Just Wait on God (and other bad relationship advice)

“You just need to wait on God to bring you a relationship.”

If you’re single, there’s a good chance you’ve heard that advice at some point along the way. The problem is that what it means to “wait on God” often get’s misinterpreted into meaning that you should DO NOTHING. 

Too many singles are on the side of the spectrum of passivity when it comes to their relationships, because they have been taught that waiting on God means you do less and trust God more. 

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking why I think this is “bad advice” and what waiting on God should look and feel like when it comes to our romantic relationships. How do you wait on God, yet still continue to pursue your heart’s desire for relationships? Is waiting a God an action, or a place of the heart?  That’s what we’re talking about today!!

I love this episode so much, and especially because I’m joined by my friend Kait Warman, an amazing woman with a heart for singles and healthy dating, and who is currently living the single life!! I know this episode will challenge and encourage you, so be sure to tune in!
