How Single Women Can Live a Better Story

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2549192/fan_mail/new] Singleness is often treated as a time for self indulgence or a throw away season until real life begins—but is that how Scripture actually describes it? In this episode, Heather talks with Lydia Edmonds about her article “How Single Women Can Live a Better Story.” Together they address what it means that we are created for good works in every season, how single women should be preparing for marriage, and why this topic of singleness is an important conversation the church needs to recover.
