In this episode, Elizabeth is joined by a few friends to discuss some of the misconceptions  surrounding singleness in both secular and Christian culture. They share their personal experiences navigating singleness and address harmful lies that often creep into the conversation, such as the notion that being single means something is wrong with you or that marriage is the only path to sanctification. Additionally, we explore a biblical view of singleness and sexuality in a post-christian culture that holds sexual expression as integral to being truly human.
