For years, I carried quiet questions in my heart: “Am I single because I made marriage an idol?” Maybe you’ve wondered the same thing.

In this raw and deeply scriptural episode, I share the journey few talk about — the wilderness of singleness, the silence of God, and the sting of watching others move into marriage even when they weren’t doing things “the right way.”

I revisit the familiar accusation that my desire for a husband was an idol, and then I share what changed everything for me: a fresh look at Ezekiel 20:16. This passage exposes what idolatry really is — not a longing in the heart, but a heart that goes after something in disobedience to God’s Word.

Through Scripture, personal testimony, and Holy Spirit clarity, I walk through:

• the difference between desire and idolatry
• what Ezekiel 20:16 actually teaches
• how Proverbs 23:7 connects thoughts to behavior
• why Deuteronomy 8:2 reframes the wilderness season
• how obedience proves your desire isn’t an idol

If you’ve remained single out of obedience, listened to the still small voice, turned down opportunities, or refused to force something you could have made happen — this episode is for you.
