Let’s be honest, there are several unique challenges singleness can bring in society and culture today. From the ‘hook-up’ culture we are seeing, to the trauma of attachment wounds, fear of commitment, loneliness, and more, singleness can at times be a very difficult season of life to navigate let alone appreciate. However, our guest today believes that singleness isn’t a curse to endure. Rather, it’s a gift to enjoy, even if at times it can be hard to see it that way. Our special guest who will be equipping and enlightening us today with several practical tools, conversation starters, and action steps to thrive and be content no matter our relationship status is Teaching Pastor of Red Rocks Austin and Best-Selling Author of the his newest book, Single Today, Ryan Wekenman. Ryan has been an unmarried pastor for over a decade. He’s heard all the usual questions: “Are you dating anyone? Any wedding plans in the future?” But he knows the real question they’re asking is, “Hey, do you think you’ll be single for the rest of your life?” Yet, even in the midst of all of the questions, our guest has discovered firsthand—and from hundreds of meetings with other single people—that we are often consumed by regrets or shame from the past, together with worry or fear of the future, making it feel impossible to find peace in the present. But the good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Our prayer is that today’s conversation would offer you a new perspective to begin seeing and living differently in the days ahead.
