Thriving in Singleness
Being single isn't easy. Finding joy in it isn't either. It's easy to feel like you've been left behind, or overlooked. Speaking from experience, singleness is one of the most difficult, yet unappreciated season in life. What is God's purpose in this? What should I be doing with my singleness? How can I maximize this season of life I have been loathing for quite some time now?We're going to tackle these questions and more. You're not the only one with these struggles, and we'll be meeting people who have felt the same way, but have found ways to hand their fears and desires to God and followed the adventures He laid out for them. Everybody's journey is unique, and there may only be a few episodes you can find ways relate to. This podcast isn't going to provide a magic formula, but only God can lead you and speak to you if you open your heart and allow Him to go to work. Join us every episode to find wisdom and inspiration on how you can find joy, purpose, and adventure in this season of life. When you get to the point of letting go and handing it to God, with an absurd amount of confidence that His plan is the best plan, you'd better hold on tight, because it's going to be an exciting, wild ride.Seize the day.Maximize every chapter in your life.
