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.

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.

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

Pastor Philip Jeffries Meadowthorpe Baptist Church http://www.meadowthorpebaptistchurch.com 330 Larch Lane, Lexington, KY 40511 (859) 523-3815

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 this lecture, we explore Romans 12:1-2, focusing on the call to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, aligning our lives with God's mercy and will. The discussion initiates with a prayer, setting a reflective tone as participants are invited to engage with the message of transformation through the renewing of their minds. This theme becomes the bedrock for a comprehensive examination of cultural paradigms surrounding relationships, particularly in the context of singleness, marriage, and family.The speaker congratulates attendees for reaching the final session of a series that thoughtfully deconstructs contemporary relationship dynamics through the lens of biblical teaching. A critical assertion is made: the need to resist conforming to the prevailing patterns of our cultural moment, which are often found to be ineffective, as supported by sociological evidence. Instead, a call to be rejuvenated in our thinking through God's guidance is emphasized, fostering a framework for exploring meaningful alternatives to societal norms.Throughout the discussion, we are urged to reflect on the cultural 'fish bowl' that we inhabit, recognizing the various historical contexts in which Christians have navigated their faith concerning relationships. This leads to a series of hypothetical 'small plates'—creative suggestions aimed at prompting thoughtful actions among the audience. Ideas include experimenting with alternative living arrangements that incorporate communal practices, recognizing the often-overlooked valor in celibacy, fostering new environments for dating that prioritize integrity and joy, and advocating for open dialogues around the challenges of marriage, singleness, and parenting.A critical analysis of current relationship paradigms follows, centering around the concept of "confluent love," as coined by sociologist Anthony Giddens. This type of love is characterized by active, contingent relationships that hinge on mutual satisfaction rather than deep-rooted commitment. The implications of such a paradigm are dissected, revealing how it often transforms relationships into transactional experiences, where the worth of companionship is constantly evaluated against personal satisfaction, leading to a potential cycle of abandonment and superficial connections.The lecture then pivots to the Christian understanding of love as modeled by Jesus—an unreserved and sacrificial love that calls for self-giving rather than self-seeking. Through a barrage of New Testament texts, the speaker illustrates that the essence of Christ-like love is one of commitment and transformation, contrasting sharply with the fluidity of confluent love. By exploring how love in the Christian context is inherently linked to the act of giving, participants are invited to reconsider the metrics they apply to their relationships, focusing less on personal gain and more on how they can serve and love others.As the lecture approaches its conclusion, questions are posed about the deeply ingrained societal views on relationships, encouraging attendees to introspectively assess their own prevailing beliefs and approaches. The takeaway emphasizes that understanding and embracing Christ's model of committed love has the power to shift relational dynamics, fostering deeper connections and a more profound intimacy both with God and with others. The concluding message reinforces the idea that our relationship with Christ—the ultimate expression of committed love—should inform and transform all other human relationships.This engaging exploration of relational paradigms ultimately aims to refocus the audience on their foundational relationship with Christ, highlighting that recognizing His unwavering love and commitment provides a liberating framework for all personal relationships. The lecture closes with a heartfelt prayer inviting the Holy Spirit to enrich participants' lives with the transformative love of God.

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!

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.
