An Evaluation of the Church and Its Singles w/ Emily Smucker, Abram Martin, Kimberly Kirtz, and Chris Witmer

In this week’s episode I had four single friends come on the pod and share some of their experiences with the church as singles.

Christian communities could be doing better at remembering that marriage and family is not the ultimate goal in life; oneness with Jesus is. As the body of Jesus, we need each other in growing together in oneness with Him. Sadly, we too often neglect or isolate our single brothers and sisters, thereby not only hurting them but ourselves.

We discuss how to grow our social worlds to be more inclusive of those with various marital statuses. We talk about whether or not to set single friends up with dates–and how to do that if they want it. 

It’s a splendid conversation! I learned a lot, and I trust you will too.

Mentioned in the episode is Emily’s book, The Highway and Me and My Earl Grey Tea. Check it out for yourself here.
