Found Family with MaryB. Safrit

Normalizing Christian Singleness (feat. Katelyn Beaty)


Listen Later

In this episode, Katelyn and I discuss:

  • the intersection of celebrity and marital status in the church
  • how cultural context impacts how we singles see ourselves
  • the problem with singles' events at most churches
  • the power of being part of a spiritually nourishing community
  • and more!

Katelyn Beaty is a Midwest native living in New York City and editorial director for Brazos Press. But the most important thing you should know about her is that she loves words and believes they can change the world. Katelyn served as Christianity Today magazine's youngest and first female managing editor. 

She has written for The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and The New York Times on light topics such as politics, gender, and theology and has commented on faith and culture for CNN, ABC, NPR, Associated Press, Religion News Service, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Katelyn enjoys exploring NYC, karaoke (post-pandemic, of course), FaceTiming with her nephew, international travel, and starting the day with the NYT Spelling Bee. 

You can follow Katelyn on Instagram @katelyn_beaty and on Twitter @KatelynBeaty. Read more of her work at katelynbeaty.com. Celebrities for Jesus is available wherever you buy books.
