    When Singleness Feels Hard: Real Talk + Practical Advice

    #160 Being single can come with real challenges — from loneliness to questions of self-worth to the tension of waiting on God’s timing. In this week’s episode, Kim and Charlotte sit down with Shivani, one of their seasoned single co-workers, to talk honestly about what makes singleness hard and how she’s learned to navigate through those things. Shiv opens up about: • Loneliness — and what it looks like to come to God honestly instead of avoiding Him • Self-Worth — how to stop settling for “scraps” of attention and anchor your identity in God’s delight • Waiting — how to trust God’s timing, live fully now, and embrace the life He’s given you If you’ve ever wrestled with unmet desires or wondered if God sees you, this episode will remind you that He does — and that He’s writing a beautiful story in your life, even in the waiting. Listen in for honest stories, practical encouragement, and a reminder that you don’t have to wait for marriage to live a full, faith-filled life.  Resources mentioned in this episode: None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different Than Us by Jen Wilkin The Attributes of God by A.W.
