    Single & Set Apart: Patience, Surrender, and Dating in Your 30s

    In this episode of For Such a Time As This, I sit down with my friend Annie to talk about the reality of singleness and dating in your 30s.

    Single & Set Apart: God’s Timing Isn’t Punishment

    Season 2 of For Such a Time as This is officially here. This season, we’re talking about something deeply personal and often quietly painful in the Church — singleness. Welcome to Single & Set Apart. In this first episode, I sit down with one of my close friends as she shares what it’s been like navigating her late 20s having never been in a serious relationship. We talk about: • The silent insecurities no one talks about • Watching friends get engaged and married • Wrestling with desire vs. surrender • Dating in today’s culture as a believer • Trusting God’s timing when yours feels delayed This isn’t a conversation about “fixing” singleness. It’s about honoring it. It’s about understanding it. It’s about asking what God might be forming in us in this season. If you’re single, waiting, dating, content, frustrated, hopeful, or somewhere in between then this season is for you. Because singleness isn’t a placeholder. It’s not a punishment. It’s not a delay in your calling. It might just be sacred. 🎧 Watch now and join the conversation. And if this resonates, share it with a friend walking this season too.
