Practical Advice For Single Christian Leaders

Often the Christian leadership and ministry world tends to lift up marriage to a place that might make those who are single feel less qualified. But there's no biblical evidence that suggests being single makes you less qualified to be a leader. In fact, the opposite may be true. Some of the greatest leaders in the history of God's kingdom were single. In this episode, we're talking to the single Christian leaders and giving some practical advice about navigating this season.

What I love about Pastor John and Wayne is that they don’t share from a “I’m better than you” perspective. They share what’s worked, what they’re trying and what hasn’t worked so that you can walk away with ideas and action steps in your own leadership journey!
Incredible Leadership Insight!
