What We Learned From Christian Singles [109]

In this episode, Matt & Jenn share some eye-opening observations after spending some  time with a group of unmarried Christians talking about the the unique challenges that they face in their pursuit of holiness.  Here's what we learned from them:Unmarried Christians are vulnerable to struggles with sexual temptation and loneliness. I need to do a better job of helping singles find a place of belonging and support within my home and the church.Most single Christians do not have trusted mentors when it comes to understanding and living out their sexuality. I need to be a louder voice and safer place for God’s plan for sexuality, dating and marriage in the Kingdom. If young people aren’t asking me for advice, I should consider why not.Pornography is rampant in the church (not just among young people, not just among men). Most people do not know how to quit or where to even start. Church, do better. I need to be a stronger advocate for dealing with this destructive issue in my community.Join us at the 2022 Annual Marriage Retreat, September 22-24, in Houston, TX.
