Topical Discussion:
Dating. Love. Desire. Intimacy. Marriage. The majority of Christian singles say they want to experience the joy and fulfillment embodied in each of the above words, yet many are finding themselves unexpectedly single into their 30′s, 40′s and beyond. In this presentation we’ll explore:
• How church leaders and staff can better care for their single congregants and promote a sense of place and belonging.
• Some of the variables that create complexity in the world of Christian dating.
• Tools that can help men and women cope with the difficulty of being single into their middle adult years and the pain of unfulfilled longing and desire.
• The importance of single men and women claiming an identity as God’s beloved sons and daughters, and how this identity is crucial to knowing peace and contentment in the single life.
