Singleness is Not a Problem
For their second relationship episode, the group discusses being emotionally healthy while being single, and how to find fulfillment and joy in Christ while being single.
Katie and Matt are joined once again by Stacie Johnson and Clark Stevens as they discuss singleness.
Clark first brings up what the Scriptures tell us about marriage and singleness. He mentions having a fulfilling life as a single man until his late 30's, but how this concept was puzzling to the world around him. Stacie chimes in, disclosing that only Jesus can complete you, not a marriage. You can and should be content and fulfilled in your life with Christ, she adds, regardless of your marital status.
Matt expresses that it can be easy to think God is punishing you for something by making you single, but in fact it could just be in your best interest and His plan for your life for you to remain single.
Stacie transitions to talking about ways to live as an emotionally healthy single person, things like making decisions based on going to the Lord, not going to your flesh. She references a book by Sam Allberry. Clark asserts how important it is to see men and women in your community as brothers and sisters in Christ instead of how the flesh wants us to see them.
Matt moves into discussing how to speak in love to friends who are struggling with singleness. Clark reiterates that no matter if you're single or married, you have so much value to God and growing His Kingdom.
