Love Island. The Bachelor. The Bachelorette. Are You the One? Temptation Island. Love Connection. Blind Date. The Dating Game. Beauty and the Geek. Next. Love is Blind… In a culture out-of-its-mind obsessed with *the idea of* relationships and romance, what is the experience of being single through your 20s? Your 30s? Your 40s? More to the point, in an evangelical subculture that has notoriously not seen singleness as beautiful but as not-quite-whole-ness, as aww-poor-so-and-so-ness… how should single people understand their place in the church? In this episode, David sits down with Pastor Aaron Gomez to talk candidly about the church’s failures, why singles ministries are dumb, and how walking with the Lord as a single person in a community of faith is meant to be a profound, mature spiritual experience. Come for Pastor Aaron’s perspective as a single guy in his 30s who is also a senior pastor of a church… stay for the practical encouragement to walk steady with the Lord regardless of your relationship status!
