Marriage, Singleness, and Our Identity in Christ

Everyday Disciple Podcast

Show Notes

Most of us in the church have heard the message, even if no one said it out loud: get married, have a family, and you'll be complete. We've built so many of our rhythms and language around marriage as the destination that singleness has quietly become a waiting room.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to look at how the church's narratives about marriage and singleness have limited us — and what it looks like to find real wholeness and identity in Christ, whether you have a ring on your finger or not.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: - What the Bible actually says about marriage — and what it doesn't - Why singleness in the church gets treated like a problem to fix - How our language about marriage unintentionally excludes and diminishes - What it means to be complete in Christ regardless of relationship status

As Christians, we most often use the word “belief” in connection to our faith and the Bible, but we also have beliefs that shape our lives connected to pretty much every action or inaction in life. Sometimes these beliefs can limit our potential.
