Deep dives

Embracing Singleness in the Church

Singleness in the church is often overshadowed by a focus on marriage, creating an environment where singleness is viewed as a waiting period for marriage rather than a valid and fulfilling season of life. The church's shallow theology of singleness often neglects to highlight the beauty and significance of this unique stage. As a result, discussions and teachings surrounding singleness are predominantly linked to marriage, instilling a mindset that one's value or completion is tied to finding a partner.
