    Stewarding Singleness with Lisa Good

    In this Episode Andrea and Danielle chat with Lisa Good about singleness! Lisa shares how the gospel has shaped her perspective of singleness and her appreciation for knowing a God who cares.    “Singleness is a gift of time.” - Lisa Good There is grace from God for unwed Christians to prioritize relationship with God and gospel mission. There is also grace to endure, and forgiveness for those who have found themselves in unlikable places.  Join us as we share our hot takes on dating apps and unrealistic displays of love in romantic movies. We conclude that the marital union is a smaller depiction of the truest love story between Christ and the Church. Regardless of one's marital status, this is the wedding day to prepare ourselves for.  Reflection Questions: How do you interpret your singleness? Do you see the grace extended to you in this season? If yes, explain.A warped theodicy can cause us to excuse ourselves from the moral order God has ordained. What lies about singleness and/or your human value have you believed? b. How have you used these lies as a means to continue in sin? We live in an age of distraction, but God calls us to live devotedly. Reflect on how you can devote yourself to God - redeeming the times for the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:16)Consider ways you can be mindfully hospitable to the unwed in your local church. Consider ways you can better serve your local church as an unwed woman.Pray. Meditate on Philippians 4: 4-14.  Additional Resources:  Sex and The Single Girl by Dr. Juli Slattery  The meaning of marriage by Timothy Keller TGC Blog Article by Marshall Segal Marriage Is Very Good. Singleness May Be Even Better.

    Idle Time is not Rest with Abbey Sitterley

    Abbey and Danielle discuss idle time and practical ways to intentionally rest well. It seems the only people resting well are the ones approaching it intentionally.. Abbey and Danielle contemplate routines, discipline, and work/life balance. Is work/life balance even a thing? Idle time can result in sin, like endless scrolling, procrastinations, and our proclivity to choose laziness over the hard work we are called to do. Reynolds Price says “the whole point of learning about the human race presumably is to give it mercy.” If you are feeling so caught in the entanglement of idleness,feeling like years have been wasted and time has been lost. SHAME OFF YOU! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! In Joel 2:25 God says, “He will restore the time the locusts have eaten.” Even in our wandering and disobedience, God is compassionate, faithful, and committed to us. May this episode encourage you to reengage with the assignment God has given you!
