Episode Summary

Today’s episode is Part 2 of a 2 part episode. I speak with Al Miller, my Pastor, Spiritual Authority and Mentor. He continues the discussion on 'What It Really Means To Be Single', explaining that singleness is not about being in a relationship but about character, personality, attitude. He gives us tips on how to achieve our singleness. He explains that someone who is single is upright, balanced  internally and demonstrates that their mind, will and emotions are  consistent with their Spirit.
