Katrina and Parker talk about singleness and how it looks to be fully known, encouraged, and challenged by friends. Singleness can be approached by the church with cliches like, "God is preparing someone for you," or "One day you will find your person." We do not know the Lord's plan and who is called to singleness, but we do know that singleness is held high in scripture and that marriage is not the goal of life. Married and single people alike will benefit hearing these two women talk about singleness and helpful tips on how to support singles within the church body.
