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.

 In the final episode of his The Household of God series, Craig Ford examines Matthew 19:1-12 in, "Singleness and Marriage Part II". 

Sacred Singleness by Chicago Tabernacle

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.

“Singleness is a piece of cake, it's layered.”

Series: Tough Love: A Study of 1 Corinthians: Part 3 Title: God's Design for Marriage & Singleness Pastor: Doug Colby Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5-7 https://www.venturamissionary.com/

The early church is often painted as an ideal of perfect community. The reality, however, was far from picturesque. The church in Corinth was, to put it lightly, a mess. In one of his letters to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul tried to paint a clear picture for the people and untangle the many theological and moral knots the church had created for itself. His letter to them still rings true to the church today. How can we be unified in a world of chaos? How can we be wise in a world of foolishness?

In this sermon we look at 1 Corinthians 7 and talk about how we as Christians better understand the goodness of singleness.For more teaching, visit citizenscharlotte.com/teaching

The sermon emphasizes the importance of prioritizing singleness and devotion to God before pursuing romantic relationships, drawing from Matthew 6 and 19 to suggest that singleness is a valid and valuable state, not a deficiency. It explores the reasons for choosing singleness, including birth, circumstance, and a deliberate commitment to serving the Lord, highlighting the potential for fulfilling ministry and spiritual growth within this state. The speaker cautions against hastily entering relationships, particularly when called to a specific purpose like missionary work, and underscores the need for parents to guide their children in establishing clear dating standards rooted in scripture, ultimately advocating for a life centered on God's calling rather than worldly pursuits.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"The Bible presents many topics that elicit passionate and polarizing opinions. One of these is how unmarried Christians should evaluate their calling and purpose as it relates to marriage.Our guest, PIETER VALK, has a lot to say on the subject. As a Christian who for most of his life has experienced same-sex attraction and a commitment to honor a traditional Biblical sexual ethic, Pieter has embraced a life of vocational singleness. But he doesn't think it's something only gay or same-sex attracted people should consider.Pieter believes the calling to remain single has deep, meaningful purpose for those who would embrace it. He believes single people have a responsibility to own their lives and to pursue deep relationships outside of marriage, AND he believes the Church has a responsibility to provide real family to those who remain unmarried.Pieter is the founder and executive director of Equip, a premier consulting and training solution for churches aspiring to be places where LGBT+ people are embraced and thrive according to historic sexual ethics. Since their inception in 2014 they have trained over 35,000 individuals on how to better love and care for LGBT+ people in their churches and communities. EQUIP's web sitePieter on InstagramSome of Pieter's writingsPieter's article on vocational singleness#pietervalk #equip #equipyourcommunity #vocationalsingleness #christiansingleness #lgbt #gaychristian #pornaddiction #sexaddiction #healing #recovery #grace #gospel #transformation Support the showAwaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

1 Corinthians 7 The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk.” Singleness is not a lesser state in God's eyes; rather, every follower of Jesus Christ, whether single, married, engaged, or widowed, has been called to grow in our relationship with Him, serve Him obediently, and live as His faithful disciple. Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to 1 Corinthians 7 and brings us today's teaching … PART 2 of his message entitled: What About Singleness?: A Christian Perspective.

Today, the first part of this lesson is given: The Household of God: "The Goodness of Marriage and Singleness in the Church", given on September 14th, 2025.

1 Corinthians 7 God has called many believers to glorify Him in marriage by raising godly families, reflecting the love of Christ in the marriage relationship, and modeling Christlike character to a watching world. But He has also called others to singleness, and to glorify Him in this unmarried state through the unique opportunities it gives for spiritual growth and undistracted devotion to Christ. Stay with us now as Dr. Reeder takes us to 1 Corinthians 7 and brings us today's teaching … PART 1 of his message entitled: What About Singleness?: A Christian Perspective.

In Week 5 of Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Scott Worthington teaches from 1 Corinthians 7:6–8. Singleness has become a norm in America, lasting longer than ever before—and this message explores what God's Word says about being single. We learn that singleness is a gift—the one season of life where you can give undivided attention to Jesus and His mission. We also discuss dating. While the Bible doesn't provide a step-by-step dating manual, it does offer clear wisdom about relationships, character, and purity. Check out this sermon to learn more!

They also get real about singleness stories that don't have a “happy ending” … at least not yet — and why it's actually okay to just leave it at trusting God.Plus, Ally and Ashley flip the script and ask Sadie some questions too: about her own single season and how she knew Christian was the one.  https://fastgrowingtrees.com - Get 15% off your first purchase when using the code WHOA at checkout. https://drinkag1.com/whoa — Use my link to give the new AG1 flavors a try, plus get a FREE Welcome Kit!

Here's part 2 of the Perrys' conversation with Megan Ashley and Ebenezer Endiryas about dating in your 30s.Jackie, Preston, Megan and Ebenezer left you on a cliffhanger. “Should we be more focused on dating people that we're in community with?” The group picks up the conversation there, talking about creating environments where someone you've met online can be brought into your community. They talk about how unkind it is to lead someone on, how men's lack of emotional connection with other men impacts how they experience women, and how beneficial it would be if singles stopped thinking about “the one” and reflected more on God's sovereignty. At the end of the day, all of these questions around dating and singleness are nuanced. It's not black and white – these conversations require wisdom.Scripture references:Matthew 6:33 Connect with Ebenezer:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ebenezerendiryas/https://www.instagram.com/shapingtheculturepodcast/Shaping The Culture Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shaping-the-culture/id1351020282 Connect with Megan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/immeganashley/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ImmeganashleyIn Totality Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-totality-with-megan-ashley/id1614077859 Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter: https://withtheperrys.myflodesk.com/zhfus4jx1sJoin Preston's discipleship community for men: https://www.patreon.com/PrestonPerry/membershipTo support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/withtheperrysShop BOLD Apparel: boldapparel.shop

Send us a textSo many of us wrestle with the waiting, the longing, and the questions that come with singleness. In today's episode, I'm joined by author Bob Wheatley, who literally wrote the book on this season—Single-Minded. Together, we dive into the truth about singleness that often goes unspoken: how God uses this time to shape you, prepare you, and remind you that your worth is not defined by your relationship status.Whether you're tired of the wait, struggling to trust God's timing, or simply curious about what He's doing in your life right now—this conversation will leave you encouraged and re-centered on the One who never wastes a season.

No one is really talking about what it's like to be single in your 30s, or after you're divorced or widowed, but it's time to have a mature conversation about it. The Perrys are joined by two friends – Ebenezer and Megan – to talk about their separate experiences. Ebenezer Endiryas is a single pastor who longs to be married one day, and Megan Ashley is a mom of three who was married for 14 years prior to her divorce. Both call themselves hopeless romantics, though they each now have a healthier understanding of kingdom-minded marriage and the sanctification it brings. Jackie, Preston, Megan, and Ebenezer discuss affection and intimacy, why it's important to have realistic expectations when you marry a sinner, and what dating looks like today when more people are meeting online than in community together. This is just the first half of a two-part conversation. Be sure to tune in to the September 8 episode for even more on this discussion. Scripture references:2 Samuel 11Connect with Ebenezer: Ebenezer's InstagramShaping The Culture's InstagramShaping The Culture PodcastConnect with Megan:InstagramYouTubeIn Totality PodcastThis Episode is Sponsored By:https://magicspoon.com/PERRY — Get $5 off your next order!https://weekendtoremember.com — Register for HALF PRICE till September 15th.
