EP. 52 | THE FINAL EPISODE! The completion of The Single Man Podcast is here. What a journey it has been. I've been working to fulfill what I felt like God told me to do in October 2023 - release 52 total episodes about how Christian men were navigating faith + dating to reach single men who don't know Jesus. March 27, 2026 we reach The Final Episode which I have titled "Finishing Well | The Completion of a Podcast for Single Men by a Single Man | EP. 52" Thank you to everyone who has tuned in as part of the journey & a special thank you to each of the 52 total guests who came on & trusted me to steward their story well. I hope you'll tune in to see how The Single Man Podcast concludes...

EP. 50 | Can you believe we've made it to Episode 50?! With just THREE episodes remaining, Carlton sits down with his 61-year-old dad, Jay French, for one of the most theological episodes yet! Jay grew up in the “Bible Belt” of rural South Georgia, where he accepted Jesus, but his story did not end there. Jay walks through his personal journey, weaving in what the Bible actually says about salvation, which verses point to it, and even what you can reference if you do not trust the Bible yet. Believing Jay’s testimony will encourage you to take an honest next step toward Jesus.

EP. 49 | With only four episodes remaining, Carlton sits down with his 64-year-old mom, Nina French, for one of the most heartfelt episodes yet! Nina grew up Palestinian in Jerusalem before immigrating to the United States at age 9. She opens up about her Catholic upbringing, being born just a quarter mile from where Jesus was crucified, the difference she discovered between tradition and a real relationship with Jesus, and what happened at 29 that changed everything for her faith, her future, and the family story that followed.

EP. 44 | In this powerful Episode 44, Carlton sits down with Hunter Hanna, a 25-year-old single man who hit rock bottom in his 20s after exploring partying, drinking, drugs, and New Age spirituality. Everything on the outside looked “good,” but when Hunter started asking himself, “Why Am I Alive?”, a small still voice stirred him to seek Jesus and everything began to shift. As he shares how spiritual warfare and strongholds led him into solitude, endurance, and alignment with God, Hunter also unpacks how his view of dating has changed as a single man and what he’d tell any man who feels purposeless or like there has to be more to life.
