Single, Christian, and in Your 30s: The Silent Aches No One Talks About
Last year, I wrote an article about the pain of reaching age 32 as a Christian and still being unmarried. Because with all my heart I looked to trust the Lord, to love Jesus, and...slapping verses on my emotions didn't mean I felt constant, hopeful joy in many of the realities and confusions I faced. I did not and will not sugar coat how I felt before meeting my now husband. I was jaw-dropped at the number of messages and DMs I received from that article. It showed something. The loneliness and unique pain of being a single Christian over age 30 is a big deal, and there are silent pains and isolations I felt called to bring into the light. In this episode, you'll sit with me as I share things I really haven't heard talked about anywhere else. *Buying a home single...and how devastating that was *Examples of conversations and sentences that can be so hurtful as a single Christian in your 30s...that feel impossible to admit *Some of the things I witnessed in ministry that weren't wrong and are beautiful, but felt like a proverbial knife again and again *The exhaustion from doing so much of life and decisions alone - for so long *The struggle and question around advice that only focuses on the words "Trust God" - without the other pieces involved Someone today is going to feel witnessed. Someone is going to feel seen. The heartbeat of this episode is you know you're NOT alone. That you are SEEN. Our stories may not match exactly, but the pain of our unique shared experience I sense will still connect us. I pray this episode sheds a light to address some of these shackles. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:54 The Unique Pain of Singleness in Your Thirties 01:24 Addressing the Validity of Singlehood Emotions 06:39 The Impact of Church Leadership on Singlehood Perception 18:22 Personal Struggles and God's Guidance 23:18 The Challenges of Managing Life Solo 26:35 Empathy and Understanding for Singlehood 45:44 Hope and Encouragement for the Future
