On Purpose Christian Dating

Episode 2 - Before Dating (Part 1) - Planted, Not Buried


Listen Later

Today, we're blessed to have Maya join us as we explore the heart of singleness from a godly perspective, discussing the profound concept of being 'Planted, Not Buried.' Together, we dissect the complex emotions surrounding the longing for a partner and share our own experiences of feeling sidelined in a world that often prioritizes relationships. Through stories of personal growth and finding joy in Christ, we affirm that being single isn't a waiting period—it's a time for deep roots to grow.

As we open up about our own paths, we confront the internal battles that can leave many of us singles questioning our worth. The transformative potential of scripture becomes our focal point, guided by Romans 12:2, which reminds us not to conform to the world's patterns but to renew our minds. Maya offers invaluable insights into how counseling and therapy, particularly from a Christian viewpoint, can help navigate through past traumas and pave the way toward emotional health. This journey isn't just about preparing for a future relationship, but about embracing the completeness that exists within our relationship with God.

We wrap up our heartfelt discussion by addressing the practical steps in seeking therapy and mentorship, overcoming loneliness, and resisting temptation. I share how parenthood has reshaped my vision of God's unwavering love and the way it parallels our capacity to love others. The conversation culminates in celebrating the blessing of a spouse who shares a commitment to spiritual growth, and we close with a prayer that encapsulates our gratitude for God's ever-present guidance. Whether you're single and searching, or simply seeking to understand singleness from a Christian perspective, this dialogue will uplift and inspire.
