The Lies of Singleness: God is Not Enough

In this final episode of The Lies of Singleness series, I’m joined by my husband, Josh, for a heartfelt and honest conversation. Together, we reflect on our individual journeys through singleness, the lessons we learned along the way, and how God was shaping us long before we met each other. We also confront one of the lies many singles wrestle with: “God is not enough.” Josh vulnerably shares how he faced that lie in his own story and how, over time, he came to a place of exchanging it for the powerful truth that God truly is all you need. Whether you're single, dating, or married, we hope this episode offers you hope, encouragement, and a reminder that your worth and fulfillment are found in God alone.

The Lies of Singleness: I do not Belong

In this powerful episode of Hope Realized, we continue our series The Lies of Singleness with a personal conversation featuring Lucy Zielinski. Lucy, who is single through divorce, vulnerably shares her journey of battling with the lie: "I don't belong." This narrative didn’t begin in adulthood—it was rooted in childhood as the daughter of immigrants, where she often felt like an outsider. As life unfolded, that sense of disconnection only deepened, especially when her relationship status changed. But Lucy’s story doesn’t end in isolation. She invites us into her movement toward healing and truth—one marked by intentional stillness and a growing confidence in God’s presence and promises. Through learning to be still, Lucy discovered that true belonging isn’t found in status or circumstance—it’s found in Him. Whether you're navigating singleness, questioning your place, or longing for deeper connection, Lucy’s story will speak to your soul.
