FLOW SPACE 6 167 Single and Dating as a Christian Join us as we discuss dating, relationships and marriage as a Christian. Diandra shares what it means to live with God at the center of her life while in the season of dating. Singleness is an opportunity to grow our faith, trust, patience and reliance on God. This season has allowed Diandra to get clear on her dating non-negotiables and lean on the Lord.We elaborate on letting the Bible be the authority over our relationships and life; highlighting purity, devotion, and biblical order within a household.God calls us to take action but we have to discern whether it is Spirit led or the flesh. There is so much greatness to experience having God at the center of your life that despair, sorrow and desperation really don't have a place to take a hold. The power of God is real. The trust in God carries us through the waiting so we can ultimately glorify Him when the fruitful relationship arrives. Surrender the vision in your mind of how things should come to be and be ready to celebrate, glorify and thank Him for the fruition of His plan. God's plan is always greater than our imagination.If you've been considering waiting, currently are letting God lead or curious as to what it can look like, this episode is for you! We laugh, get honest and share the truth of our experience in dating and marriage. Tune in to hear how Diandra made the switch from settling to positioning herself to prepare for the person God has for her.

Words like sex addict or porn addiction are hastily applied or adopted. But often we miss gaining a greater understanding of ourselves and the truth of our situation. Bill Herring, LCSW, CSAT joins Porn Free Radio to share his framework for assessing problematic sexuality. It can easily be used to assess problematic porn use. Bill's common sense framework looks at 5 categories and uses 5 questions to assess problematic sexual behaviors. Bill's Questions: Are you keeping your promises? (Commitments) Are you OKAY with what you are doing? (Values) Are you in control of yourself? (Control) Is everything okay? (Consequence) Are you protecting everyone? (Responsibility)     ---- 10 Traits of the Mature Celibate   The former Catholic priest and psychotherapist A. W. Richard Sipe has spent the bulk of his career (approximately four decades) studying the practice of celibacy in Roman Catholic contexts, and he argues that genuine celibacy is indeed viable and healthy for those who attain it. But he believes it must be pursued. A large number of vowed clergy do live lives of disciplined sexual abstinence, according to Sipe's major work Celibacy in Crisis, but what he refers to (unhelpfully) as the “achievement” of celibacy—in which the major developmental crises have been weathered and the celibate state has been embraced and is, for all purposes, irreversible—is more rare, according to Sipe. He thinks this mature state of “attained” celibacy is virtually always characterized by at least ten traits:  first, by work (the productive use of time and energy); second, by prayer (an active interior life lived in the presence of God);  third, by community (“people to whom [the celibate is] committed and people on whom they can rely”); fourth, by service (some form of self-giving that takes one beyond one's own sphere);  fifth, by an awareness of one's physical needs and a willingness to fulfill one's lawful hungers with gentleness and self-care;  sixth, by balance in the rhythms of one's lifestyle;  seventh, by security in one's relational and communal commitments (“all celibate achievers had someone to whom they felt that they had confided the essence of themselves”);  eighth, by order in one's daily and seasonal life;  ninth, by learning and ongoing curiosity about others and the world one inhabits; and  tenth and finally, by an appreciation of beauty.  The one who undertakes this kind of celibate life must become intimately familiar with his or her characteristic patterns of desire, temptation, longing, and weakness. 10 points from book: A.

He Will Never Leave You  Life Of Joseph  Part 2  Genesis  Chapter 40

Alasdair Black, our lead pastor, continues his series based on his book.

This sermon begins a five week series on a Biblical vision of singleness. Nick traces the way that the Bible talks about blessing and curse throughout the Old Testament, and how that changes in the New Testament in Paul's writing.

Jesus taught that marriage is a God-joined union of one man and one woman for life that nobody should separate, divorce is permitted in the case of sexual immorality and some believers are called to singleness for the sake of God's kingdom.

This episode features the ERLC's new church guide, "What God Has Joined Together: A Practical Guide for Honoring God's Design for Marriage." On today's episode, you'll hear from ERLC Director of Research, Dr. RaShan Frost, as he speaks with Dr. Lilly Park, one of the principal advisors on the church guide, about how to approach marriage, singleness, and sexuality from a biblical perspective in today's culture. She also addresses how the church can help Christians, both single and married, navigate challenges stemming from cultural pressures and the effects of past sexual sin while finding hope and healing in Christ. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

He Has Not Forgotten You  Part 3 Esther Chapter 6

Lead Pastor Randy Dane continues the message series "What is love for " with this message on what the bible says about singleness.

Peculiar Relationships (Marriage and Singleness). 1 Peter 2: 9, James 3: 2. (Victor Rowell; September 20, 2026).

In this message from Redeemer Church's “God's Design For” series, Pastor Jason teaches from 1 Corinthians 7 that singleness is not a waiting room or second-class status, but a good gift from God that can free believers for undivided devotion to Christ. Contrasting cultural idols of marriage and self with the unique Christian vision, he points to Jesus and Paul and calls the church to identity in Christ, contentment, sexual holiness, deep friendships, and leveraging every season for the gospel. Whether you are single, married, or in between, the deepest question is not whether you will find someone, but whether you have found Christ.

He Has Not Forgotten You Part 1   Exdous Chapter3

Rev., Dr. Aaron Chung

This passage is intensely practical and important. Some of the most difficult conversations and issues of our time relate to sex, sexuality, marriage, divorce, and how and whether our identity is rooted and shaped by it all. The issues we wrestle with are not new to us. Modern Western culture and American sensibilities are not as revolutionary or novel as we might think.On Sunday we will look to Jesus to see what he has to say and how he addresses marriage, divorce, and sex, and how our hearts and our world getting things flipped upside-down. I know that these are sensitive and deeply personal topics, and that many of us come with deep wounds and haunting doubts and questions. Let's look together at the Word of God, who is love, to see how he can bring clarity, healing, and restoration.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media⁠Website⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Vimeo⁠⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠⁠Apple App Store⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Google Play Store⁠⁠

Singleness isn't a lesser life, and marriage isn't the finish line. The goal isn't simply to find the right person—it's to become the right person God is calling you to be. In this message, we talk about navigating singleness and dating with wisdom, learning to value character over chemistry, preparation over comparison, and biblical intimacy over cultural expectations. Don't rush what God is preparing. Don't let feelings lead where wisdom should guide. And remember: waiting isn't wasting when God is working. Join us Sundays at 9AM or 11AM!

Calvary Hill Baptist Church (11am) / Pinkston (5pm) According to Christian Scripture, the purposes of marriage include friendship, sexual exclusivity, and children—but not happiness. The paradox is that the happiest marriages are those in which neither spouse focuses on their own personal happiness.  https://bio.link/danielwhouck https://www.calvaryhillbc.org/

Jesus Is A Healer Part 3  Mark Chapter 10

As we continue through the Jesus on Relationship series, we'll discover how God doesn't assign more or less value to you based on your relationship status! This weekend, learn what Jesus has to say about singleness and how living a good and holy life is available to you whether you're single or married.

Your relationship status does not determine your significance. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, divorced, or widowed, God has a purpose for the season you're in.In this message, Pastor Reggie challenges us to stop treating marriage as the destination and start recognizing that Jesus is the destination. Singleness is not a sickness, marriage is not graduation, and dating is not about finding someone to complete you. Only Jesus can complete your soul.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7, Philippians 4, and 2 Corinthians 6, Pastor Reggie shares practical and biblical wisdom for protecting your devotion to Christ in every relationship season.If you're single, this message will remind you that your life is not on hold. If you're dating, you'll learn why dating should be about discernment rather than completion. And if you're married, you'll be encouraged to remember that your marriage is a gift—not your identity.In this message, you'll discover:• Why singleness is a gift, not a deficiency• Why marriage is not the destination• How to date with discernment and purpose• Why chemistry isn't enough for a Christ-centered relationship• How boundaries can protect what matters• Why clarity is kindness in relationships• How to hold contentment and desire together• How to pursue what you desire without panicking or compromising• Why your relationship status does not define your identity• Why Jesus—not another person—is the one who truly completes you “Your purpose doesn't begin when somebody chooses you. You've already been chosen by God.”Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, divorced, or widowed, don't postpone faithfulness until your circumstances change. Live as a believer right where you are.

What should Christian Dating actually look like?Beyond “don't sleep around,” most churches are functionally silent on Christian dating leaving young believers to follow after the world's dating culture and hope not to mess it up too bad along the way. But what does God's Word actually say. Is there a way to look for a spouse that doesn't just lead to broken hearts and regret? In this sermon you'll learn: . Why your singleness is not a waiting room but a gift for undivided devotion to Christ. How Christian dating should operate under the protection of a father's headship and authority from Numbers 30 and Ephesians 6. Practical guardrails for purity and intentionality for finding a spouse. Wisdom for young men, young women, and parents for how to go about Christian DatingChristian dating is not the world's free-for-all. It is deliberate courtship aimed at finding a suitable spouse while guarding sexual purity—all under the father's authority and protection until the wedding day. The goal is a godly marriage that glorifies Christ, not temporary thrills.Marriage is one of life's most important decisions. Stop drifting. Learn how to pursue a spouse God's way—seeking Him first, honoring parents, and refusing to waste the years He has given you.
