  • 043 The Singles Struggle with Kris Swiatocho

    With three-in-ten U.S. adults (31%) saying they are single (that is - not married, living with a partner or in a committed romantic relationship) and over 50% of U.S. adults not married, the single struggle can be very real. Churches tend to be marriage and family minded with more and more singles ministries fizzling out. Many desire to be married, but are finding the dating scene to be a nightmare. Today I am joined by Kris Swiatocho, the founder of The Singles Network Ministries, to talk about The Singles Struggle and how to live fully, even while in the wait.

    Listen in to learn:

    • How to stay out of the pit of isolation
    • Why community is your life-line
    • How to find a valuable place in a marriage and family focused church
    • Why marrieds and singles need each other
    • How to build intentional relationships in the space between friendship and dating
    • Favorite Verse:

      “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 ESV

      Favorite Quotes:

      “So many people in the Bible were single… Jesus was single, Paul, Mary, Martha… and God used them mightily!” -Kris Swiatocho

                      “The circumstance is not really the issue when something happens, the issue is how it tests our faith and if we are going to stay faith-full, peace-full, joy-full and hope-full, because Satan wants to steal our faith in those circumstances.” – Tiffany Jo Baker

                    • 034 The Approval Struggle with Lori Young

                      At the core of you and I is the need for acceptance and approval, yet so many of us have experienced an unhealthy relationship with this vital human need from neglect, toxic relationships, and insecurities. My friend, Lori Young and I share about our struggles with approval and the things we have learned along the way.

                      Listen in to learn:

                      • How authenticity fixes the unhealthy need for approval
                      • The three T’s of being authentic
                      • Why we need to choose to own our “Yes’s” every single day
                      • How this plays out in our mom-role
                      • Favorite Verse:

                        “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” -Proverbs 29:25

                        Favorite Quotes:

                        “We find ourselves being like a chameleon, wearing this camouflage to fit in for whatever situation we are in and people we are with so that we don’t stand out and we become somebody else because we think that is what they want and need. But that is hiding the God parts of us and who God made us to be.” – Tiffany Jo Baker

                        “Authenticity is a very conscious act; a decision to make every single day.” – Lori Young
