Christian Single? Here's What You Should Actually Be Doing

When You Stop Wanting to Grow in God

In this episode of Veil to Vision, we’re talking about that moment when intimacy with God is still there, but the tension comes from the assignment.It’s not that you don’t want to grow in your relationship with Him. You do.You want to know Him deeper. You want to be close.But then He starts calling you to more.More responsibility. More obedience.More people. More weight.And that’s where something in you starts to hesitate.Because you already know this isn’t just about you and God anymore. This is about being trusted.This is about being sent.This is about being held accountable for what He places in your hands.And if you’re honest… it can feel easier to just stay in the place where it’s just you and Him.In this episode we get into: • why you can want God deeply but still resist what He’s calling you to do • the shift from private intimacy to public responsibility • how leadership in the Kingdom actually looks like servanthood • what it means to truly lay your life down as a disciple • feeling unqualified for what God is asking of you • the weight of being trusted with people, purpose, and assignment • what to do when you feel alone in the process • how to empty yourself and depend on the Holy Spirit instead of your own strengthThis is for the ones who are growing in God…but are starting to feel the weight of being called out by Him.If you’ve been wrestling with the cost of stepping into more, this conversation is for you.⸻🎧 Podcast: Veil to Vision by Shamique JonesReal conversations that uncover what’s beneath the surface so you can see clearly and walk fully in what God is calling you to.⸻✨ Stay connected:Instagram: VeiltoVisionPod - ( https://www.instagram.com/veiltovisionpod )Tiktok: VeiltoVisionPod - ( https://www.tiktok.com/@veiltovisionpod ) ⸻0:00-01:43- My Honest Place 01:45-04:03- Hesitation 04:04-05:47- Maturing in God05:48-07:14- Leaders are Servants07:15-07:54- Disciples lay down their Life07:55-10:30- Feeling Unqualified 10:31-11:41- Joy in the assignment 📌 Keywords:Christian podcast, spiritual growth, intimacy with God, calling and purpose, Christian leadership, obedience to God, trusting God with your calling, feeling unqualified, faith walk struggles, discipleship, surrender to God, Holy Spirit guidance, stepping into purpose, kingdom leadership, Christian encouragement

Why Most Christians Struggle with Community

Community is one of the most important parts of the Christian walk… yet it’s one of the places many believers feel the most disconnected. In this episode, my brother Jojo & I go deep into what it really means to walk in Kingdom community—not just being around people, but actually being known, healed, and planted in the body of Christ. We break down why so many struggle to find “their people,” and how unhealed places, past friendship wounds, and misused Scripture can quietly create distance even in spaces meant for connection. We talk honestly about:     •    The difference between being around believers vs. being in real community     •    The illusion of community and emotional disconnection in “safe spaces”     •    Why discipleship is essential for spiritual growth and stability     •    What Kingdom leadership actually looks like (servanthood over status)     •    Finding your place and function in the body of Christ     •    What vulnerability looks like—especially for men walking with God     •    Practical steps to step into healing, discipleship, and real connection     •    How to move from listening to actually living it out We also end with encouragement, practical direction, and a gospel invitation for anyone ready to surrender their life to Jesus and step into true relationship with Him. This episode is a reminder that you were never meant to do faith alone. There is a place for you in the body. There is healing in connection. And there is growth in discipleship. 🎧 Available on Youtube & Apple Podcasts 📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: VeilToVisionPod TikTok: VeilToVisionPod YouTube: Veil to Vision Podcast ✨ New episodes every other week— conversations that bring clarity, conviction, healing, and truth in Christ.

Christian Single? Here's What You Should Actually Be Doing

If you’re single and tired, confused, or wondering what God is doing in this season… this is for you. For a long time, I struggled with the desire for a relationship. I didn’t realize it, but I had made companionship an idol in my heart. And when I finally surrendered that desire to God, everything began to shift. In this episode, I’m sharing what God has been teaching me about singleness—not just from Scripture, but from my own life and journey. This isn’t just a message for women. This is for anyone who is trying to follow Christ while navigating singleness. We’re not just talking about “waiting.” We’re talking about becoming. In this episode, we get into: – Letting go of the idol of relationships – Learning how to truly love yourself (internally and externally) – Finding your identity in Christ instead of companionship – Building discipline, habits, and financial stewardship – Healing, growth, and breaking generational patterns – What it really means to be content in your single season – And how to approach dating from a place of wholeness, not lack Your single season is not a punishment. It’s preparation. It’s protection. It’s purpose. God is not withholding from you—He’s working in you. If you’ve been asking, “What should I be doing right now?” — this episode will help you realign your focus. 🎧 Tune in, reflect, and allow God to transform the way you see this season. — ✨ Stay connected: TikTok & Instagram @VeiltoVisionPod 💌 Share this with someone who’s navigating singleness and needs encouragement.
