SNAKE 15: What Is The Role of Singleness/Singles in a Family Church Culture?

In this episode of Snake on the Table, we discuss how singles can find their place and purpose within a church culture that often emphasizes marriage and parenting. How should singles process their role when surrounded by families? Should they feel left out, or is there a deeper biblical perspective to explore? We tackle these questions and more, drawing from our experiences at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky.

Join us as we react to the cultural push for contentment in singleness and challenge the idea of a so-called "gift of singleness." We explore how singles can embrace their current season while aspiring to godly ambitions, such as marriage and family. We also delve into how singles can actively serve the church community through acts like public evangelism and assisting families.

Curious about how you can contribute to your church as a single person? We invite your thoughts and questions—send them to snakeandcatable@gmail.com. Don't forget, you can listen to us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!
