chapter 6 )

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Jay T. Stilkey from Post Falls, ID. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 7:32-35. I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord. — 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 Paul slows down here. He doesn't issue commands. He offers care. He doesn't shame. He clarifies. His opening line reveals his heart: "I want you to be free from anxieties." Paul isn't ranking marriage and singleness. He's naming reality. Life adds weight. Responsibilities multiply concerns. Love creates legitimate obligations that divide attention—not because something is wrong, but because something is real. Marriage is not sinful. Singleness is not superior. Both are gifts. Both come with costs. Paul's point is simple but searching: devotion is shaped by attention. The unmarried believer has fewer competing demands and more flexibility to focus on pleasing the Lord. The married believer carries additional responsibilities—to a spouse, to a household, to shared decisions—and that naturally divides attention. Paul does not condemn that division. He acknowledges it. And then he tells us why he's saying any of this: "I say this for your own benefit… to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord." That's the key phrase in this section. Paul is not trying to restrict your life. He is trying to protect your focus. He knows that devotion doesn't usually disappear overnight—it gets crowded out slowly. Good things pile up. Legitimate concerns take center stage. And before long, what matters most gets pushed to the margins. Paul wants better for us. He wants a life ordered around what lasts. A heart that knows why it exists. A devotion that is clear, intentional, and unconflicted. This is not a call to escape responsibility. It's a call to clarity. Whether married or single, the question is the same: What has my attention—and what is quietly competing with my devotion to the Lord? Paul's vision is not a stripped-down life, but a focused one. Not fewer loves, but rightly ordered loves. Because true freedom is not the absence of responsibility. It is the ability to live with clear, undivided devotion to the Lord. DO THIS: Take five quiet minutes today and list the top five things that currently demand your attention. Ask God to show you which ones are crowding out your devotion to Him. ASK THIS: What responsibilities most divide my attention right now? Where have good things begun to crowd out devotion to the Lord? What would undivided devotion look like in my current season of life? PRAY THIS: Lord, You know the weight I carry and the concerns that fill my mind. Help me order my loves rightly. Free me from anxiety and lead me into clear, undivided devotion to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Clear the Stage"

Ezrica Bennett [author of the recent hit article, “Thirty, Single, and Feeling (Pluri)Potent”] hosts a wide-ranging conversation on singleness, church culture, purity messaging, and what it means to build a meaningful life outside the “marriage as finish line” narrative. Joined by Natalie Bruzon, Trudy J. Morgan-Cole, and Ella Quijada, the group talks candidly about the pressure cooker of Adventist dating culture, the ways purity culture can distort intimacy and consent, and how women's friendships and broader community can offer deep, sustaining love. Across generations and life stages, they wrestle with grief, freedom, and the ongoing work of “doing something while you wait”—not as waiting for a spouse, but as living fully in the present, with agency and spiritual depth. Ezrica Bennett graduated with a bachelor's degree in biology from Oakwood University. She has worked as a book editor for the Loma Linda University School of Medicine and has written for the Adventist Review and the Southeastern California Conference. She is a writer, public speaker, and coach, passionate about working with young adults to help them navigate life and faith, and a youth elder at the Loma Linda University Church.  Natalie Bruzon is a web producer for SPECTRUM, editor of SPECTRUM'S short news section, The Current, and the managing editor of the SPECTRUM journal. Her writing explores religion, politics, and life inside (and just outside) Adventism.  Trudy Morgan-Cole is a writer of historical fiction from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. She is the author of several works of historical fiction set in Newfoundland, as well as several novels re-imagining Bible stories, including Esther: A Story of Courage, and James, the Brother of Jesus. In 2025, Trudy retired after a forty-year career in education and is now, finally, a full-time writer.  Ella Quijada is a Campus Connect Columnist for Spectrum. She is studying psychology at Southern Adventist University with pre-medical emphasis and triple Spanish, chemistry, and biology minor.

Being single while loving God can feel confusing. You're growing. You're healing. You're praying. You feel ready. So why are you still single? In this episode of How to Win, we sit down for an honest conversation about Christian dating and singleness. Not from a place of frustration, but from reflection. We talk about the joy of singleness, the pressures men and women carry, navigating dating as a parent, and the quiet question many people wrestle with: Is God preparing me… or delaying me? Whatever season you are in this conversation is for you. Singleness is not wasted. And it's not a punishment. Let's talk about it.

Dating is complicated; Scripture doesn't avoid it. In Song of Songs 2:8–3:5, we see that love moves with pursuit, brings life and flourishing, and has wisdom for singleness and dating. This message walks through what to look for in a relationship (Christ, character, chemistry), why community + time matter, how to bring kindness + clarity to dating, and why we don't want to “awaken love before it's time.” Most of all, it points to Jesus as the truest Pursuer who brings healing and joy. Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. We desire to engage culture, uphold truth and love people. In a world where life can be heavy and confusing, we want to cover the hard truths - with grace. This is difficulty and messy - and so are we - but the love of Jesus meets us in our mess. Our rhythm is to gather to worship on Sunday and then scatter during the week to love, live and lead together. We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus. Come as you are. Experience His love.

The Call Of Samuel  ( 1 Samuel Chapter 3 )

Pastor James Roberson III 1 Corinthians 8:1–13

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Justin Gulbrandson from Olathe, KS. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 7:8-16. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife. To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? — 1 Corinthians 7:8-16 Some passages of Scripture are clean and crisp. This one isn't. Paul is dealing with real people in real situations—singles struggling with desire, marriages under strain, believers married to unbelievers, and relationships where obedience isn't simple or symmetrical. And Paul doesn't flatten the complexity. Instead, he shows us something vital: Our faithfulness is practiced in complicated places. Paul speaks first to singles and widows. Singleness can be a gift—but not everyone is given that assignment. Desire for a relationship isn't spiritual failure. But ignoring the boundaries and parameters is dangerous. For some, faithfulness means remaining single. For others, faithfulness means entering covenant marriage. Then Paul turns to married believers. His counsel is clear and rooted in Jesus' teaching: don't treat divorce as your spiritual escape hatch. Holiness doesn't come from abandoning the covenant when things get hard. But then the situation gets even more complicated. What if you're married to someone who doesn't share your faith? Or what if you made a faith commitment in an existing marriage where your spouse is not a believer? In this instance, Paul doesn't jump to separation. He doesn't demand instant withdrawal. He doesn't spiritualize abandonment, like some do and will. If the unbelieving spouse is willing to stay, Paul says: stay. Your presence matters. Your faith shapes the spiritual environment of the home. God works through covenant faithfulness more often than dramatic exits. But Paul also refuses to turn marriage into a prison cell. If the unbelieving spouse chooses to leave, the believer is not enslaved. God does not call His people to endless relational warfare. God has called you to peace. That line matters. You are responsible for your obedience to God's Word—not outcomes you don't control. You cannot convert your spouse by force, pressure, or guilt. Faithfulness is not the same as control. Then Paul ends with holy expectation: "How do you know… whether you will save your spouse?" In other words, trust God with what only God can do. This section teaches us something important that some believers forget—obedience isn't always dramatic. Sometimes it looks like staying. Sometimes it looks like releasing. But it always looks like faithfulness, obedience, and trust in God's work beyond our control. Faithfulness is practiced in complicated places. DO THIS: Name your current relational reality honestly before God—without minimizing it or dramatizing it. Ask Him what faithfulness looks like here, not somewhere else. ASK THIS: Where am I tempted to escape rather than obey? How can I pursue peace without compromising holiness? What outcome am I trying to control that I need to entrust to God? PRAY THIS: Father, You see the complexity of my relationships. Give me wisdom to know when to stay faithful, when to pursue peace, and when to trust You with outcomes beyond my control. Teach me obedience that honors You in hard places. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Trust in God"

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 7:1-7. Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. — 1 Corinthians 7:1-7 Corinth celebrated sexual indulgence as entertainment, expression, escape, and even religion. Sex was merely a convenience—not commitment. But Paul doesn't invent a new sexual ethic here. He reaffirms the historic, biblical blueprint of marriage. The sexual ethic the Corinthians had forgotten: Sex belongs in monogamy. Sex outside marriage violates the covenant. Sex inside marriage is a shared responsibility—not one-sided. Here is how he starts: "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband." — Cor. 7:2 Our sexual desires aren't the problem. Dislocation of sexual desires from the covenant is the core problem. God created us with sexual desires. He is very much pro-sex, but he is also pro-covenant and designed our sexual desires and sexual acts for inside the covenant, not outside it. Sex in the wrong place fractures the plan and design of God and impacts you and others. But sex in the right place fortifies. And then Paul goes where no Greco-Roman man expected him to go: "The husband should give to his wife… and likewise the wife to her husband." — Cor. 7:3 This isn't Paul trying his hand at sex therapy like Dr. Ruth Westheimer—it was ancient biblical wisdom: Her needs matter. His needs matter. Her authority matters. His authority matters. Paul's words shatter the cultural norm: "The wife does not have authority over her own body… likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body." — Cor. 7:4 He is not suggesting domination—sexual devotion. He is not suggesting ownership—sexual surrender. He is not suggesting power—sexual partnership. He is dispelling the myth that sex was designed to be a bargaining chip, a tool of control, or a means of manipulation. It was designed to be a covenant bond. That's why Paul warns: "Do not deprive one another… so that Satan may not tempt you." — Cor. 7:5 Withholding doesn't heal—it harms. Distance doesn't purify—it exposes. Neglect doesn't strengthen—it weakens. Paul is not condemning couples in sexless seasons that they did not choose. He is confronting sexless marriages created by indifference, resentment, avoidance, or false holiness. When intimacy disappears by choice rather than circumstance, the marriage weakens—and temptation looks for an opening. Marital intimacy is spiritual protection. A safeguard. A shared shield against temptation. Then, finally in verse 7, he says: "Each has his own gift from God…" — Cor. 7:7 Marriage is a gift. Singleness is a gift. The assignment differs—the grace is the same. So Paul pulls it all together: Desire matters. Marriage matters. Holiness matters. And God designed them to work together. Sex outside marriage fractures. Sex inside marriage fortifies. Because God made desire holy—and He placed it inside the covenant for our good. DO THIS: Invest intentionally in your marriage today: initiate a needed conversation, express affection, schedule time together, or remove a distraction that's weakening your connection. ASK THIS: Where have I treated desire as convenience rather than covenant? How can I serve my spouse (or future spouse) with greater mutuality and intentionality? What part of my understanding of sex or marriage needs to realign with God's design? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for designing desire with purpose and placing it inside the covenant for our good. Teach me to honor You—whether married or single—with purity, mutuality, and devotion. Strengthen marriages, protect hearts, and anchor us in Your design. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Goodness of God"

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Thriving in Christian Singleness” from 1 Corinthians 7:25-40.  Do we put Christian marriage on a higher pedestal than Christian singleness?  Is that how God thinks of singleness? In this message we finish the section (chapters 5-7) pertaining to marriage and singleness by seeing how God plans for Christian singles to thrive.

02/26/26 TABC Follow up: Singleness and Dating Part 1 by TABC

This week in our Love, Sex, & Dating series, we asked one defining question: what's the goal? Looking at Philippians 3 and 1 Corinthians 7, we were reminded that marriage isn't the goal. Singleness isn't the goal. The goal is to be like Jesus and with Jesus. Culture tells us life begins when we find “the one,” but Paul shows us that both marriage and singleness are gifts meant to point us toward eternity. When we make relationships the source of our joy, we'll always come up empty. Jesus isn't a means to an end. He is the end.
