Tired of the “So…are you seeing anyone?” Holiday interrogations? Feeling like your relationship status defines your worth or purpose? You’re not alone. In this honest, hope-filled episode of Light Talks, host Ali sits down with Jarrod Pfarr, a 34-year-old educator who is unmarried, to unpack what it means to live fully and faithfully right where you are. 

Together, they dive into what Scripture really says about singleness (hint: it’s not a waiting room), how to deal with awkward assumptions and unwanted advice, and how to guard your heart in a dating culture that often misses the mark. Discover how to find joy, purpose, and contentment in the now and remember that your identity isn’t “single” or “taken.” It’s “child of God.” Period. Listen and leave reminded that God’s grace is bigger than your relationship status.

This episode is jam packed with content. Here are some things to look forward to:

• Biblical View of Singleness: What Scripture—especially 1 Corinthians 7—teaches about devotion to God in singleness.
• Identity in Christ: Finding wholeness in Jesus rather than in a relationship status.
• Navigating Expectations: Handling pressure, assumptions, and exclusion single people often face in church and community life.
• Contentment & Growth: Wrestling with contentment, avoiding bitterness, and viewing singleness as a season of purpose.
• Dating Realities: Honest talk about challenges in today’s dating culture and how faith shapes the experience.
• Encouragement & Inclusion: How married friends and churches can intentionally include singles—and what to remember when feeling unseen.
